Stacia Decker has been an agent since 2009. Previously, she worked at the Donald Maass Literary Agency and, as an editor, at Harcourt. She began her career as an intern and then editorial assistant at Farrar, Straus & Giroux after earning an MFA in nonfiction writing from Columbia University and an AB in Government and English from Georgetown University. She represents grounded SFF, speculative fiction, horror, some romance, and select literary fiction in adult and YA. She is looking for ambitious worldbuilding, strong voices, fast-paced plotting, cross-genre elements, dark romance, and anything slightly unhinged.
