*PLEASE NOTE: Abigail’s only email address is: af **** @ **. If you receive communication from any other address, it is spam.* Abigail Frank is lucky to work with brilliant writers and illustrators at Sanford J. Greenburger Associates. She is searching for thoughtful and clever writing that never underestimates the subject or the reader, and she cares about voice, above all. She is committed to advocating for the work of authors and artists with marginalized identities, and she’s actively looking for stories that allow young readers to recognize themselves in the books they love. Her wish list includes (but is not limited to): big concept and/or offbeat picture books, preferably by author/illustrators. Please note: she is especially selective when it comes to picture book texts, but is very open to illustrator-only submissions voice-driven chapter books! stories that focus on clothes/fashion, especially illustrated work middle grade with really clever humor swoon-worthy YA rom-coms!! stories with a drop of magic or set in the not-so-distant future stories that grapple with ideas of masculinity anything that makes you think: “I didn’t know books could do that” or “woah this is weird/new/zany”

Due to the volume of submissions, she is unable to respond to every query. Vital Info @abigailcrfrank Website Agent
