About

Renee joined the Transatlantic Agency as a literary assistant in 2024, after building a well-rounded foundation in publishing through roles in agenting, scouting, and magazine production. Through her work supporting the desks of Senior Agents Amanda Orozco and Brenna English-Loeb, she’s worked with a wide range of dynamic and groundbreaking writers including Kay Chronister (The Bog Wife), Mathilda Zeller (It Looks Like You In The Dark) and Genoveva Dimova (Foul Days; Monstrous Nights).
A 2024 Los Angeles Review of Books Publishing Workshop alumnus, she graduated magna cum laude from Ateneo de Manila University with a degree in creative writing, concentration in creative nonfiction. Proudly hailing from Antipolo, Philippines, she is now based in Los Angeles. When she’s not reading, you can find her lifting weights, perfecting her focaccia recipe, and starting (!) crochet projects.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
