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.

J.J. Howard

JJ Howard is an author and English teacher who makes her home in sunny South Florida. Her YA debut That Time I Joined the Circus was published by Scholastic in 2013. She is also the author of the YA novel Tracers, the companion to the 2015 Temple Hill film starring Taylor Lautner, as well as a series of middle grade Wish novels for Scholastic, including: Sit, Stay, Love, Pugs and Kisses, The Love Pug, Pugs in a Blanket, and Girls Just Wanna Have Pugs. She also wrote Z On Location for the American Girls series. JJ has taught every grade from sixth to college, and loves incorporating contemporary YA and MG into her curriculum. And, for good or ill, she is always fully up to date on the latest teen slang: a side effect of spending her days with thirteen-year olds. When she is not writing–or grading papers–you can find her reading at the beach, reading on her porch, or “just browsing” on Poshmark.
