Veritas is a full-service literary agency specializing in select literary and contemporary fiction and nonfiction. Founded on the premise that literature is one of the best carriers of truth—both emotional and literal—in the world today, the agency cultivates strong, innovative books that extend the boundaries of thought and expression.
With active contacts in film, media and foreign markets, we actively pursue the channels that enable a title to reach its widest audience and realize its full potential. Veritas maintains the structure and spirit of old school literary agencies, where a close relationship between author and agent continued through all stages of a writer’s career. By maintaining a selective, manageable list we can ensure that every author and title receives enough energy and resources. Accessibility is always a priority.
Founder Katherine Boyle
attended Stanford and Berkeley and worked at a variety of Bay
Area independent publishers and literary agencies before
establishing Veritas in 1995. A member of the AAR and the
Authors Guild, she is an inveterate champion of the written
word and hopelessly addicted to the hundreds of books lining
her shelves.
