"Picking an agent is a weighty decision but working with Rachel McMillan set me at ease. She's such a wealth of knowledge and truly a kindhearted soul. I'm thankful for our working relationship and all she does to help my writing career thrive.” Toni Shiloh, bestselling author

“Having Rachel McMillan for an agent is like having that one person who hits a trifecta of expertise. Because she’s a reader, she knows what books are finding life out in the market. Because she’s such a champion of authors, she has the ear and attention of editors across the board. And because she’s a woman of passion and conviction, she’ll tell her authors the hard truths even while helping them find the gem within the rough. Nobody knows the world of CBA fiction better than Rachel, making her uniquely qualified to be the perfect literary liaison.” - Allison Pittman, bestselling author

"Rachel’s understanding of the publishing space is only matched by her passion for it. She’s the perfect mix of real-world pragmatism and indefatigable excitement. Rachel works hard and smart for her clients, as well, she’s a constant source of encouragement for writers." --Kimberly Duffy
