Dani Leshgold is a literary agent at Sterling Lord Literistic. Dani joined Sterling Lord Literistic, Inc. in 2024 and works with Sarah Landis and Robert Guinsler. Prior to working at SLL, she received her MFA from Columbia University. Currently building her list, Dani is looking for literary fiction that keeps her up at night, grounded fantasy and romance that uncovers real emotion and truths, and books that sweep her off her feet with their atmosphere. Thematically, she is drawn to girlhood, nostalgia, queer romance, body horror, and her native Los Angeles. Dani is also interested in essay collections that explore home, the body, and family. Dani now enjoys watching the seasons change from her window in Brooklyn.
