Alice McDermott Reviews

  • As I mentioned to Katie and Marissa, Marissa was among the most responsive, professional, and friendly agents I have worked with in more than ten years running this lecture series. Katie, too, was excellent (we just worked more closely with Marissa). Alice was phenomenal!
