Adriana Stimola

Literary Agent

Adriana (she/her) grew up in a bookstore, was a teen witch, and spent her tweens in the family restaurant. Good stories, connection to the numinous, and good food are the basis of her creative constitution.

Adriana is passionate about ushering stories into being, building creative relationships, and helping to put forth words and images that make lasting impressions and grow our cultural, social and emotional intelligence.

I'm currently representing adult non-fiction in the realms of food, wellness, spirituality and lifestyle. I am interested in: cookbooks & stories that celebrate food, food culture & food history ; books that highlight mindful & modern approaches to life; oracle decks & interactive spiritual practice tools; non-fiction projects that bring forth previously untold stories; art & design; books that help us become better human beings. In addition, I represent select illustrators looking for work in adult non-fiction.

Before agenting, Adriana was the Content Manager at Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture where she produced written & visual material to connect audiences with farm-driven eating, and worked in partnership with Dan Barber's Blue Hill Restaurant on farmer-chef story collaborations. Before that she was an editorial assistant at Little, Brown. She earned a BA from Emerson College where she double-majored in Media Production & Performance with a minor in Poetry (which she still writes).
