Roma Panganiban began her publishing career at The Gernert Company before moving to Janklow & Nesbit in 2019, where she began representing literary and upmarket fiction and nonfiction across the adult and children's markets. She joined the Azantian Literary Agency in 2025 to continue championing fresh, unexpected perspectives, particularly those of writers from underrepresented communities. Roma is a member of the American Association of Literary Agents (AALA) and an ambivalent Bluesky user (@romapancake). She lives in Brooklyn.
Examples of books she currently represents:
The Stars Too Fondly by Emily Hamilton, The Notes by Catherine Con Morse, Seek Immediate Shelter by Vincent Yu [note: I co-repped this title at my previous agency but not any of the author's potential future titles, so please feel free to drop if that disqualifies it as "current"!)
Roma is looking for:
Roma's taste leans literary, but she is open to fiction that incorporates genre elements, as well as work that defies categorization altogether. She is interested in narrative nonfiction that reorients our understanding of history, culture, science, society, and ourselves, and creative nonfiction that appeals equally to the heart, mind, and sense of humor.
Roma is not looking for:
colonial history, military/police, body horror, talking animals, aliens, fantasy kingdoms
