Danya works as a literary agent for one reason: she loves books. She loves reading books, she loves editing books, she loves the people who write them. She loves the business of publishing, and she comes to both her writing and agenting careers with a sense of dedicated focus. She approaches every novel—her own and her clients’— with a determination to elevate the technical aspects of the story, to edit thoughtfully and carefully until each book shines. At Trellis Literary Management, she works closely alongside Michelle Brower. For more information about her wishlist and the submission process, please visit trellisliterary.com.
