Stimola Literary Studio

About this Agency

The Stimola Literary Studio is a boutique literary agency founded in 1997. Through the years, it has established a stellar reputation in children’s publishing, respected for the contributions it has made to the body of literature for young people of all ages, across all genres and formats. Eclectic in taste but not in standards, we have helped to build careers for writers and artists from picture books through young adult novels with crossover appeal into the adult market. We are proud to count NYT Bestselling and award-winning authors and illustrators among our clients, including the National Book Award, the Sibert Award, the Caldecott Honor, the Newbery Honor, and the Pura Belpre Honor. At the Studio, our goal is not just to sell that first book, but to build careers and strategize how, hand-in-hand, to walk a path of successful publication in the long term and achieve success in the marketplace. Our representation is based not only on a professional skill set, but on a personal passion and a relationship of mutual respect and compatibility. Whether it is a debut or the next in a long line of successes, we work to tap and stretch the talents of each author and illustrator, bringing out the best each has to offer with a sense of timing, publisher insights and market awareness that will serve them well. Our client list has now grown to include projects in parenting, lifestyle, cookbooks and health and wellness. Always seeking licensing opportunities, we are proud to work as part of a wider team of co-agents and subagents around the world, to license film, foreign and other subsidiary rights.
