  Robert Gottlieb was born and raised in New York City. After graduating in 1976 from Elmira College with a Bachelor of Arts degree he began his illustrious career in the mailroom of the William Morris Agency as part of the company's Agent in Training Program. In 1977, Mr. Gottlieb became a department assistant in WMA's literary department and shortly thereafter began working with the head of the department, Owen Laster. Five years later he became a literary agent, discovered Tom Clancy in the early eighties and in 1989 was promoted to Senior Vice President becoming one of the youngest agents to ever head WMA Literary Department. He was the then elected to the Board of Directors and became Executive Vice President in 1992.   After 24 years at the William Morris Agency, Mr. Gottlieb started Trident Media Group, LLC in September 2000 where he now serves as Chairman. Robert Gottlieb presently represents many best selling authors including the Frank Herbert Estate and in the past represented the sequel to Gone With The Wind and Isaac Asimov's "Fantastic Voyage II". He has consulted with the Vatican and the Russian Cultural Ministry in connection with intellectual property rights. 

In 2005 the Bolshoi joined Trident's clients in connection with book publishing.

  Known for "Branding Authors". 

  To name a few over the years that I have worked with: 

  Robert Gottlieb discovered the author Tom Clancy and created his brand in cross media. 

  Robert Gottlieb developed the project known as The Sequel to "GONE WITH THE WIND" written by one of his clients. The Sequel was made into a 10-hour mini-series and was sold in over 44 countries for translation.

Janet Evanovich. Although no longer a client, when Mr. Gottlieb took her on she was shipping 45,000 copies in hardcover in the U.S. and 7,000 copies in the U.K. Some of her recent books have shipped in excess of one million copies. With Mr. Gottlieb's guidance she went from a genre author to the top of the New York Times hardcover bestseller list as well as the London Times bestseller's list.
