HB Steadham is a world-traveling, lifetime-learning lover of shenanigans. From piercing ears at a retail accessories store to teaching sex education in rural public schools to performing stand-up comedy in a children’s pageant, HB has led many lives. She has her MFA in Creative Writing and has served on the editorial staff of two award-winning publications and an independent publishing house. She joined The Tobias Literary Agency team in April of 2022 and is proud to now be cultivating a list of her own.

SEEKING: A collaborative and editorial agent, HB is looking for literary and upmarket fiction. You can get her attention with works set in the American South; narratives by and about queer folks; neurodivergence in all its manifestations; stories informed or inspired by folklore, mythology, fairy tales, and superstitions; and light elements of speculative fiction (no high fantasy)–or, simply, anything that is gorgeously and complexly written.
