Amy Giuffrida (Agent)
THE REGISTRATION LINK FOR AMY GIUFFRIDA WILL ACTIVATE WHEN MANUSCRIPT MART REGISTRATION OPENS FOR GRUBSTREET MEMBERS ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, AT 1:00 PM EST.
After Amy earned her BA at the University of Kutztown and a M.Ed. from Lock Haven University, she incorporated her love of reading and books with being a middle school teacher. Amy’s biggest joy was to put the perfect book in the hands of a teen and change their minds about reading. Amy turned this love into a career by reading romance slush for a publishing company, then interned for various literary agencies, until she became an associate literary agent in 2020 with Belcastro Agency. In her spare time, you can find Amy either listening to, reading, or talking about books. She also loves binge-watching teen and reality TV shows—all while snuggling with one or more of her three rescue dogs.

What I'm Looking For
In adult, I am currently looking for commercial/book club women's fiction, as well as thrillers, horror/horror romance, sports romance, paranormal romance, and dark romance. In YA, I am only looking for horror and rom coms. In all age categories, I am looking for unique hooks and stories that showcase the diversity of our world.
