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.

Julie Abery is an award-winning children’s author and former preschool teacher, who shaped her career by reading picture books to children from around the world.

Throughout the many years of teaching English to her classes in international schools, picture books have been her friends and allies bringing rhyme, rhythm, and repetition to the ears of her young students. She still occasionally teaches in French, where she shares her joy of picture books, storytelling, and song with her local community. It is the magic that picture books create for children that inspires her writing.

Originally from England, Julie now calls Switzerland home.
