ROSLYN TARG

Roz was my agent for 25 years. She was extraordinary. She took a chance on me when I was a senior in college and had just one Mademoiselle Magazine’s literary prize. She told me, many times, that her authors were her children. I always felt loved and nurtured by her. She was supportive and honest in her assessments of my work and was always a fierce warrior for my literary rights.
Meetings with Roz were always joyous events, one quarter business and three quarters fantastic stories,...

While I attended the HS of Art and Design in the 70s I was hired to do filing. It was my first job and she was wonderful. It gave me a sense of responsibility and a way to make money after school. I will always remember her fondly.

Roz was one of the last of the great New York literary agents: totally committed to writing and her authors. Over the more than 25 years she represented me, she was far more than just my agent. She was one of my dearest friends. I will deeply miss her, literature will miss her, writers whom she served will always be grateful for what she did for us.
