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.

Nazli Tahvili is an Iranian illustrator, author, and Graphic designer.

She received her master of art in Illustration at the Academy of fine arts of Bologna, Italy and, graduated in Graphics from the Azad art university of Tehran, Iran.

Nazli started her career as an illustrator. She has illustrated 11 children's books, some of which have been published worldwide and have earned national and international prizes. Her illustration medium changes based on the feel of the story. She does not limit herself to a fixed medium but uses her experiences and whatever techniques seem appropriate, to help narrate the story.

She is the author and illustrator of 4 picture books, 3 of which are wordless. She loves creating wordless books and believes that stories without words, allow the audience to participate in the narration of the story. Chalk Eagle, one of her wordless books, was nominated by IBBY UK for inclusion in the children's library at Lampedusa, Italy in 2019.

She lives and works with her husband in Studiosospeso, which means suspended studio. Studiosospeso was located in Tehran, for many years, then in the northern forests of Iran for a few years, where a lot of space allowed them to print and produce books with the silkscreen technique. Following that, it was Bologna, Italy for 3 years and it’s been in California, Irvine since 2018.
