About the Agent

Victoria Marini began her career as a literary assistant at Sterling Lord in 2007. Over the next sixteen years, she became an agent with Gelfman Schneider, ICM Partners, and the Irene Goodman Agency before co-founding High Line in 2023. Originally from rural Pennsylvania, she has lived in New York for over two decades. She represents numerous award-winning and bestselling authors across various audiences and is interested in a broad range of sub-genres for both Upmarket & Commercial Adult and Young Adult readers. Her list includes literary page-turners, commercial suspense, supernatural horrors, whimsical speculative romantasy, big-world fantasies, adventures, romance, edgy sci-fi, grounded magical fabulism, rom-coms, and speculative thrillers. What unites her eclectic list are unforgettable, authentic characters, hooky concepts with strong plotting and an emotional core, and unique voices or visions. She is a sucker for quirk, mystery, small-town hysteria, atmosphere, secrets, things that go bump in the night, a bit of charm, a twist of magic, or a dash of humor.
