Welcome to BBH Literary.

We secure book contracts. We publicize books. We develop manuscripts.

We’re Laura Bardolph and David Bratt. We founded BBH Literary because we know how hard it is to get attention in the publishing world—for your book idea, for your proposal, for your manuscript, for your published book. We’re here to help.

Publishing is a relationship business. In our decades of experience in the industry, we have formed relationships with authors, fellow publishing professionals, and journalists. We know how to navigate the complicated world of publishing to help you succeed.

We’ve worked with authors and industry professionals through every step of the publishing process—and we’re ready to put our experience to work for you.
