Agent Bio

As a graduate of Vanderbilt University and The Columbia Publishing Course, Kristy Hunter began her publishing career in New York City—first as an editorial intern at Bloomsbury Children’s Books and then as a book publicist at Grove/Atlantic and Random House Children’s Books.

When she moved to the agenting side of the industry, she was closely mentored by Deidre Knight, president and founder of The Knight Agency.

As an agent, Kristy enjoys being able to bring a unique perspective thanks to her diverse publishing background and over 15 years of industry experience.

Kristy loves working with authors at any point in their career, and she is thrilled to represent award-winning writers and New York Times bestsellers.

When Kristy is not curled up with a good (strong) cup of coffee and a book, she enjoys chasing after her two boys and hiking with her dog.
