Agent Bio

Regina Ryan founded her independent literary agency 40 years ago.

Prior to that, she served as editor-in-chief of Macmillan Adult Books, becoming the first woman ever to hold that position in a major hardcover publishing house.

Before her tenure at Macmillan, she was an editor at Alfred A Knopf.

Her strong editorial background, spanning roles as an editor and book producer, helps her authors develop projects in the most salable way.

Her many years of experience in the business and extensive contacts allow her to place books with the best houses for specific projects.
