Stefanie Molina

Stefanie Molina is an agent at Ladderbird Literary Agency. Prior to becoming an agent in 2021, she worked for five years as a senior editor at the literary journal F(r)iction and two years as a book coach and editor for women of color. She is Asian Latina (Mexican, Japanese, and Irish) and holds a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Bachelor of Arts in Communications, both from the University of California at Davis. Aside from reading, she enjoys hiking, swimming, baking, and playing the piano. Her favorite place in the world is Yosemite National Park. Stefanie is looking for BIPOC stories, inclusive of intersectional identities, and is not taking on clients who are not from communities that have been systemically excluded from publishing. She especially adores adventurous stories and works that incorporate food, animals, the outdoors, and intergenerational relationships. She’s open to cookbooks and baking books, picture books, MG, YA, and Adult; her favorite genres include contemporary and urban fantasy, mystery, thriller, character-driven horror, empowering historical fiction, and coming-of-age stories. Love stories in any of these genres are always a plus.
