Secret Agent Revealed: Taylor Haggerty


Huge thanks and generous applause for this month's Secret Agent, Taylor Haggerty of the Waxman Leavell Agency.

Bio: 

Taylor Haggerty graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and worked in the editorial, production, and foreign rights departments of several publishers while completing a master’s degree from Emerson College’s Publishing and Writing program. She worked at the Gersh Agency before joining Waxman Leavell in 2013.

What Taylor would really love to find right now: 

"On the YA front I'm looking for historical fantasy, friendship stories with tons of heart, and contemporaries with unique settings outside the halls of a typical high school. On the historical fiction side of things, I'm looking for novels with compelling concepts and great commercial hooks. I particularly love reading about complex, influential female characters, and characters with unique perspectives on major historical figures or events."

Winners forthcoming!
