If you’re an author confused by the literary agent's all-important role, join us for a conversation with Rosemary Stimola and Adriana Stimola of Stimola Literary Studio. Whether you write fiction, non-fiction, YA, or memoir; and whether you are agented or not, this intimate, one-hour conversation will be an opportunity for you to ask questions and receive answers about the author/agent relationship and the agenting process from two of the industry’s most successful agents.
Rosemary Stimola, a former professor of language and literature and an award-winning children’s bookseller, founded the Stimola Literary Studio in 1997. Representing both fiction and nonfiction from preschool through young adult, and selectively extending into adult fiction, she is honored to count among her clients many award-winning and bestselling authors and illustrators including Suzanne Collins, Matthew Cordell, Thanhha Lai, Karen McManus, Lesa Cline-Ransome, Mary Pearson, Tanya Lee Stone, Matt Tavares and Renee Watson. Adriana Stimola (she/her) is passionate about ushering stories into being, building creative relationships, and helping to put forth words and images that make lasting impressions and grow our cultural, social and emotional intelligence. She represents a variety of award-winning nonfiction, including psychology and spirituality titles, cookbooks, memoir, art and select humor. Greatly influenced by time spent in her family’s bookstore and restaurant (and by her witchy teenage years), good stories, good food and a connection to the numinous are part of her creative constitution. Before agenting, Adriana worked at Little, Brown, Shambhala Publications and Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture, in partnership with Blue Hill Restaurant. |
