01 / Editorial
Develop the strongest version of the work.
Thoughtful, market-aware editorial guidance that protects the author's voice rather than sanding it away.
Literary representation for extraordinary stories
Serious advocacy.
Unforgettable books.
Three Gremlins Literary is a boutique agency built for authors with distinctive voices, ambitious ideas, and work that deserves a fiercely thoughtful advocate in its corner.
The agency
Professional where it matters. Human everywhere else.
Publishing is a business, but books begin as something personal. We approach both sides with equal respect: rigorous strategy, candid communication, and a long-term view of an author's career.
02 / Strategy
Put the right manuscript in the right room.
Targeted submission strategy, clear positioning, and an eye toward editors and imprints where the work can genuinely thrive.
03 / Advocacy
Build a career, not just a book deal.
Negotiation, rights guidance, and steady representation designed around the author's long-term creative and commercial interests.
We like books with teeth, heart, intelligence, and a reason to exist.
The name may have gremlins in it.
The representation does not.
We take contracts, careers,
communication, and our responsibility
to authors seriously.
The whimsy stays in the margins.
