Founded in 1971 by the late Jane Jordan Browne and located in Chicago, Browne & Miller Literary Associates is a dynamic independent agency specializing in full-service representation of a select clientele. Our authors write and publish in most genres of commercial adult fiction and non-fiction; we also actively handle high quality YA and middle grade fiction.

Overall, our tastes are broad and eclectic and we value exceptional writing and very fine storytelling above all else.

At present, we are most interested in literary/commercial women's fiction, women's historical fiction, literary-leaning crime fiction, Amish fiction, romance, sophisticated and gritty romantic suspense, thought-provoking, emotional contemporary women's stories that address “hot button” issues. We are also interested in time travel stories; Christian/inspirational fiction by established authors; a broad array of non-fiction by nationally-recognized author/experts. Here's our current wish list:

1. A sweeping and totally transporting epic romance a la The Thorn Birds
2. Substantive women’s historical fiction - recent periods (like The Help, which we LOVED!!) as well as long ago eras. We love Americana, also English history, but we are definitely open to other settings and time periods.
3. A complex, twisty literary-leaning psychological thriller/crime novel. We love a dark story really well done. Think Tana French. Or Gillian Flynn.
4.Contemporary "coming of age" stories that explore the emotional pitfalls of growing up and which display an authentic, memorable voice
5. Timely non-fiction projects by well-qualified author-experts in a variety of subject areas including biography, cookbooks, history, memoir, prescriptive how-to, self-help, love/dating/relationships, music, pop culture, popular reference, psychology, health, film/media, and sports.

Browne & Miller is not accepting new children's book authors and we do not represent horror, sci fi or fantasy novels, poetry, short stories, original screenplays, or software
