Chip MacGregor
One day when he was in first grade, Chip hurried home and announced to his mother, "When I grow up, I’m going to be a book guy!" And he has been a book guy—from high school literary magazine to bestselling books, from conference speaker to an unbeatable track record of representing renowned writers. Creating MacGregor Literary was a natural step for a book guy.
Chip has a comprehensive knowledge of the industry—from book development to writing, acquisition to production, marketing to sales. He has secured more than 1,000 book deals for authors with all of the major publishers in both CBA and ABA, including Zondervan, Thomas Nelson, Integrity, Baker, Tyndale, Broadman & Holman, Crossway, Multnomah, Revell, Harvest House, Waterbrook, NavPress, Cook, Howard, Random House, Ballantine, Crown, Doubleday, Broadway, Simon & Schuster, Pocket Books, Fireside, Warner Book Group, HarperCollins, Avon, Viking, Penguin, Berkley, and Jossey-Bass, among others.

After a few years learning the craft, pitching article ideas to magazine editors, and meeting deadlines, Sandra began to map out a career in publishing.

At the time, Christian fiction titles were just beginning to emerge; in fact Sandra remembers when the Christian fiction section fit on one shelf of the local Christian bookstore.
