BookEnds Literary Agency opened its doors in 1999 and, with the addition of BookEnds Jr. in 2017, touts a robust client list featuring hundreds of authors and illustrators. Specializing in representing fiction and non-fiction for all ages, we proudly call many award-winning, New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling authors and illustrators our clients. We work closely with our clients to bring the books we have fallen in love with to the rest of the reading public. Above all, our goal is to be the agency that makes creators’ dreams come true.
