The Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency is a New York City-based full-service literary agency founded in
2001. The agency represents children’s literature for all ages – picture books
and middle-grade and young adult novels – but also represents high-quality
adult fiction and nonfiction in a wide range of genres. JDLA is proud to
represent illustrators, as well as screenwriters for both television and film,
including Emmy and Peabody Award-winning writers and illustrators.
Bre Stephens is the newest member
of the team, and like all new agents, she needs authors.

educator, literary judge, and editor. She has worked as an
Editor-in-Chief of a literary magazine and has taught university composition,
technical writing, and creative writing. Bre holds an MA in English and
Creative Writing, an M.Ed. in ESL, and a BA in Art History. In her spare
time, she loves attending Japanese festivals and learning more about world
cultures.
