Tanya McKinnon

Tanya McKinnon is the founder of McKinnon Literary where she represents a diverse roster of clients that include New York Times bestsellers, National Book Award, Pulitzer Prize, and Lambda winners. She works closely with nonfiction writers, graphic novelists, academics, public intellectuals, and award-children's book writers. She specializes in non-fiction that addresses cultural issues as well as gender, race, class, ethnicity, and sexuality. She is most drawn to work that pushes political and cultural boundaries. This can be in categories such as history, sociology, psychology, anthropology, medicine, cultural criticism, memoir, popular culture, journalism, and sheer whimsy. She looks for story-driven fiction that takes us into the lives of complicated and deeply human characters. She has a particular interest in politically progressive work, feminist work, Latinx work, and African-American work.
