About: “Liza Pulitzer Voges has been a literary agent for childrens' book authors and illustrators for almost 30 years working with over 40 clients. Highlights of the years include Lois Ehlert's Caldecott Honor for COLOR ZOO; Gloria Whelan's National Book Award for HOMELESS BIRD; and Sucie Stevenson's E.B. White award for HENRY AND MUDGE AND THE GREAT GRANDPAS. The growth of authors such as Dan Gutman, Joan Holub, Suzanne Williams, Shutta Crum, and many others is what makes the job irresistible.

What a nice thorough profile. Thanks for posting. I'm on my way over to the site to check out more.
Hi, Casey. Thanks for this Spotlight. It always surprises me to see an agent who refuses to consider at e-queries.
Wow. I don't suppose you could go wrong with a Pulitzer in your name.
I know Shutta Crum, one of Liza's clients. Plus she's looking for middle grade fantasy so I'm definitely adding her to my list of agents. Thanks for the spotlight.
Thanks for introducing us to Ms. Pulitzer-Voges. Great spotlight. :D
It's so wonderful that you do these profiles. I never got a chance to thank you for doing one for my agent, Eric Myers. It was so helpful!
Liza seems great!
thanks for this, natalie. Another wonderful author spotlight.
Hmmm. Let's see, I'm looking for an agent...and I have an MG middle grade fantasy I'm looking to peddle. Thanks for the tip!
Their website now says e-mail only. Maybe I am looking at the wrong thing?
Lovingmama,
No, you're correct. It's e-mail only now. Her profile is overdue for an update - I'll try to get to it soon!
I was just at a conference with her last weekend. The current contact for queries/submissions is submissions@edenstreetlit.com . BTW, thanks Casey for having this awesome, resourceful blog : )
