Larissa grew up outside of Boston and attended Simmons University, where she earned her degree in Social Work and Sociology, performed poetry competitively and recreationally, and edited a number of literary magazines. Larissa later went on to receive her MA in Publishing and Writing from Emerson College, where she worked with the likes of Beacon Press and Barefoot Books before becoming the assistant publisher of an independent feminist press. She joined JGLM as an agent in 2020 and represents a wide range of adult and children’s fiction and nonfiction. The daughter of Brazilian and Polish immigrants, Larissa speaks Portuguese and Spanish. She lives in Philadelphia with her fiance and very fluffy husky, Olaf, and when she isn’t curled up with a good book or travelling the world, she can be found in her ceramics studio, where she makes wheel-thrown and hand-built porcelain pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-915334","agent","type-agent","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
