Shar Smiley is with The Gotham Group. She is best known for negotiating the studio deal with Fox for Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, which David Fincher directed with Ben Affleck, and for selling the Cheryl Strayed memoir Wild, which Reese Witherspoon starred in. She also negotiated deals for Ransom Riggs’ Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children which Tim Burton directed, and Pride, Prejudice And Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith, which Burr Steersl directed in England. She also brokered the Lauren Weisberger book /The Devil Wears Prada.' Smiley’s strength is selling source material for film and television, but she's always looking for the next big book.
