Agent
In-Person Conference
Based in San Francisco, California, Sally M. Kim is an Associate Agent at Andrea Brown Literary Agency. She is looking to represent a wide range of children’s book authors, illustrators, and author-illustrators from picture books up through middle grade. Drawn to stories with a distinct voice and unexpected wit, Sally’s favorite books showcase aggressive pacing and punchy, emotionally resonant endings. When it comes to illustration, Sally gravitates towards versatile artists using traditional mediums and those with a unique take on color, texture, perspective, and thoughtful details. Please send Sally fiction and non-fiction submissions in the following categories: picture books, chapter books, middle grade, and graphic novels. Across all categories, Sally is especially eager to see authentic explorations of underrepresented cultures, relationships, and identities. Prior to joining Andrea Brown, Sally spent more than fifteen years in children’s book marketing and publicity at a variety of publishers including Macmillan, Penguin, and Chronicle Books.
