Lauren Marcus

Senior Literary Agent

Lauren Marcus specializes in literary fiction and narrative nonfiction that illuminates overlooked histories, cultures, and personal experiences.

She is particularly drawn to ambitious novels with geographic breadth and nonfiction that combines rigorous research with compelling storytelling.

Before joining Atlas, Lauren spent more than a decade working in editorial departments at leading publishers, where she developed a reputation for precise advice and a keen eye for distinctive, award-winning voices.

She believes the strongest books continue revealing themselves long after the final page.
