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.

Gloria Reichert always knew she would become a teacher. She graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education and also earned a Master of Education degree from Kent State University, where she studied Curriculum and Instruction with a specialization in reading. She enjoyed teaching students in Grades 2, 4, and 6 as well as preschool and community college. Books enhance students’ lives in many ways, and picture books were often used to teach big ideas and academic concepts. Serving on the school district’s Young Authors Committee gave her the opportunity to guide students in creating their own books and to bring in published authors to inspire them.

Gloria currently directs a mentoring program for elementary-aged students. She belongs to SCBWI: Ohio North and has served on its Board since 2011. Gloria writes fiction, nonfiction, and crafts for children. Her work has been published in Highlights for Children Magazine. She also contributes to the Song of Six Pens blog. Her goal is to nurture children through her teaching, mentoring, and writing.

Gloria and her husband, Sam, live in Northeast Ohio. They look forward to activities with their two children and five grandchildren. Gloria’s interests include crafts, sewing, reading, cooking, and container gardening.
