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, and USA Today bestselling authors and illustrators our clients.
At BookEnds, we believe strongly in making publishing more inclusive through the titles, authors, and illustrators we represent. All agents are actively seeking books written and illustrated by marginalized creators. Our mission is to create a more diverse publishing industry. We strive to be a safe space for LGBTQ2IA+, BIPOC, and all marginalized creators, working to lift their voices in publishing. Our agents work closely with their 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.
