About Me
Lynn Johnston Literary is, well, me, a literary agent in New York City representing mostly nonfiction and a small selection of fiction. Since 2001, I have represented books called "firebreathing" and "righteous" by the New York Times, "exuberant" by O: The Oprah Magazine and "a godsend" by Publishers Weekly.
My small but mighty list includes bestsellers (New York Times, Wall Street Journal and others), winner of the International Association of Culinary Professionals Cookbook Award, PEN finalist, Books for a Better Life Award finalist and numerous "best of year" nominees, including or the Atlantic Monthly's best food book and the Washington Post's best nonfiction. I have an MBA and a BA in Philosophy. Before publishing, I worked in management consulting and marketing and have served on the board or staff of notable non-profit organizations, such as Dress for Success, Bottomless Closet and the American Bar Association. I currently serve on the advisory board of the Woodstock Book Fest. I came to live and work in New York City by way of Saigon where I was born, Bangkok, Dunedin (Florida), Austin, Dallas and Chicago. The best way to reach me is by email at lynnjohnstonlit at gmail dot com. Foreign Rights
