Not So Secret Agent is an email newsletter all about the inside scoop on cookbook publishing from senior literary agent, Sally Ekus (that’s me!). Make sure we never miss the chance to connect. Subscribe!
Dear Not So Secret Agent readers,
A very special children’s book was published today! Ray: How Light Works by Emily Kate Moon is the third in her Science Pals series. You can learn all about this incredible author/illustrator here, and follow her on IG here.
Emily’s path to landing Jennifer Weltz as an agent speaks to the special nature of analog pitching and a captivating query (plus great material obvs!).
You might be thinking, Sally isn’t your Not So Secret Agent newsletter all about cookbook publishing?
Typically, yes! Though for longtime readers, you know this newsletter is meant to give a behind the scenes into book publishing through the lens of my day-to-day. Sometimes that includes pipettes and safety goggles!
While my role as senior literary agent at JVNLA is overseeing our culinary and lifestyle list, The Ekus Group, my colleagues represent a wide range of genres. It brings me great joy to celebrate books that have impacted my life with Maybelline. Even more fun is when those books offer the chance to share a window into book publishing with all of you!
I hope you watch the video and bring these science pals into your life in some way. Even if you don’t have a tiny human in your day to day, Drop, Puff, and Ray are grateful for your support.
Shine on!
~Sally~
