Gabriela Laracuente Sanchez, assistant agent

Gabriela Laracuente Sanchez had the opportunity to join the Howland team as an intern while completing a BA in English: Editing, Writing, and Media with a minor in Women’s Studies from Florida State University. She was also the Editor in Chief of The Experience and Editorial Assistant of the Kudzu Review during this time. These experiences led her to help authors navigate building a business and speaker brand alongside a book. Gabriela has since rejoined the Howland team and represents adult fiction and nonfiction. She lives in Dickinson, Texas. 

In adult fiction, she seeks literary, upmarket, and women’s fiction with genre elements and strong cultural influences—especially from Latine backgrounds. She wants to see works exploring cultural identity, complex family dynamics, womanhood, and characters adapting to new spaces. She is also interested in multilingual projects that utilize code-switching, elements of magical realism and speculative fiction, or elements of food writing. 

In adult nonfiction, she is looking for books on food, food culture, and nutrition.
