Representation by Joanna Volpe

I am extremely excited to announce: "I am officially represented by Joanna Stampfel-Volpe at New Leaf Literary & Media!" ♥


Since last summer, I have begun my agents-research.  The agents I was in contact with were all very knowledgeable and extremely nice.  I am truly grateful they took their valuable time looking over my work.  Thank you.  I continue to love the work of the talents you represented, and I wish you the very best.

A week after attending the New York SCBWI conference, I received an email from Joanna.  She saw my portfolio at the conference and was interested in seeing more of my work/dummy.  I thanked her for her interest and emailed her the materials.  She replied with great feedback.  We conversed over the phone, and it was wonderful talking to her.  Joanna had a magical ability to bring out my creative courage as a storyteller.  She asked to see if I have any other stories up my sleeves.  I emailed her a few more dummies.

The detailed notes I received from her were incredible.  Her grasp of how stories should work, could work, and would work, was a mind-opener's dream of a mind-opener!

Long story short, I am now happily (ecstatically!!!) part of the New Leaf family.  I look forward to working with Joanna and her great team at New Leaf!
