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.

Liz Coley writes novels, short stories, and plays. She is author of the international best-selling psychological thriller, Pretty Girl-13, published in twelve languages on five continents; her short stories can be found in numerous print anthologies as well as Cosmos magazine. Liz has also self-published Out of Xibalba, an alternate Mayan history/time travel story, The Captain’s Kid, a tween sci-fi adventure, and the Tor Maddox “pink thrillers” series, featuring a female teen hero for our times.

A lifelong devotee of theatre, in 2016 Liz blind-dated playwriting and fell in love. The affair continues. Several of her ten-minute plays are published in anthologies. Her early work has been read and produced in Ohio (Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati, UC College Conservatory, Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative, One-Minute Play Festival, Tongue in Groove literary salon, MadLab Theatre); California (La Jolla Theatre Ensemble, Trinity Theatre, North Park Playwright Festival); New York (Rome Community Theatre); and Massachusetts (Enter Stage Left Theater). Favorite one-hour works include her collection Six Little Love Stories—"follow love’s course from hello to goodbye, with occasional detours”— and absurdist tragicomedy Castaways— “Gilligan’s Island meets Waiting for Godot in memory care.” Castaways recently won Audience Favorite and Judges’ Choice awards at a one-acts festival and will be staged at the San Diego International Fringe Festival in June 2022. Her full-length family dramedies Planting Grandma and Moving In, Moving Out, Moving On both speak to those scary things on all of our minds (until they aren’t): aging, dementia, and death.

Liz founded and manages Next Stage Cincinnati Playwrights, a support and critique group aiming to advance their work to the stage. She is a founder of TARGETOHIO, a nonpartisan political advocacy group to lift the voices of Asian-Americans in Ohio. When she isn’t writing or politicizing, she enjoys singing in choir and playing tennis.

She can be found virtually as LizColeyBooks on social media and on her website.
