About Abigail Frank
Abigail Frank is an associate agent at Sanford J. Greenburger Associates, where she joined the agency in 2017. A graduate of Swarthmore College, she works with Faith Hamlin and represents books for children and adults. Frank is particularly interested in distinctive, unconventional work that approaches familiar subjects in unexpected ways and encourages readers to see the world from new perspectives.
Her interests include original picture books, chapter books with strong personalities, young adult fiction, graphic novels, and stories featuring memorable characters and romantic elements. For picture books, she is especially interested in author-illustrators, lyrical and inventive texts that work well when read aloud, and visual art with a distinctive aesthetic, particularly creative uses of color. She actively seeks work from authors and artists with marginalized identities. Frank also represents select adult projects, including highly visual or gift-oriented nonfiction, genre-defying nonfiction, lightly speculative fiction, commercial romantic comedies, and books examining work, economics, and capitalism.
