History
Trident Media group was co-founded in September, 2000 by Robert Gottlieb and Dan Strone, two literary agents and former senior executives of William Morris Agency from New York. According to Variety Magazine, in the autumn of 2002, the Trident Media Group literary agency merged with the Ellen Levine Literary Agency (established in 1980) and expanded its presence in the new market niche including literary fiction, commercial fiction and nonfiction.

In April, 2010, Trident Media Group started an experimental project with Vook to create vooks or digital books of mixed-media form that blends video, text, images and social streams in one context. The project discontinued since Vook formally ceased to exist in 2017. In 2011, TMG launched an Ebook division which allowed its authors to have optional access to digital media platforms such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc.

As of April, 2020, TMG had several departments including a Foreign Rights Department, Digital Media & Marketing (2011), Book to TV & Film Department and more.
