Literary Agents Accepting Picture Book Submissions 2024-2025
Picture book authors sometimes fail to get offers for representation, or get offers from great agents, because they make false assumptions. For example, some authors of picture book believe the most successful picture book agents won’t give new picture book authors’ careers the attention they deserve. That’s not usually true. And it’s usually better to be represented by a powerful picture book agent with strong connections and a strong track record of sales, rather than one who’s with no track record who’s just getting established.
Consider querying the most powerful picture book agents and the most established picture book literary agencies. Don’t assume the most influential and successful picture book agents won’t offer to represent you or read your book. Even if you’re unpublished or a new picture book author. Some picture book publishing agents will be permanently closed or temporarily closed to queries. But not most of them. I know because I’ve helped approximately 150 authors, including picture book with little or no platform, and no publishing history, get offers for representation from some of the most powerful picture book agencies and agents.

You picture book should also be age-appropriate, suitable for young readers age 3-8. That’s the target market for picture books.
In other words, your book’s vocabulary, sentence length, and sentence structure should be geared toward that audience. And your picture book shouldn’t have too many characters because kids aren’t able to keep track of too many.
