Ami Greko
Ami Greko oversees Folio's marketing and publicity department. Before moving to New York City, Ami earned an undergraduate degree in writing and spent many years working in and patronizing bookstores in the greater Michigan area. After moving to the city in 2004, she completed the Columbia Publishing Course and landed a publicity job at Viking Penguin. Honing her skills with the likes of A. M. Homes, J. M. Coetzee, Martha Grimes, Dave Sobel and Simon Reynolds, she found strengths in both online marketing and event coordination.
Advancing to a publicity job with Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2006, she continued her focus on events and got the opportunity to further challenge herself and expand her publicity skills by working primarily with poets. With a list of award-winning poets like Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, C. K. Williams and Derek Walcott, Ami expanded FSG's poetry publicity efforts by creating and maintaining the company's first-ever poetry blog, The Best Words in Their Best Order.
At Folio Literary Management, Ami works with authors and publishing houses to create comprehensive publicity campaigns that utilize internet, regional and grassroots marketing, in addition to traditional publicity methods.
Through targeted mailings, booking support for radio and television interviews, online publicity help and well-maintained databases, Folio continues to find new and exciting ways to work with publishers and our authors on a wide range of marketing and publicity initiatives that go well beyond the scope of what most literary agencies offer.
