Imaginarium 2026 proudly welcomes literary agent and USA Today bestselling author Rose Betancourt as a Spotlighted Guest! Rose is the owner and principal agent of Betancourt Literary, bringing more than twenty years of experience in the publishing industry as both an agent and a USA Today bestselling author!

Rose is particularly drawn to psychological thrillers with a dark twist, layered mysteries, and stories that explore obsession, secrets, and moral ambiguity. She has a deep love for Southern and Southern Gothic fiction, especially novels that lean into atmosphere, complex female characters, and a sense of place that feels almost alive. She also represents select romance projects, particularly those with emotional depth, sharp voice, or genre-blending elements.

We are honored to have Rose join us for our 13th year, taking place July 17-19, 2026 in Louisville, Kentucky! For further information on the Imaginarium Convention, please visit www.entertheimaginarium.com
