The agency is not currently looking to bring on new team members, and we do not offer internships at this time. We typically post new job opportunities on industry job boards (Publishers Marketplace, Publishers Weekly, etc.) and LinkedIn, but will often shout out new job postings on our Instagram page as well, so you can follow us there for the latest.

Information about how to get in touch with our agents and submit your work for consideration is available on our Submissions page. Visit our Team page to review our agents’ profiles.

Root Literary cannot consider manuscripts written with the use of artificial intelligence, either in whole or in part. This includes the use of AI to revise original work. A manuscript written with the use of artificial intelligence may not be considered copyrightable under U.S. law, which impedes our ability to secure deals on a client’s behalf. 

Root Literary will never upload a manuscript to an AI detection program without an author’s prior written consent.

We work with Baror International to secure foreign/translation rights for our clients. Please be in touch directly with Heather Baror-Shapiro at Baror International at heather@barorint.com

There are multiple current online scams impersonating Root Literary agents. Agency emails will always be sent from an @rootliterary.com‍ domain. If you are unsure about the authenticity of an email, please double-check the sender’s address, or reach out to the agency for verification using the contact form above. Our agents work on commission only. They will never charge a potential client a reading fee or ask for a direct payment from an author of any kind in exchange for representation or agency services.
