 |
The Waxman Literary Agency is a premier, development-oriented agency with more than a quarter century of publishing experience. Our strength lies in our ability to match authors with ideas and to connect them with the best possible publisher for their book. We have been associated with numerous bestsellers, and our clients include accomplished journalists, experts in their fields, celebrities, Internet legends, and first-time writers with an exceptional story or message to share.
As a literary agent I believe in representing works that carve out new territory and authors that are committed to creating books that succeed in the marketplace. I specialize in working with authors who have established a following on the Internet, athletes, journalists, and first-time writers who are bound for glory. I love narrative non-fiction that pushes the envelope and finds new audiences, talented fiction that is a blast to read, and anything written by a motivated, confident, unapologetic author with a story to tell.
