We have worked with some incredible people over the years and are so grateful for their support.
“Gretchen Koss is a powerhouse -- always on the hunt for a new position, a new outlet, a new strategy...all the while mining her incredibly deep list of media contacts to provide the very best options for authors when marketing their books. I cannot recommend her enough and will never want to launch a book without her.”
Julie ClarkNew York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight, The Lies I Tell and The Ghostwriter
“Tandem Literary is a gift to me and to my work. They approach their work with the kind of attention and care that feels increasingly rare in today’s publicity and marketing world. They understand the publishing world from the inside out, but what makes them truly exceptional is the creative heart they bring to every campaign they craft. They see both my work and me, the author, clearly, and they work with imagination and generosity of spirit. To work with Tandem is to feel deeply supported, while having some great fun along the way!”
Patti Callahan HenryNew York Times bestselling author
“There is no better publicity and marketing team than Meghan Walker and Gretchen Koss. I've been working with them now for more than 25 years and can't recommend them highly enough.”
Nathaniel PhilbrickNational Book Award-winning, Pulitzer Prize finalist, and New York Times-bestselling author
“Here’s a go-to shop if ever there was one: Gretchen and Meghan are complete pros who bring nearly 70 years experience to the publishing table — but they somehow still bring the energy (and the hearts and souls) of wunderkinds to every campaign.”
Ivan HeldPresident, G.P. Putnam’s Sons
“I have worked with Meg Walker for almost 20 years and regard her as a trusted partner, as well as a fierce advocate for our shared clients — a full member of the publishing team who brings creativity, innovation, elbow grease, and unfailing good cheer to every campaign.”

“Tandem Literary is the Swiss Army Knife of book promotion. Meg has been my secret weapon for the past 17 years and hopefully will be for the next 17—or until they pry the pen out of my cold dead hands. She has so many strengths—whether it’s her years of experience with major NY trade houses, her contacts, or her incredible organizational skills—but what really sets her apart is her ability to interact seamlessly with in-house marketing and publicity departments, always ensuring we function as one big team. Tandem has been a part of every major decision I’ve made in my publishing career for the past decade and a half. They're indispensable.”
Mary Kay AndrewsNew York Times bestselling author
“Every time I’ve worked with Meghan and Gretchen, I’ve felt in great hands. Their enthusiasm, creativity and unstinting commitment is a support and a balm to any writer in these challenging times for publishing. I can confidently say that their vigorous and comprehensive campaigns have been vital to my career and I’d recommend them to any writer in a heartbeat.”
Megan AbbottNational bestselling author of Dare Me, You Will Know Me, Enter the Woman and El Dorado Drive
“Tandem might mean two, but working with Tandem Literary feels like you’ve got two hundred PR specialists working with you. Nothing falls through the cracks with Gretchen and Meg, and for me, that’s the greatest feeling — I can’t focus on everything. I need to be writing. Like, even right now, I need to stop this sentence and get writing.”
Daniel KrausNational Bestselling author of Whalefall and Angel Down
“Meghan Walker and Gretchen Koss are two of the most impressive talents in publishing. Together they are unbeatable. They bring creativity, dedication, insight, and a welcome dose of humor to every project. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have worked closely with them in the launch and development of Spiegel & Grau, which benefited immensely from their publishing savvy, energy, and innovative thinking.”
