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.

Zoë is an illustrator and author living in London. She recently graduated from Cambridge School of Art with a Masters degree in Children’s Book Illustration.

She enjoys writing and drawing about the everyday things that are so important to children, and tries to see the world from their perspective. Zoë grew up surrounded by family members who were teachers, and she worked in schools and childcare clubs from a young age. Before becoming a full time illustrator she was the deputy manager of an after school club where she got to explore her inner child as well as find endless inspiration for her stories. 

Her playfulness extends to the way she approaches her work. She likes to experiment with different techniques and materials, usually using a combination of many different things for each illustration. Much of her current work is mono-printed, which she loves because of the looseness and freedom it brings. 

Recently Zoë was shortlisted for the Bologna Illustrators Exhibition, the Dpictus Unpublished Picture Book Showcase, and long listed for the AOI World Illustration Awards.
