Alex Glass

Alex started Glass Literary Management in 2015 after an eighteen-year career in book publishing. Alex has had the privilege of representing debut novelists and memoirists along with journalists, celebrities, professional athletes, and nationally renowned experts. He became a literary agent because he wanted to give talented creative writers a platform to develop their craft and reach the widest possible audience, and his novelist clients writing for adults and children are international bestsellers and have won awards such as the PEN/O’Henry, the Edgar, the Newbery, NEA Fellowships, and been finalists for the National Book Awards. Along the way, he has been able to follow his interests into other areas of publishing, and his client list includes bestselling authors in health and wellness, parenting, popular science and psychology, business, sports, narrative nonfiction, memoir, celebrity, and popular culture. His books have been published in over forty languages around the world, and several have become movies and television shows. Alex has been interviewed and quoted in publications like Publisher’s Weekly, the Wall Street Journal, Kirkus Reviews, and Entertainment Weekly. He is a graduate of the Johns Hopkins University and the MFA program at American University. He lives in the New York City suburbs with his wife, Sarah, a book editor, and their three daughters.
