Agent month still isn’t over, and we have one last amazing agent guest blog to bring you on February 27th. Holly Root is a literary agent at Waxman Literary Agency who represents authors of commercial fiction and nonfiction. She began her publishing career 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 worked as audio rights agent, before joining Waxman Literary Agency to represent her own list of authors. Her interests include commercial women’s fiction, historical and contemporary romance, YA and middle-grade fiction, and on the nonfiction side, compelling narrative nonfiction, quirky pop culture books, and prescriptive projects that make her want to overhaul her life—in a good way.
Then on Saturday, 1 February, we’re thrilled to have Kathleen O’Reilly as our guest blogger. Kathleen has done nothing extraordinary in comparison to other author bios. She is not a former CIA agent, nor has she ever been President of the United States (nor slept with him, either). She graduated from Texas A&M in 1987, which her parents do consider extraordinary and has been married for 17 years, but not to Mick Jagger, nor Justin Timberlake. No, she merely lives with her husband and two kids in New York, and not even Manhattan, just your typical suburb. Due to the mundaneness in her life, she has chosen to write fiction, which seems best, all things considered.
