Welcome!

Adams Literary is a full-service literary agency exclusively representing children's book authors and artists. Founded by respected industry insider Tracey Adams, Adams Literary prides itself on nurturing the creativity of its clients and maintaining close relationships with editors and publishers in New York City and around the world.

Drawing upon our editorial expertise, knowledge of the industry, and extensive experience in contract negotiations, we provide editorial judgment and input, marketing consultation, rights management and longterm career planning and advice.

Our clients' work ranges from picture books for the very young to edgy teen novels. Sharing our clients' same dedication to children's literature, we are building a community of talented individuals and finding audiences for their work through our affiliations around the world.

While we like to think of ourselves as matchmakers—connecting authors and artists with editors and publishers, and young readers with unforgettable books—our first priority is to ensure our clients have the peace of mind to concentrate on their characters, not their contracts.

Submission Info

Adams Literary does not accept unsolicited queries or manuscripts in any form. All unsolicited submissions will be returned unread, or will be recycled immediately if no SASE is enclosed.

This policy supercedes any information that may be listed in writers' guides or other web sites. We will not be responsible for manuscripts submitted without regard to this policy.

Adams Literary is grateful to have heard from thousands of aspiring and accomplished authors and artists since our launch in 2004, and we remain dedicated to finding new talent. We continue to accept submissions from attendees of the conferences listed on our events page.

If you have general questions, you may reach us by phone, fax or e-mail.
