Agent Bio
Samantha joined TLA in 2019 where she’s excited to grow her list.
In YA, she loves creative and epic fantasies, but she is also drawn to realistic stories with multi-dimensional female characters.
She is always interested in elevating diverse voices, particularly through feminist narratives.
She is seeking middle grade of all stripes, but especially stories that deal with themes of friendship, adventure, or encountering tragedy for the first time.
She is also on the lookout for whimsical, meaningful, and funny picture books.
