About the Agency

Storyteller Talent Agency

A boutique literary agency representing career-minded authors across publishing, audio, foreign and translation rights, and film/television opportunities.

Agency Focus

Storyteller Talent Agency represents selected authors and story-driven intellectual property with a focus on long-term career strategy. The agency evaluates books not only for domestic publishing potential, but also for audio, foreign and translation, and screen opportunities where the project and author platform support that broader path.

The agency is commission-based for represented clients. Authors do not pay reading fees, submission fees, application fees, or retainers to be considered for representation.

Before focusing full-time on Storyteller Talent Agency, founder Kayla Bramante led Matchstick MGMT, a Los Angeles-based management firm representing writers and performers in the entertainment industry.
