EVE ADLER worked as an editor for over 16 years before becoming an agent. She edited books mostly for ages 0-12 at Macmillan, Penguin Random House, and Union Square Kids, including a NY Book Show Merit award winner, a New York Times Bestseller, an Amazon Best Book of the Year, a Sydney Taylor Notable Picture Book, and many titles that garnered starred reviews. In 2015, Eve was a Publishers Weekly Star Watch Honoree.
Eve is building her list with authors and illustrators of board books, picture books, chapter books, graphic novels, and middle grade projects. She’s drawn to stories that make kids feel comforted, loved, and understood; to diverse voices; to ideas that break the mold; to projects that meet kids where they are developmentally; and to books that expand kids’ worlds while helping them understand their own.
After years of working in-house, Eve loves how agenting offers the ability to discover talent anywhere, to develop ideas with authors and illustrators, and to find the right home for projects, whether at big or small publishers. She’s looking forward to being an advisor and cheerleader for clients throughout their careers, and is eager to find new talent!
