ABOUT

The ARI Literary Agency represents a number of Armenian writers worldwide including several outstanding names of the Generation Independence. 

ARI Agency was established by Arevik Ashkharoyan. After having worked for 10 years in the corporate world she decided to pursue a career inspired by her love of reading. She started a literary agency with a partner in 2010, which soon inspired her to start thinking about her own agency and the decision was made to launch The ARI Literary and Talent Agency in 2016. In 2017 Ashkharoyan also started a non-profit ARI Literature Foundation to implement projects aimed at development of publishing sector, establishing international dialog and promoting reading and writing.

“Reading served as a point of escape at the hardest times of my life, especially while living in Armenia during the post-soviet era shortly after independence. It was also a great way to receive an education and be able to travel to countries and times far away. Equally, I want other readers from all over the world to travel to my homeland, see the cultural wonders of my country, understand our history, traditions, contemporary life and meet Armenian people through books.” Arevik Ashkharoyan, Literary Agent
