About Books & Such

About Books & Such

Janet Kobobel Grant founded Books & Such Literary Management in 1996. From the onset, the agency broke new ground, being one of the first agencies to serve the Christian market—and the first agency for that market headed by a woman. The agency’s tagline, Distinguishing Literature, conveys the spirit of the group of six agents. We focus on high-quality writing and manuscripts that make important contributions to society’s ongoing conversation.

We give more than lip service to the idea that an agent’s work is not done when the contract is signed. Our engagement in the publishing process continues through each step of the way, including providing input on titles, cover designs, and marketing plans. For as long as the book remains in print, we remain engaged in its welfare.

We represent 270 clients, and our combined knowledge of the publishing industry spans more than 100 years. For some of our clients’ achievements, see Author News.

You can read other ways in which we have served our clients in our more than twenty years by checking out what they say about us below and on each agent’s individual page.

Client Testimonials

Kathi Lipp

"The Books & Such team is the gold standard in the industry--the team that other authors want to be on. Not only do they have keen insight into the current trends in publishing, but they also know where it is heading. And with B&S, I get the combined wisdom of a team of agents advocating on my behalf, not just my agent. Not only has this team spent time and energy developing my writing but also my entire ministry."

Kathi Lipp, popular speaker and best-selling author whose books include The Husband Project and The Get-Yourself-Organized Project
