Agent Information
Agent Bio
Kendra Marcus started BookStop Literary Agency in 1984 and since then the agency has grown to be one of the most well-known and well-respected agencies for children’s book writers and illustrators.
Kendra gravitates toward quirky and funny picture books, fiction with unforgettable characters and stories that will bring her to tears.
Unusual non-fiction, especially science presented in new ways and little gems of history are also her cup of tea.
Stories with Hispanic or Latino characters are always welcome, and she is thrilled to find accomplished illustrators with a fresh style who can tell a strong story in pictures to accompany a text.
