AUTHOR'S AGENT

Maxine Morelli, juvenile editor at Danforth Literary Agency, made life doubly difficult for Lorna Saunders, fresh out of college. As switchboard-operator and apprentice reader, Lorna learned the cold hard facts of life in an office and experienced the rewards of the publishing world. Her discovery and encouragement of a major new writer and sharing an apartment with Madeline made the days fly in New York. Major setbacks and disappointments seemed trivial when Noel an associate, proposed a marriage in which she could continue the life she had learned to love.
