InkWell Management is a large New York agency. It was formed in 2004 through the merger of Arthur Pine Associates. Carlisle & Company, and Witherspoon Associates. Inkwell handles both fiction and nonfiction, literary and commercial literature, adult and young adult books. 

InkWell says: "We offer the all-round service of a large agency, while maintaining the intimacy of a boutique. We work together as a close-knit team, ensuring that each client has every advantage at all stages of the process, from inception to publication and beyond."
