The Carmen Balcells Agency was founded over sixty years ago with the aim of professionalising writers' work. The Agency currently represents many of the essential authors of contemporary literature, while investing in new talents. It defends authors' literary interests and intellectual property worldwide, in all formats and media, with a firm commitment to providing the very best service. In 60 years, the Carmen Balcells Literary Agency has represented the works of six Nobel Laureates in Literature: Miguel Ángel Asturias, Pablo Neruda, Vicente Aleixandre, Gabriel García Márquez, Camilo José Cela, and Mario Vargas Llosa.
