Courtney Paganelli
Courtney Paganelli joined the LGR in May of 2019 as an assistant to Jim Levine and Stephanie Rostan.
Some of her clients include novelists Mallory Arnold, H Lee Justine, Nicolas DiDomizio, and Edgar-Award winner, Erica Ruth Neubauer — and on the nonfiction side, bestselling authors Jason Tartick, Kelly Cervantes, and Amy Shoenthal, as well as subconscious breakthrough coach & content creator Haley Hoffman Smith, star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Jackie Goldschneider, and deaf advocate, speaker, & contestant on The Bachelor, Abigail Heringer.
Courtney graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in English Literature. She launched her publishing career as an intern with Wise Ink Creative Publishing, and later worked as an Editorial Assistant at Pearson and an Assistant Managing Editor at Random House Children’s Books before becoming a part of the team at LGR.
Courtney is looking for:
“Courtney is on the hunt for novels with type-A protagonists, engaging enemies to lovers narratives, and whodunits that have her stumped until the final page. She's particularly keen on atmospheric or paranormal horror, horror or romance with vampires, and grounded commercial or literary fiction with a speculative touch. She's hopeful to find new projects in the vein of Shark Heart, Promise Me Sunshine, and The Wedding People.”
Examples of books she currently represents:
How to Survive a Horror Story by Mallory Arnold
You Watched in Silence by H Lee Justine
The Weight of Beautiful by Jackie Goldschneider
