Martha Wydysh is a graduate of Cornell University and the Columbia Publishing Course. Her first job in agenting was as a literary assistant in subsidiary rights at ICM Partners, helping to sell audiobook and serial rights for all clients at the agency. She came to Trident Media Group in 2016 to work as Magazine Rights Associate and Executive Assistant to Ellen Levine and began building her own client list in 2019. She is primarily seeking literary fiction as well as upmarket fiction and has a particular love of short fiction, especially linked collections or novels-in-stories.

In non-fiction, she is interested in representing very select projects in the areas of narrative non-fiction, cultural criticism, and literary memoir. In addition to working closely with her clients on their book projects, Martha loves placing their short stories, book excerpts, articles, and essays with magazines and literary journals.
