Lisa Rambert-Valaskova

I read broadly and can spark to a wide range of stories. I especially love cheeky protagonists that make me laugh, glamorous settings that make me dream,  reintroductions of the classics that speak to today, and stories that do not underestimate their readers. I mainly represent picture book and middle grade authors as well as select fiction and non-fiction adult authors from around the world.

Lisa Rambert-Valaskova has a law degree from the University of McGill and a degree in French Language and Literature from the University of Toronto, Trinity College. Prior to joining Transatlantic she worked with several agents and authors as an independent literary consultant and editor. After living in Ottawa, Rome, Toronto, Prague, New York and (almost) Paris (twice!) – she now lives in beautiful Montreal with her husband, three children, and a sweet-as-honey Small Munsterlander named Tessa.
