MacGregor Literary- the agency was founded by Chip MacGregor in August 2006. Chip has been a publisher with Time-Warner, a senior editor with a couple of houses, and had worked at another literary agency for several years before deciding to create his own company. From the first day, he wanted the company to help authors think strategically about their careers, whether that was in the type of story, the choice of publisher and venue, or simply the direction the author wanted to move in his or her art.Now ten years old, the agency has represented nearly a thousand books, and Chip’s blog is read regularly by people throughout the industry. And, just as when we began, we’re always on the lookout for books that make a difference.

When Chip was in first grade, Chip hurried home one day and announced to his mother, “When I grow up, I’m going to be a book guy!” He clearly could see the future —from high school literary magazine editor to writing bestselling books, from speaking at writing and publishing conferences to representing renowned writers, Chip MacGregor is a book guy.

Chip has presented workshops at more than 200 publishing conferences, spoken at colleges and universities, and is frequently invited to speak to writers groups around the country on the topics of writing and publishing. He earned his BS with High Honors at Portland State University, earned an MA with Honors from Biola University, and did his doctoral work at the University of Oregon in Policy and Management, focusing on organizational development. He later did a post-doctoral semester at Oxford University. Chip has been written up in numerous writing and publishing related magazines and newsletters, is frequently asked for his opinions on trends in the publishing industry, and his blog is regularly on the list of Writers Digest’s “101 Best Websites for Writers.”
