Stimola Literary Studio LLC

In more than thirty years of professional life, Rosemary Stimola has worn many hats, all of them centered on books for children and young adults. Her first work life as a PH.D linguist, teaching language and literature at the City University of New York, with a specialization in children’s literature, steeped her in the aesthetics of narrative, the power of the written word, and the nuanced partnership of word and art in the telling of story. Her second work life, as owner of A Child’s Story, an independent bookstore of national reputation in Teaneck, NJ, educated her in the business of children’s publishing, and brought her the Lucile Micheels Pannell Award, given by the National Women’s Book Association, for bringing children and books together.

In 1997, calling upon her experience and reputation as an educator and bookseller, she founded the Stimola Literary Studio, LLC, a full service agency devoted to the management and representation of a select, but varied, clientele---authors and author/illustrators of fiction and nonfiction, preschool through young adult, who bring unique and substantive contributions to the industry and to the young people for whom their words and/or art are intended.

While many aspiring and accomplished authors and author/illustrators come to the Studio through clients and others in the publishing community, it is committed to finding and nurturing new talents and, as such, remains open to unsolicited queries. Please see SUBMISSION GUIDELINES for further details.

Looking to maximize the creative and commercial potential of all properties, the Studio also works with subrights personnel and/or co-agents in the exercise of audio, dramatic and merchandise rights as well as book rights in a wide range of world territories. Now, celebrating its eleventh year, the Stimola Literary Studio is among the most respected independent literary agencies today, and Rosemary has become one of the most sought after speakers at writer and illustrator conferences throughout the United States and abroad

The Stimola Literary Studio enjoys two seasonal locations in the northeast, one on the New Jersey shores of the Hudson River across from the Westside of Manhattan; the other, on the shores of Martha’s Vineyard, MA.
