Dana Murphy is a literary agent at The Book Group. After studying critical film theory and sociology at New York University, Dana began her literary career assisting Brettne Bloom and Elisabeth Weed.  In 2015, The Book Group was founded, and Dana began building her own list alongside that team.

Dana is hungry for writing that is immersive and surprising, with a voice so distinct it makes her cancel plans and read through meals. She is attracted to upmarket and literary fiction for both adults and young adults, and smart narrative nonfiction/essay collections about pop culture, social issues, science, feminism, race, gender, film and television, music, comedy, religion, and place. Across genre, she is interested in finding marginalized voices that speak to the radical change and compassion readers are searching for, and books that are equally tenderhearted and self-aware.

Dana’s client list includes literary bestseller Danya Kukafka and celebrated culture writers Kelsey McKinney, Blythe Roberson, Sarah Marshall, and Claire Comstock-Gay (Madame Clairevoyant at The Cut).

). Fèt e leve sou Long Island, Dana te viv nan New York City pandan dis ane anvan li te deplase nan Philadelphia de zan de sa. Depi lè sa a, li fin adapte nèt ak yon rejim alimantè ki baze sou cheesesteak epi li aksepte Gritty kòm pi gwo dye nan kè li.

Frè konsiltasyon pou maniskri yo se pa frè pou lekti epi yo pa ale jwenn ajan an; okontrè, yo sèvi pou sipòte pwogram ak inisyativ Fwa Liv Miami.  Fair.
