Agent Information

Agent Bio

Larissa Melo Pienkowski joined Azantian Literary Agency in 2025 after five years with Jill Grinberg Literary Management.

Across age groups, her list spans the spectrum of literary and commercial in both fiction and nonfiction.

She is proud to represent brilliant, creative, conversation-sparking clients who have gone on to become USA Today bestsellers, Indie Next picks, Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selections, and winners of the Nebula Award, GLAAD Award, Nautilus Book Award, and National Indie Excellence Award, among others.

She believes books are a critical tool in the ongoing fight for liberation, and she has a passion for bringing books into the world that challenge the status quo and make people feel seen.

Larissa earned a degree in social work and sociology at Simmons College, followed by a master's in publishing and writing at Emerson College.

She is the proud daughter of Brazilian and Polish immigrants and speaks Portuguese and Spanish.

Originally from Massachusetts, Larissa now lives in Philadelphia with her wife and their Siberian husky, Olaf.
