Holly Root followed her love of reading to a profession that she had no clue existed. Her career in publishing began just after college when she became an editor in her hometown of Nashville, Tenn. Although she enjoyed editing, a move to New York prompted Holly to make a career “readjustment,” and she switched over to the agency side of publishing.
Today as an agent for Waxman Literary Agency Holly spends her days discovering new worlds, new authors and managing a client list of her own. She represents authors and helps them with every step of the publishing path from the first query letter to the final published book.
And thanks to following her initial instinct and “readjusting” her career, Holly has been able to focus on doing what she loves: read, read and read some more.
