About Me

Hi! I’m Whitney. Before becoming an agent, I worked as an editor at Macmillan for nearly a decade, ending as a senior editor for Tor Teen, Tor, and Forge. I am now an agent with High Line Literary Collective. You can read more about us here! I’m thrilled to partner with clients whose work I love, and am always searching for new, exciting stories.

I have B.A. in English literature, a B.S. in entrepreneurship, and a M.S. in publishing. After a decade in New York City, I live on a farm outside of Cape Town, South Africa, with my winemaker husband. I love to bake (Smitten Kitchen & Half Baked Harvest are my go-to sources), attempt the occasional DIY project, and obsess over design.  

Agenting

I represent middle grade, young adult, and adult fiction across all genres, with an emphasis on historical, science fiction & fantasy, romance, and contemporary fiction. I'm actively looking for new and fresh takes on classic tropes, no matter the genre, as well as non-fiction submissions in the areas of design, cooking, and fashion.

***I am closed to queries from 11/1 through the end of 2023, and will reopen in January 2024***
