Adaptation: With Jillian Davis - literary agent

Jillian Davis is a literary agent living in Los Angeles. Graduating from Syracuse University as a double major in Television/Radio/Film and English & Textual Studies, she thought she would never use either major, and ended up using both. She worked at Frolic Media for several years where she immersed herself in the online romancelandia community and worked tirelessly to turn romance novels into television and film. She is now the founder of the book department at the Kaplan Stahler Agency, where she works tirelessly to bring women’s stories to publishers and producers alike. Jillian volunteers as a mentor with WriteGirl, enjoys scuba diving, is a yellow belt in krav maga, and spends too much money at LA’s local bookstores. This is a public episode.
