The Storyteller Talent Difference
Hollywood Meets Publishing
Founded by Kayla Bramante, who brings years of entertainment industry experience from representing talent at Matchstick in Los Angeles, we understand how to position intellectual property for maximum value across all media. This unique perspective allows us to see opportunities others might miss.
Selective by Design
We exclusively represent women and non-binary authors, maintaining a deliberately small roster to ensure every client receives the attention they deserve. When you work with us, you're not a number in a database...you're a partner whose success is our primary focus.
Commission-Only Integrity
We only succeed when you succeed. Our standard 15% domestic and 20% foreign commission structure means our interests are perfectly aligned with yours. No reading fees, no hidden costs...just transparent, ethical representation.
Comprehensive Rights Management
Your book is more than a single product...it's intellectual property with value across multiple markets and media. We actively pursue all opportunities to maximize your work's potential.
Foreign Rights
Global translation deals through our international co-agent network
Film & TV
Hollywood connections for option and adaptation opportunities
Audio Rights
Audiobook deals with major publishers and platforms
Digital & Serial
E-book, serialization, and emerging format opportunities
