About me
Heather Roberts is a licensed attorney, literary agent, book marketer, and lifelong voracious reader who has built her career around helping authors navigate the business of publishing.
In 2016, she founded 1852 Media to provide strategic marketing and promotional support to authors at every stage of their careers. She later founded 1852 Literary to create more opportunities for writers seeking traditional publication while helping established authors expand their careers, strengthen their brands, and pursue new publishing goals. She is a member of the Association of American Literary Agents.
Heather also serves on the boards of After Action, a nonprofit that helps veterans and trauma survivors build sustainable futures through entrepreneurship and community support, and the Green Mountain Book Festival in Burlington, Vermont. She is also an elected Justice of the Peace in her Vermont community.
When she is not reading manuscripts, developing marketing strategies, or talking about books, Heather can usually be found caring for her herd of goats, quilting, or spending time with her husband and adult children.
