12 x 12 Contributor

Becca Langton

Becca Langton is based in London but has a US focus and is the North American agent for the Darley Anderson Children’s Book Agency. She looking for new stories in all shapes and sizes, from middle grade and graphic novel to teen and YA fiction. Becca reads widely but loves books with compelling voices, unexpected twists and unforgettable characters. For younger readers she love/hates the books that make her cry and is on the search for stories with emotional depth, dark humour and clever wit and stories that stay with you beyond the final page. I am looking for stories that are layered with writing and art for both the child and their grown up.
