ABOUT THE DOUG GRAD LITERARY AGENCY, INC.
Welcome to the website of the Doug Grad Literary Agency, Inc. The agency opened for business in 2008, after Doug had spent the previous twenty-two years as a Senior Editor at four major New York publishing houses. Throughout his career, Doug was always an author's advocate--the kind of editor authors wanted to work with again and again because of his keen eye, integrity, and talent for developing projects. He was also a skillful negotiator, sometimes to the chagrin of literary agents. Now, he's excited to bring those skills and experiences to the other side of the table, and to offer publishers the kind of high-quality fiction and nonfiction that he himself was proud to publish.
