Noelle Falcis Math, Literary Agent at Transatlantic Literary Agency, has garnered a breadth of experience as a writer and editor before transitioning into agenting. She holds a BA and MFA in English and Creative Writing, and has received fellowships or residencies from VONA (Voices of Our Nations), Tinhouse, The Seventh Wave, and Lemontree House. At VONA, she realized the lack of knowledge accessible to marginalized writers, which fueled her interest in publishing. In 2021, she completed the Los Angeles Review of Books’ Publishing Workshop and Transatlantic Agency’s BIPOC mentorship program. In 2023, she transitioned into an Associate Agent, where she began building her list. Since then, Noelle has spearheaded sales of her clients’ works into literary strongholds such as One World, Graywolf, Knopf, Avid Reader Press, amongst others. Her growing client list includes experimental poet m. mick powell; critical essayists, Raksha Vasudevan, Tracy Wan, and Elda María Román; and genre-blending novelists, Jasmine Kuliasha and Stefany Valentine. Prior to becoming an agent, Noelle had a robust career teaching for the Department of Asian American Studies at the California State University, Long Beach, and was mentored by Senior TLA Agent Amanda Orozco. In 2025, Noelle was promoted to Literary Agent. She is based in Los Angeles.
Noelle represents literary, upmarket, and speculative fiction alongside cultural nonfiction, memoir, and select poetry. For all projects, she maintains her perennial ask for experimental, form breaking prose. She is looking for projects that uplift essential voices from the margins and teaches how to better be human. Noelle has a particular interest in stories with compelling writing that explores reimagined folklores, the mythic and mundane, and the strange and fabulous beside the everyday. She likes complex characters that shift and evolve, teaching us further about ourselves and the resilience of the human condition.
