Haley Warrington is a literary agent with The Booker Albert Literary Agency.

Haley has two romance novels slated for publication by Lake Country Press.

She is a fan of all things romance—bring the heat or leave it at the door. She’s interested in adult and new adult fiction. Some of her favorite novels include The Match by Sarah Adams, Wildfire by Hannah Grace, and anything Emily Henry. She would love a story that could comp shows like Gossip Girl, Reign, or You.

Across the genres Haley would like to represent, she is overall looking for great storytelling. Any piece that brings emotion to the front and center and evokes reactions. Make her laugh, make her cry, make her think about it for weeks after the initial read (emphasis on the crying aspect…she likes sad stories).

Things she likes:

– Cross-generational love stories where the protagonists meet over and over again in different time periods, always ending up together somehow

– Second-chance romance

– Gossip Girl-esque stories with a romance focus; think rich people problems but complicate it with a love aspect

– Stories centered around grief and overcoming it

– Murder mysteries in the vein of Knives Out

– Stories across genres with a heavy emphasis on found family

– Romance novels with a fantasy element (no high fantasy)

Arizona Bell is a literary agent with Rosecliff Literary.

Arizona is an author, bestselling ghostwriter, Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, popular podcaster, sought-after conference speaker.

She’s seeking daring nonfiction that pushes boundaries and changes conversations.

Arizona’s list centers on voice-driven narrative and creative nonfiction, big-idea books, high-stakes journalism with receipts, fresh slants on culture and creativity, and meaningful explorations of spirituality, religion, or philosophy. And yes—she’s also a sucker for anything astrology!

At the core, she’s hunting for writing that tackles resilience, belief, and the human spirit under pressure, and does so with literary pizazz.

Whether it’s a survival memoir that doubles as cultural critique, a narrative that blows open an underground world hiding in plain sight, or a political exposé that keeps you turning pages like a thriller—she wants true stories that refuse to look away.

When she’s not crafting (and manically quarrelling with) her own manuscripts, Arizona moonlights as the founder and chief wordsmith of writegeist—a luxury ghostwriting agency for visionaries serious about success.

Trinica Sampson-Vera is a literary agent with New Leaf Literary & Media.

Trinica is accepting children’s and adult fiction and nonfiction. Across age groups, she loves adventurous, character-driven stories with largely emotional stakes. Trinica is passionate about championing diverse and marginalized voices.

She is seeking:

• Speculative fiction (especially horror, cozy-to-high fantasy, hopepunk, and near future science fiction)
• Romance and romcoms (especially featuring sapphic/queer relationships)
• NA campus stories (especially dark academia)
• Caribbean (especially Trinidad & Tobago) characters/settings
• Reality TV premises
• Unreliable narrators
• Stories that support women’s wrongs
• Found family (give me the intensity of the Fast & the Furious franchise)
• Messy, doomed, heartbreakingly passionate tragic romances featuring people who make each other worse (I want the intensity of the relationship between Will/Hannibal, iykyk)
• Retellings – I prefer retellings that are “inspired by” rather than faithful retellings. I love to be surprised by a twist or a new way of imagining an old story.

Fun facts about me:

• I play online Survivor (like the CBS show!) and have won twice.
• My name comes from Trinidad and California, where each of my parents was born.
• I’ve cooked my way through two cookbooks and am always looking for new recipes to try!

Trinica graduated from Antioch College with a degree in Creative Writing and French. After several editorial internships during college, she moved to Austin and found an unexpected home in social services, where she worked for five years as a case manager to those experiencing chronic homelessness. Prior to beginning at New Leaf, she worked as an independent editor with Salt & Sage Books and Writing Diversely.
