The Story Behind The Enlightened Quill Agency
Barbara Lezynski brings a unique blend of professional expertise, creative passion, and spiritual commitment to her role as founder of The Enlightened Quill Agency.
She began her career in New York City, where her final corporate role was assisting a major medical company in developing and upgrading its website. During that time, she also earned a master’s degree in finance from Columbia University. After leaving the corporate world, her path took a creative turn: she launched her own small press — Babs & Rascal Publishing — and eventually stepped fully into the world of books as a literary agent.
Barbara’s commitment to spiritual awakening is deeply personal. As a certified coach in the spiritual awakening movement, she believes one of the most powerful ways to help children entering our world is to help the adults around them wake up spiritually. That vision is at the heart of the agency: supporting enlightened voices whose stories can spark transformation.
Her activities outside of publishing reflect the same vitality and dedication. She has lived an active and adventurous life — winning national pro-am ballroom dance contests, riding show horses (including her jumper Sherman), and taking flying lessons at the small airport near her home. She brings that same joy and discipline to every endeavor.
Today, Barbara and her husband make their home in southern Oregon, where she continues her mission of guiding transformative voices into the world.
