Rod Fox Literary is a small agency specializing in picture books, middle grade and young adult novels. Well-known children’s book blogger Danielle Smith has just joined Red Fox Literary this month (March 2014), and like all newer agents, she needs authors.

Danielle’s blog There’s a Book, is dedicated to reviewing children’s books, so this has given her a wide knowledge of the children’s book market. Danielle was previously with Foreword Literary where she sold Julie Falatko’s highly anticipated picture book Snappsy the Alligator (Did Not Ask to Be in This Book) in a pre-empt to Viking Children’s Books.

Danielle is looking for both authors and illustrators working in genres from board books to picture books to young adult novels.
