What she is seeking: Heather is currently seeking submissions for middle grade and young adult.
For fiction, she’ll consider all genres and loves a good genre splice. For non-fiction, anything that takes her back to those days in the library when she wanted to learn about someone, something, and somewhere new. For all writing, Heather enjoys unique characters formed from their own experiences in a unique world. The characters need to feel real with a distinct voice from the first line. Thematic elements and strong character arcs are a must. She loves commercial fiction that has a literary flair and inclusive books that bring us together as citizens of the world.
How to submit: Please email (only) to: heather.stormliteraryagency@gmail.com with "Query TITLE OF MANUSCRIPT" in the subject line of your email. (No need for the quotes.) For middle grade and young adult, send the first twenty pages in the body of your email below your query letter and signature. If interested, she'll contact you for the full. Links to social media platforms are appreciated.

What she is seeking: Cecilia “CeCe” Lyra represents a range of fiction and nonfiction authors writing for the adult market.
In fiction, upmarket is her sweet spot, though CeCe is also interested in literary fiction with
propulsive elements and commercial fiction with a distinctive voice. She is actively acquiring across genres, including book club, thrillers, horror, suspense, mysteries, family sagas, dark comedies, historical fiction, light speculative fiction, magical realism, smart romances, and genre mashups. CeCe is keen on stories that explore class and power dynamics, dysfunctional relationships, female rage, and competitive subcultures.
In nonfiction, CeCe is seeking expert-led proposals with paradigm-shifting takeaways with a particular interest in psychology, wellness, health and medicine, self-development, spirituality, women’s issues, current affairs, pop culture, and select memoir. CeCe appreciates narratives that expose what is hidden in plain sight, whether it’s an untold story or the unseen side of things we think we know everything about. No title is too serious or too accessible for her taste.
Born and raised bilingual and bicultural in Rio de Janeiro, CeCe is passionate about representing under and misrepresented voices. She is a member of the Association of American Literary Agents (AALA) and a co-host of the podcast The Shit No One Tells You About Writing, which has over four million downloads. A mixed-race Latina, CeCe is a proud member of Latinx in Publishing. She is also a recovering lawyer but asks that you do not hold that against her.
