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.

Emily Soderberg has always loved reading and writing mysteries. Her first attempt was in second grade, when she filled a spiral notebook with a pretty blatant “Boxcar Children” rip-off. The project stalled, however, because poor seven-year-old Emily couldn’t figure out which of her dastardly suspects was guilty.

She was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas, and has spent her adult life in St. Louis. In college, she studied Religious Studies and German, which has come in handy exactly twice in her professional career. Once she was asked to write ad copy for a Bavarian prince’s winery, and once when trying to troubleshoot a giant machine. The parts diagram for the giant machine was inexplicably in German.

These days, she spends her free time up in the air, as a trapeze and aerial hoop coach. She might be tempted to run off and join the circus, but her cats prefer a more settled lifestyle. Emily used to be able to say that her cats were named after Power Rangers, but a recent addition has messed up the pattern. So now she can just say that her cats were named, which isn’t really worth saying.
