Founder & Literary Agent: Tina P. Schwartz

Agent Tina P. Schwartz admits to being a reluctant reader as a child. In fact, she says she is still very picky when it comes to  choosing a book, and isn't afraid to judge one (at first) by its cover!
         
Ask her kids, and they won't believe you!  They'll tell you her nose is constantly in a book, or staring at her Kindle Fire, her iPad mini, or even reading mss on her phone! When not reading manuscripts, marketing website, social media, or  industry blogs, you can find Schwartz on her laptop enjoying her own writing  time. (She's written 10 traditionally published books.)
         
Schwartz is an active member of the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI).  Tina says, "I'm thrilled to have founded The Purcell Agency, LLC and look  forward to reading many wonderful submissions from  talent all over the world!"
