Agent Spotlight & Agent Spotlight Updates
All Agent Spotlights & Interviews have been updated as of 7/15/2020, and many have been reviewed by the agents. Look for them to be fully updated in 2023.
Agent Spotlight: Michael Stearns
Profile removed. Mr. Stearns is no longer directly representing authors (see comments below).
Casey, I really appreciate your "Quotables" section. Very informative. Thanks. And, Kristi, I agree. Mr. Stearns does give helpful speeches at SCBWI events (some of his tips from the speech I heard are listed on his now defunct As the World Stearns blog).
Michael here (was looking for a link to something I did and this came up). I'm no longer taking on any clients whatsoever; that's why many people have never heard from me—other responsibilities are too great. I still manage the agency, sell our foreign rights, am the eminence grise for the agents here, and do all sorts of related tasks. But direct representation? No longer.
Strong work, Casey. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Michael ROCKS!!!
ReplyDeleteI just saw him speak at an SCBWI conference and he was fabulous! As far as agent go - he'd be a great catch.

ReplyDeletelove these posts!
ReplyDeleteI'm always impressed how you are able to take all this information and boil it down into an easy to read blurb. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThere is a ton of valuable information on your blog. This is my first visit.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments everyone. I'm glad you all enjoyed the spotlight!
ReplyDeleteAppreciated the post on Michael Sterns. Great blog.
ReplyDeleteFYI, I just read on the Upstart Crow blog that he's only accepting queries through conference submissions and client referrals.
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily! He's on my list of profiles I need to update. I'll try to get to it soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Casey,

Thanks for the astonishingly thorough profile!

Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and letting me know. I'll take the profile down lest anyone think you're still representing authors.
All best,
Casey
