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.

Becky Hohensee

Becky Hohensee is a writer of picture books who is passionate about combining fact and fiction in crafting stories that take readers on adventures to places they have never seen, introducing them to experiences they never had, and making them feel excited and hopeful along the way.   

As a former social worker with a BA in Child, Family and Social Services and a Master’s of Social Work, Becky built a career as a pediatric social worker with a strong emphasis on advocacy and social justice. Her writing reflects the value and worthiness of children’s voices in stories.  

But, Becky’s crowning achievement is that of being a mom to her three adult sons: Gabe, Hayden and Jack, who served as her first beta-readers many years ago. It was their treasured time reading together that sparked her passion to write and she’s been writing ever since.   

A willful learner, Becky is a long-term member of SCBWI, a former member of 12 x 12, a member of the Louisiana Library Association, and most recently was selected as a Rosie J. Pova Mentee to complete her Picture Book Mastery Program. 

When not writing, Becky can be found at a yoga class, in her kitchen cooking up a Cajun concoction, or roaming the streets through the historical districts of New Orleans in search of a new story. She lives in South Louisiana with her husband, Garett and the most-devoted chocolate lab, Roux.
