ANDY ROSS
Andy Ross opened his literary agency in 2008. Prior to that, he was the owner of the legendary Cody’s Books in Berkeley for 30 years. During that time, he sold more than 10 million books and hosted over 5000 events for some of the world’s greatest authors. Andy’s agency represents books in a wide range of non-fiction genres including: narrative non-fiction, science, journalism, history, popular culture, and current events. They also represent literary, commercial, historical, crime, upmarket women’s fiction, and YA fiction. For non-fiction he looks for writing with a strong voice, robust story arc, and books that tell a big story about culture and society by authors with the authority to write about their subject. In fiction, he likes stories about real people in the real world. Andy also works as a freelance editor.

Have you guys moved to Hawaii? Where is the puppy? Can I move there too?

[@TheBookDoctors]

Ha! We were at a conference there. Sadly, we still live in freezing NJ. The puppy was at home during these videos. In fact, he ate his entire container of antibiotics one night. Thankfully, Sara Gruen, the author of Water for Elephants was at the conference. Her daughter-in-law is a vet and we were able to call her and find out if he needed to go to the ER or not. How lucky was that?!
