We represent authors pursuing traditional publishing, and we market books for traditionally published, self-published and hybrid-published authors. Whether you need literary representation, a publicity or marketing campaign, or simply a coach to help you figure out where to start, we are here for you. Our ears and eyes are open to your needs.

    Kelly Lobato
  • “Blythe is not only a successful agent who knows the industry well, but also a dedicated Christ follower committed to advancing God’s kingdom and glory. She has learned to balance working for the Lord and with the Lord while helping great books find in their perfect fit in the ever-changing landscape of publishing.”
    Erin Greneaux
  • “Blythe sees exactly what an author like me can do—then pushes me past what I thought was my best. And she negotiates like someone who’s sat in every seat at the table. She knows what the author needs and what the [publishing] house needs, and she has a gift for finding the deal where everybody walks away winning. Doors that stay shut for most writers just open when Blythe’s name is on them. Best of all, she lets you write and relax. She handles the thorny stuff so I can pour everything into the only thing that matters: making the book great.”
    Jonathan Hoover
  • “I like to think of my agent Stephanie Alton as my career sherpa, helping me make decisions, prompting, challenging, and helping me grow as an author. Stephanie is always full of great ideas and is willing to go the extra mile consistently and joyfully. I’ve had other agents in my career journey, but I can honestly say that Stephanie is the best because we just plain click. The Blythe Daniel Agency is home for me!”
    Linda Kozar
  • “I so appreciate Blythe’s ability to think creatively about the publishing process. When others seem restrained by the rules of the industry, Blythe believes in me as an author enough to try new things. That’s the type of person I want to work with.”
    Jonathan Malm
  • “I’ve been writing books for more than 15 years. When I connected with The Blythe Daniel Agency, it took my writing to a whole new level. Not only did the opportunities increase–but the BDA team helped me to become a more accomplished author.”
    Tim Stevens
  • “As a first-time author, finding the right agent felt overwhelming, but Stephanie Alton helped transform my book proposal into something far stronger than I could have created on my own. She struck the perfect balance between encouragement and challenge, knowing when to push me deeper and when to remind me to trust my voice. Not only did she help me craft a proposal that attracted one of my dream publishers, but she also made me a better writer in the process. I am incredibly grateful for her partnership, expertise, and belief in my work.”
