About

SANDRA PAREJA worked as head of foreign rights at Casanovas & Lynch Literary Agency for eight years. Her client list includes bestselling writers, as well as winners and finalists for the National Book Award in Translation, the Premio Strega and the Premio Biblioteca de Narrativa Colombiana. Several of her authors have been translated into more than twenty languages. She was born in Toronto, was raised in Detroit too, and has spent much of her adulthood in Europe. She has degrees in Hispanic Literature from the University of Toronto and the University of Buenos Aires, and a Masters in Comparative Literature and Literary Theory from the University of Barcelona. She has worked as a teacher, translator and an assistant editor at Granta en Español and Duomo Ediciones.

With a soft spot for ambitious narrative non-fiction, she specializes in groundbreaking literary fiction written in languages other than English, but she is always up for a surprise.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible.

Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the agent/agency meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the agency/agent.

  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
