Grace Demyan is a literary agent with Harvey Klinger Literary.

Grace joined the Harvey Klinger Literary Agency in 2025, where she is thrilled to begin building a list as an associate agent. She is interested in a wide range of fiction and always on the lookout for underrepresented authors. In general, she loves quirky-off beat storytelling that can deliver heartfelt and thoughtful messaging, characters with richly developed relationships, and stories that center around a fantastical or often-overlooked setting. A graduate of Tufts University and the Tulane University School of Law, Grace currently lives outside of Washington, DC.
