“I love working with creators to form a roadmap for the rest of their career. Talking to people with projects that are ambitious, strange, personal, and just outrageously fun is the spark that keeps me going. I'm here to be their advocate and make sure they can keep writing for years and years to come.”
Jasmine Brown
Assistant to Taylor Haggerty
“I feel incredibly fortunate to have a front-row seat to authors’ journeys and to be an early cheerleader of their work. I love playing matchmaker with readers and gravitate toward stories that make me swoon, connect with others, and ultimately, make reality fade away.”
Samantha Fabien
Agent
“I live for the rollercoaster of emotions that characters and stories can take me on. Whether I’m swooning or gasping, I want to feel strongly enough about a project that I desperately need to share it with the world.”
Melanie Figueroa
Agent
“I want to work with the kind of stories that both create and sustain life-long readers—books that make me sigh with contentment, learn something new, or take delight in the unexpected. Those stories stay with you, and they're a gift I want to help give readers by lifting up the voices of talented and hard-working creatives.”
Gabrielle Greenstein
Licensing Agent
“There’s nothing better than seeing the worlds readers love come to life off of the page. From film and tv to merchandise, pairing our clients with the right partners who know their work inside and out will always be the best part of the job.”
Taylor Haggerty
Agent
"Everyone in this business is in it because they love to read, but agenting gives me a professionally sanctioned opportunity to shout from the rooftops about the books I love. Sharing my authors' work with editors, and then readers, is a joy, and I'm always looking for the next project to champion."

Alyssa Maltese
Agent & Assistant to Holly Root
“Getting to be an early champion for authors’ work is a huge privilege, and a responsibility for which I am deeply grateful. I’m excited to find and uplift books that you can’t put down, books that surprise you, books that make you think, and, above all else, books that help people.”
Molly O’Neill
Agent
"If I can visualize exactly how to form a web of connections around a book and its creator while I’m reading an early draft, then it’s a fantastic signal that I also know how to help that author or artist build their way into a meaningful, and potentially lucrative, career."
Jessica Saint Jean
“I specialize in representing visual storytellers with a confident, unique, and striking artistic voice – a signature style we can build into a brand that's instantly recognizable to publishers commissioning illustrators, and to consumers looking for beautiful books.”
Holly Root
Agent
"Reading as much as you do in this job, it's easy to become overly analytical. My favorite books are the ones so assured in their execution that the only input my critical mind can muster is 'That was fun. How soon can we tell everyone we know about it?' I'm delighted to be in a position of perpetual discovery."
