Hi and Welcome

Lynn Johnston Literary is, well, me, a literary agent in New York City representing nonfiction.

I am proud to represent books that have been called "firebreathing" and "righteous" by the New York Times, "exuberant" by O: The Oprah Magazine and "a godsend" by Publishers Weekly.  My list, though small-by-design, features bestsellers (New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Business Week), a finalist for the Washington Post's best nonfiction book of the year, and honors from the International Association of Culinary Professionals Cookbook Award and Books for a Better Life Award.

From Pulitzer-winning journalists and international stylemakers to school teachers, bloggers and even a kazoo musician, my clients do not fit a single mold. If you're looking for an agent, please read my submission guidelines.

Please check out my newest releases, as well as a selection of representative projects from the backlist. For information about my latest deals, book reviews and press coverage, please go to the news page.

For foreign rights inquiries, please email me.
