Paloma Hernando

Paloma Hernando got her start at Einstein Literary Management in 2020, where she built a list focusing on graphic novels and illustrated books, and joined APL in the fall of 2024. Coming from a background of independent comics and the DIY scene, Paloma has always been attracted to well-told stories with a passionate drive behind them. Paloma is also accepting prose works and is seeking any book that tells genre stories in new ways.

My favorite books/comics that I’ve read recently are:
Idlewild by James Frankie Thomas, Astral Season, Beastly Season by Tahi Saihate, The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey, Cuckoo by Gretchen Felker-Martin, Daemons of the Shadow Realm by Hiromu Arakawa, The Summer Hikaru Died by Mokumokuren, Chainsaw Man by Tatsuki Fujimoto,

PLEASE NOTE: If you have any stories that involve the police, prison, or the military and don’t take a firmly abolitionist stance on them, I am not the agent to send your query to.
