Meet Ramona Pina, a proud Boston native (the accent slips out) and unapologetic dreamer on a quest to get wonderfully lost in fictional worlds. It all began with The Little Mermaid, a tale that swept her off her feet and set her off in search of “a whole new world” in every story that crosses her path.

Diving into the traditional publishing industry as a literary fellow at BookEnds agency, Ramona shortly transitioned into a full-fledged literary agent—think of her as Ariel with a magnifying glass and dingle-hopper! Known for her thoughtful approach, she specializes in speculative and genre fiction for YA, New Adult, and Adult readers. Her passion lies in acquiring and championing diverse voices and narratives that sparkle like treasures at the bottom of the sea.

When she’s not on the hunt for the next mind-blowing story, you can find Ramona trying new foods, melting into her couch with her furry feline pals, or scouting for hidden gems at thrift stores. She believes that stories have the power to inspire incredible change and can’t wait to help authentic voices rise to the surface!
