Gail Hochman

I gradualted college and immediately took a job in Publishing. Worked in a Publishing house for two years and then luckily got a job as an agent in the oldest American literary agency. Had to develop a client list from scratch. After five or six years, I moved to another old American agency, then called Brandt and brandt literary agents. it was a family firm but the next generation was not interested and so I became a partner and now I own the agency fully. I’m proud of my team of really bright younger agents. The office is called Brandt & Hochman Literary Agents, Inc.
I live in Park slope, Brooklyn, and office is in the heart of Times Square.

Not sure my memories are so funny because I studied neuroanatomy/neurophysiology, which isn’t terribly funny . What I remember are some of the older older professors who probably retired or passed away, not long after we graduated. These are fond memories. There was a retired science professor who led early Saturday morning nature walks. I am not a morning person, but I had a friend who was, who would drag me out sometimes on these walks. I also remember that schedule choices would be Monday Wednesday, Friday in the morning or TuesdayThursday Saturday in the morning. My kids would never ever have gone to a Class on Saturday morning. Also I am not a morning person, but a lot of the sciences started at 8 AM. I did almost the full premed major until I realized it was not for me. What was I thinking?
