True Literary
​
True Literary Agency is a full-service boutique agency founded by Literary Agent and NYT Bestselling Author Lara Love Hardin.
True Literary represents nonfiction authors primarily, but will consider select fiction as well as short-form writing with the potential for film and TV adaptation.
​
From book conception to editorial development to writing to selling, Lara works closely with the authors she represents and invests a great deal of personal care and attention and expertise through every stage of the process.
Having been a collaborative writer for 14 nonfiction books, including 6 New York Times bestsellers and Oprah Book Club picks in 2018 and 2024, Lara understands how to tell a story and create books so that they resonate with a wide audience.

Mission Driven Agenting
At True Literary our mission is to help create books and content that entertains, transforms, provokes, and inspires (not necessarily in that order).
We believe in stories and ideas that make us think, shift perspective, and ultimately change lives.
The end goal is always impact but the journey is about relationships.
So send us your heart-wrenching memoirs or your rollicking satires, your transformative big ideas or your literary masterpieces.
We’re just as passionate about finding and amplifying new voices and first time authors as we are about developing the careers of experienced authors.
Whether it’s literary fiction or big ideas, prescriptions for a better life or extraordinary stories from ordinary people, it all matters.
What's True Matters.
You Matter.
