Nicholas CroceNicholas has had a life-long love of books. He earned his degree in Creative Writing from the University of New Mexico and Certification in Book Publishing from New York University. He started his publishing career at John Wiley & Sons and Rosen Publishing. Shortly thereafter he launched a small press, which Writers Digest named as one of the top markets for book writers because of its strong commitment to its authors. Yet, wishing to work more closely with writers on an developmental level, he shuttered the press in 2007 to found the Croce Agency, which is proud to have helped place titles on several bestseller lists in such a short time.
