 ABOUT THE AGENT: Andrea Blatt is now an agent at Root Literary. Andrea represents adult fiction and nonfiction. Across categories, she's looking for accessible, page-turning stories that she can't put down and that makes her feel, tackle the issues at the heart of being human, or reveal something about our world and how people create meaning within it. Andrea is proud to represent books that are New York Times bestsellers, that have been longlisted for the National Book Award, that have been translated around the world, and that have brought people joy. ANDREA IS SEEKING: In fiction, Andrea is excited by an eye-catching hook, satisfying plot, and memorable, fully-realized characters. That can take the form of an excellent novel you want to discuss with your book club, a family saga that worms its way into your heart, a heart-pounding psychological thriller, or an upmarket love story you can’t stop thinking about, and more. In nonfiction, Andrea loves groundbreaking investigative journalism, narrative history that reflects on our present moment, expert-written, evidence-based health and science that can help us live better, humor that holds up a mirror to our society, and more. Andrea is particularly on the hunt for books that take her out of New York City – bring on the books set in the Midwest or the American South, or in a different country. Books Andrea has loved in the last few years (aside from the rockstars she represents, of course) are FIRST LIE WINS by Ashley Elston, TRUE BIZ by Sara Novic, THE HUSBANDS by Holly Gramazio, TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW by Gabrielle Zevin, ATMOSPHERE by Taylor Jenkins Reid, READY OR NOT by Cara Bastone, WE ARE TOO MANY by Hannah Pittard, FROSTBITE by Nicole Twilley, WHY WE SLEEP by Matthew Walker, and THE ANXIOUS GENERATION by Jonathan Haidt.
