“For several years now, Kelly and I have been working to set the groundwork for our agency’s next chapter. And after almost five decades in book publishing, it is the right time to turn the agency over,” says Andrea Brown. “Kelly has shown great leadership and innovative thinking, which has fostered our growth to 16 agents.”

“It is a tremendous honor to continue the legacy that Andrea began over four decades ago. Her generous leadership has given this agency an incredibly strong foundation and along with the amazing team of agents and unrivaled roster of talent we have, ABLA has become a powerhouse,” says Kelly Sonnack. “I look forward to guiding the agency into a new chapter of growth and success, always keeping our creators at the core of our mission. As one of the oldest running agencies on the West Coast, I’m also very proud that we will keep this strong agency based in California.”

🎉 BIG NEWS! 🎉

Kelly Sonnack has been announced as the new owner and president of Andrea Brown Literary Agency

YESSS!! i don’t hear it mentioned often either but it’s SO GOOD. one of my fav rewatches for sure

text grid graphic with nine squares. the middle square reads MSWL. the others list: anything (illustrations or text, from PB through YA) from Latinx creators; anything that can be comped to THE HALF OF IT; cleverly subverted tropes; give me all the queer stories!!; kids growing up in small towns and/or rural areas; characters who feel “in-between”; queer YA with the vibes of ICE PRINCESS, BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM, or BLUE CRUSH; and Jess Mariano-esque characters.

Happy #MSWL day!! I’m Analía, an associate agent at @andreabrownlit.bsky.social. It’s hard to choose one dream project (I want it all!!), but here are some elements +/or vibes I would love to read! open to PB, MG, and YA ✨ see more here:
