Voice is everything to me and can make up for a lot! In a query I'm looking for that voice to come through slightly. Hook me by telling me about the relationships that begin, grow, and/or end across your manuscript.
Stefanie Molina-Santos is an Associate Agent at Looking Glass Literary Agency. She has worked in and around publishing for the past ten years and sits on the board of Literary Agents of Change. Stefanie represents kidlit through adult fiction and nonfiction and prioritizes underrepresented authors, especially BIPOC authors, across the board. Stefanie is currently seeking MG, YA, and Adult fiction and nonfiction. In MG and YA she loves gutsy, messy main characters in a layered narrative--bonus if there are sports, unique hobbies, or world-saving involved.
She’s open to all genres in MG and YA, but prefers gutsy contemporary and grounded fantasy, social and social-ish horror, and mystery with a strong sense of adventure. In Adult fiction, she’s specifically seeking all things cozy and feel-good, as well as mysteries, thrillers, suspense, fantasy (grounded and/or cozy, no epic), women's fiction, and high-concept romance, with a strong preference for BIPOC protagonists overall. In Adult nonfiction, she’s hunting for cookbooks and baking books from people of color, including first, second, third (& so on!) -gen immigrants finding their ways back to their roots, as well as health/fitness-centric, body-neutral cookbooks; and nonfiction that sits at the intersection of advocacy and the following: sports and exercise science, health and fitness, nutrition, medicine, and animals; though any nonfiction intersecting with advocacy is welcome in her inbox. Across the board she appreciates anticolonialism and decolonization; non-Western-centric perspectives (and folklore); and protagonists that disrupt the status quo.

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received by Roadmap, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
