Andy Ross – Editor

I am a literary agent representing a wide range of fiction and nonfiction. My clients have included Daniel Ellsberg, Fritjof Capra, Tawni Laurie Fox,Leonard Shlain, Susan Griffin, Jeff Arch, and Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson. In addition to agenting, I work as a freelance editor, specializing in literary, commercial, and YA fiction, as well as narrative nonfiction. I offer developmental editing of full manuscripts, as well as editorial consultation and assessment of shorter works.

I also provide guidance on book proposals, query letters, and the publishing process. I’m the author of The Literary Agent’s Guide to Writing a Nonfiction Book Proposal and have taught at numerous writers conferences and workshops nationwide. With extensive experience submitting projects to major publishers, I help writers shape their work with an insider’s understanding of how acquisition decisions are made.
