Amy Stern

Amy Stern works with clients who write and illustrate all kinds of children's literature, from picturebook through young adult, in poetry, prose, and graphic formats.

She joined the Sheldon Fogelman Agency in 2010 as an agent assistant after receiving masters degrees in children's literature and library and information science from Simmons College and completing an agency internship.

Since then she has worked her way up to managing clients on her own, while also handling all agency permissions.

Before she began her journey to agenting, Amy double majored in English and Creative Writing at Bryn Mawr College and worked at libraries and bookstores.

She has served as a mentor for the Simmons College Center for the Study of Children's Literature's MFA program, and regularly participates in conferences and conventions.
