Trinica Sampson-Vera is an Associate Literary Agent at New Leaf Literary, representing MG to Adult commercial/upmarket fiction. She particularly loves genre-blending speculative fiction; romance; explorations of what it means to be monstrous; and stories that could best be described as “be gay, do crime.” For more manuscript wishlist information.
Trinica graduated from Antioch College with a degree in Creative Writing and French. Prior to agenting, they worked as a case manager to those experiencing chronic homelessness and as an independent editor with Salt & Sage Books and Writing Diversely. Although they hail from California, Trinica now has a home just outside of Austin, TX, where they enjoy playing Dungeons & Dragons and participating in fan-run Survivor games (bug-eating included).
