Dean Marrow began representing authors as a literary agent in 2026. Marrow Creative was founded earlier, in 2007, as a book publishing coaching and consulting practice; after nearly two decades developing manuscripts one at a time, Dean made the move from coaching writers to representing them. To be clear about the timeline: the agency's literary representation dates to 2026, while its book coaching and consulting practice dates to 2007.
The agency works on commission only — there is no fee to submit and no cost to be represented. Dean reads every submission himself and takes on only a handful of writers a year, across literary and upmarket fiction, narrative nonfiction and memoir, and original work for the screen.
Marrow Creative is a member of ADALI (Associazione degli Agenti Letterari Italiani), the Association of Authors' Agents (AAA), the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi), and the Book Industry Study Group (BISG). Dean Marrow is listed on Publishers Marketplace.
Current representation includes the debut memoir Hold Me Close to Your Heart by Sara den Bok, with world rights available. Explore the agency: The List, The Shelf, About Dean Marrow, Get Represented, News, Resources, and Calendar.
