Grace Milusich is a literary agent with Looking Glass Literary & Media. She is an associate agent and Natalie Lakosil’s marketing and publicity assistant. Grace has worked with Natalie in various roles for roughly eight years. After graduating from the National University of Galway with a MasterÕs degree in Publishing, Grace worked in various editorial and marketing roles for publishing houses all across Ireland. When she realized her favorite part of the publishing process was working directly with authors, helping them to reach their fullest potential, she began to work more closely with Natalie.

Born and raised in New York, Grace used her international perspective on the publishing industry to join Natalie at Irene Goodman Literary Agency as a Junior Agent and marketing assistant. Her experience at publishing houses gives her valuable insight into what editors are looking for. Grace is a member of the AALA and SCBWI. During her free time, Grace enjoys listening to Ethel CainÕs discography on repeat, running, and baking anything that involves cinnamon.

Grace is interested in pursuing both YA and adult pieces (with a particular interest in pieces that narrow the gap between YA and adult). She is passionate about twisty fantasy, thrillers, and contemporary fiction featuring powerful/challenging themes. She would also like to see stories exploring religious trauma, unputdownable pacing, gothic or mysterious narratives, and complex characters. Grace is also a lover of the found family trope in all its forms. Grace is hoping to work on romantasy projects that feature BIPOC protagonists, and she is a sucker for morally grey or unlikeable characters too!
