Fernanda Martinez

I'm the founder of Fernanda Literary, a boutique literary studio that helps ambitious authors launch successful careers in traditional publishing.

With over 7 years experience in traditional publishing, including as an Editor at Penguin Random House and at literary and scouting agencies, I work closely with authors exploring our world in bold and unexpected ways.

I specialize in guiding new, diverse voices across genres and bring a bilingual and multicultural lens to my work. I'm a hands-on agent with editorial leanings, and you can be sure that, whether I'm editing a debut novel or advocating for an author, my goal is always the same: to empower writers.

When I'm not reading, I'm usually chasing the sun on a picnic blanket or learning a new language. This year, I've been experimenting with the Digital Nomad lifestyle and loving it! (My cats, not so much).
