Victoria Marini began her career as a literary assistant at Sterling Lord in 2007 and spent the next sixteen years becoming an agent with Gelfman Schneider, ICM Partners, and the Irene Goodman Agency before co-founding High Line in 2023. Originally from rural Pennsylvania, she’s been in New York for over two decades, though she’s usually found in the same few-block radius. She has represented numerous award winning and bestselling authors across audiences and is interested in a broad range of sub-genres for both Upmarket & Commercial Adult and Young Adult readers. Her list is made up of everything from Literary page-turners to commercial suspense, supernatural horrors, whimsical speculative romantasy, big world fantasies, adventures, romance, edgy sci-fi, grounded magical fabulism, rom-coms, speculative thrillers, etc. What unites her eclectic list is a sense of 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.
