Emily Mitchell is a literary agent with the Wernick & Pratt Agency. She lives in Massachusetts because of Anastasia Krupnik: after reading the eponymous classic dozens of times as a child, she got it in her head that going to college in Massachusetts was something she should do, so she did. Emily began her career at Sheldon Fogelman Agency, handling submissions, subsidiary rights, and coffee. She then spent eleven years at Charlesbridge Publishing as senior editor, contracts manager, and director of corporate strategy. Emily represents both authors and illustrators from picture books to YA, including Traci Sorell, Maia Kobabe, Caron Levis, Richard Ho, Van G. Garrett, Destiny Howell, and Sarah Lynne Reul. She also handles foreign rights, permissions, social media, and IT for the agency. Emily holds a bachelorÕs degree in English from Harvard, a masterÕs in secondary English education from Syracuse, and an MBA from Babson. She lives outside Boston with her family. Emily is accepting new clients in all genres for children.
