The Darer: Tracey Adams, along with husband Josh Adams, co-founded Adams Literary in 2004 and has been exclusively representing children’s book authors and artists for over 10 years. Before becoming an agent, she spent years working in the editorial and marketing departments of publishing houses, including Margaret K. McElderry Books and Greenwillow Books. Tracey is a member of the AAR and the SCBWI.

Our clients’ work spans every age and every genre—from picture books to middle-grade and young adult fiction, from historical novels and fantasy to books that tackle important contemporary issues. While we give every submission its due consideration, we must admit a fondness for middle-grade and young adult novels with memorable characters and a unique voice. We don’t typically handle textbooks, novelty, craft, how-to or coloring books—and we don’t handle any adult works.

We represent Cynthia Lord, Margaret Peterson Haddix, Jenny Nimmo, Alan Katz, Coleen Paratore, Adrienne Vrettos, Geraldine McCaughrean, among others.

The Dare: Place a minimum bid of $35 by leaving a comment, then outbid the highest bidder until you win!  Value: Priceless. *All winners must take the solemn critiquee oath.*

*Did you bid on this auction? Don’t forget to enter our drawings for fabulous giveaways.*
