An agent with Rosecliff Literary (see other agents at this agency).

About

Shannon Snow worked in finance and marketing for nearly twenty years before turning to her childhood first love – books and writers.
She started her publishing career in 2018 as an intern and then an associate agent with Creative Media Agency, Inc, before moving to Rosecliff Literary Agency in 2026.
Shannon holds a B.A. in English Language and Literature with a minor in Creative Writing.
She has an eclectic reading taste spanning most genres in the commercial and upmarket space.
In searching for new projects, Shannon seeks books that have a unique angle and authors with wonderful, engaging voices with lots of depth and nuance.
Characterization is a top draw for her, so she is looking for vivid, well-developed characters.
She loves it when an author can make her laugh, make her cry, or just make her feel emotion in general. She is actively building her list.

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.
