NEW! YA Critique #2 from Agent Kelly Sonnack, Andrea Brown Literary Agency

The Prize: One critique of the first five double-spaced pages of your fiction young adult novel.

The Darer: As an agent, Kelly specializes in all types of children’s literature (picture books, middle grade, young adult, and graphic novels). In picture books and middle grade fiction, Kelly looks for a good sense of humor, stories that stretch a young reader’s imagination, and an authentic voice. In young adult, she appreciates literary voices and character-driven stories with heart. In non-fiction for children, she enjoys projects that inspire and stimulate the minds of our younger generations. At this time, Kelly is not accepting unsolicited submissions in adult fiction or adult non-fiction.

Some of the titles Kelly has represented include include: Steve Watkins’ DOWN SAND MOUNTAIN (Candlewick) and GOAT GIRL (Candlewick); Merrily Kutner’s ALPHABET MAGIC (Roaring Brook); Jin Pyn Lee’s THE ELEPHANT AND THE TREE (Running Press); Candace Ryan’s ANIMAL HOUSE (Walker); Heather Leigh’s HEY LITTLE BABY (S&S/Beach Lane Books); Neil Johnson & Joel Chin’s THE FALLING RAINDROP (Tricycle Press); and James Burks’ graphic novel GABBY AND GATOR (Yen Press)
