McKinnon Literary is dedicated to helping authors thrive and change the world through their work.
About Mckinnon Literary
Established in 2014, McKinnon Literary is a boutique agency with the goal of supporting writers throughout their careers. Representing New York Times bestsellers and award-winners, we work with both first-time writers and established authors. We specialize in editing and grooming book proposals to help authors translate their best ideas to the marketplace. Once our books are under contract, we remain active throughout the life of the book, helping clients to navigate the editorial and marketing process, effectively promote and publicize their work, and guiding them to choose and develop future projects. Beyond the book itself, we work with established co-agents to represent film and television rights, subsidiary rights, and translation rights throughout the world.
“Books are meat and medicine
and flame and flight and flower
steel, stitch, cloud and clout,
and drumbeats on the air.”
