Holly Root, Waxman Literary Agency 

“I’ve always been drawn to a fresh, vibrant voice, whether it’s a new author winning me over for the first time or a beloved favorite taking me away again. As an agent, I’m able to engage with a project from that very first moment when it really comes alive. The process of partnering with authors to guide their work to publication and beyond is in itself a great reward.

Some of my ‘must-read’ novelists are Marian Keyes, Emily Giffin, MaryJanice Davidson, Erin McCarthy, Gabrielle Zevin, Sarah Dessen, Scott Westerfeld, and John Connolly.”

Holly Root began her publishing career as an editor in Nashville, TN before coming to New York and joining the William Morris Agency’s agent trainee program. She then moved to Trident Media Group, where she sold audio rights for the agency’s clients, including a number of New York Times bestselling authors, before joining The Waxman Literary Agency to represent her own list of authors.
