Ava Lauren Grayson is a literary agent based in Los Angeles who joined Lowenstein Associates in 2026. She was previously as an editor at Quill and Flame Publishing House for several years, following an internship supporting the literary department at Echo Lake Entertainment.
Ava is a modern romantic with a taste for all things magical and dramatic. She is passionate about reading romantic yearning, empowering female heroines, and coming-of-age stories, and is actively building her list in the literary fiction, horror, romantasy, gothic, YA, genre-blends, romance, fantasy, and narrative nonfiction spaces. Ava reads widely and is willing to consider projects in any genre as long as the writing is compelling and immersive. She is seeking debut authors, own stories, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ stories.
She is also an author and award-winning director with a background in theater, photography, and fashion. Recently awarded the Denis Diderot Grant for the Château d’Orquevaux Writers Residency, Ava has had short stories published with Azala Press, Dragon Bone Publishing, Havok Publishing, and more. Her debut YA space-fantasy duology THE STARGAZERS is to be published in 2026/2027 by Quill and Flame. Through hip librarian productions, Ava creates book trailers and other social media content for authors. When she’s not working, you can probably find Ava rewatching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, sitting at a French cafe, or reading a book with her cat.
