Adriana Stimola

President & Literary Agent

Adriana (she/her) grew up in a bookstore—good stories that leave lasting impressions are the basis of her creative constitution.

Adriana is passionate about ushering stories into being, building creative relationships, and helping to put forth words and images that grow our cultural, social and emotional intelligence.

I'm currently representing adult non-fiction in the realms of food, wellness, art, creativity & lifestyle. I am interested in: cookbooks & stories that celebrate food, food culture & food history ; books that highlight mindful & modern approaches to life; non-fiction projects that bring forth previously untold stories; art & design; and very occasionally, upmarket fiction.

Before agenting, Adriana was the Content Manager at Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture where she produced written & visual material to connect with visitors, and worked in partnership with Dan Barber's Blue Hill Restaurant on farmer-chef story collaborations. Before that she was an editorial assistant at Little, Brown. She earned a BA from Emerson College where she double-majored in Media Production & Performance with a minor in Poetry (which she still writes).
