Allison Wortche

Agent: Erica Rand Silverman

Allison Wortche has been a part of children's publishing for 20 years. She worked with talented authors and illustrators at Random House Children's Books for over a decade, and she now divides her time between freelance editing and writing.

Allison's stories are inspired by childhood memories and by her two daughters—how they see the world, navigate emotions, care for others, and find joy in even the smallest things. Her picture books include Ruby and the Itsy-Bitsy Icky Bug, illustrated by Sally Walker; Oliver’s Lollipop, illustrated by Andrés Landazábal; Rosie Sprout’s Time to Shine, illustrated by Patrice Barton; and Bear In the Air, illustrated by Cat Min (Fall 2025). 

She lives with her family in Westchester, NY.
