Laura Biagi joined the Jean V. Naggar Literary Agency Inc. (JVNLA) in 2009. She is actively seeking adult literary fiction and young readers' fiction (YA, middle grade, and picture books). Of particular interest to her are dynamic characters, vivid and unexpected sentences, complex narrative arcs, psychological twists, magical realism, cultural themes, social issues, absurdism, thrillers that break the genre mold, and elements that challenge the way we typically view the world. Laura also handles the sale of UK and Australian rights, as well as audio rights. She grew up in a small town in Kentucky and graduated from Northwestern University with a B.A. in creative writing and anthropology. Her writing background has honed her editorial eye and has driven her enthusiasm for discovering and developing literary talent.
