Breezers in the Neighborhood: MARCH!

Isn't it March that comes in like a lion? I'm sure the expression has more to do with weather than writer/illustrator happenings, but Southern Breeze is roaring in this month!

#SpringMingle - Agent Adriana Dominguez - #SBreeze17

Come Soar with Andriana Dominguez

Ready for your query to soar? Then fly to sign up for Springmingle and catch a session with one of our awesome agents!

Adriana Domínguez is much more than an agent at Full Circle Literary. She has 20 years of experience in publishing!

Prior to becoming an agent, she was Executive Editor at HarperCollins Children’s Books. Before that, she was Children’s Reviews Editor at Críticas magazine, published by Library Journal. She’s also done editorial work for both children and adult publishers and she’s a professional translator, a member of the Brooklyn Literary Council that organizes the Brooklyn Book Festival, and one of the founders of the Comadres and Compadres Writers Conference in New York City.

Whew! All that experience makes Dominguez one of our awesome agents! She represents children’s books for all ages, and select adult fiction and nonfiction. She has a long trajectory of publishing underrepresented authors and illustrators, and welcomes submissions that offer diverse points of view. Books that she has edited or represented have been awarded the Pura Belpré Medal, the Coretta Scott King Honor and the MPIBA’s Reading the West Award among others, and been finalists for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the NAACP Award.

Her session on Saturday is “The Query Quandary: Acquiring an Agent.” But if you want to know more about this quandary, you’ll just have to join us in Decatur, March 10th-12th at Springmingle, the only conference in Southern Breeze for 2017!
