Storm Literary Agency

Boutique literary agency representing quality literature from exceptional authors and illustrators

First, there was a  teacher who loved books almost as much as she loved little children. Then, there was an artist who loved pirates, almost as much as he loved cats. As it turns out, that artist could also write, and that teacher loved the pirate stories he wrote. And she shared those stories with the children she taught. The children loved the pirate stories; they also loved the cats. They wanted more stories with pirates and cats. They also wanted an adventure. And the stories gave them so many adventures. And that is that: Storm Literary Agency came about because it needed to. The children requested it. And so did the cats. 

Storm Literary Agency welcomes submissions from unique and talented authors and illustrators, those who are not afraid to embrace their capacity to teach, to entertain, to engage and to honor people, young and old, who hopefully, will be changed by the work represented here.

Ashley Tropea

Ashley Tropea comes from an Egyptian-Italian family and has been writing since she was 11. She finished her first novel by the age of 14 and published it online for free, where she received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback, earning a combined 1.5 million reads worldwide. After much prodding from fans, Ashley decided to independently publish her debut novel, Missing in the Pages, on Amazon, which has met with wonderful reviews and praise.

 

In addition to her (perhaps unhealthy) obsession with books, she is also a huge TV junkie. She studied writing for TV at Loyola Marymount University where she graduated with a BA in Screenwriting in 2021 and won the school’s Industry Award for one of her pilot screenplays. Her scripts have performed just as well as her novels, placing in numerous screenwriting competitions, including ScreenCraft, regularly ranking in the top 10 on Coverfly’s Red List, and she is in regular talks with studios about producing one of her scripts. Her screenplays are currently represented by Ryan Goldblum and Mikhael Bassilli at MAG | Wired.

 

When she's not writing, you can usually find her curled up with a book, struggling to learn the piano, or obsessively playing God of War. With a special place in her heart for fantasies and ball gowns, Ashley intends to spread her love of large worlds, adventure, and romance through her novels and films.
