Janine Kamouh

Janine has been part of the WME Books Department since 2012, where she was lucky enough to get her start on the amazing international rights team. Her list now focuses in the children’s, illustrated, and graphic novel spaces, where she has the honor and pleasure of representing bestselling and award-winning authors, illustrators, animators, creators, artists, and multi-hyphenates. She is looking for stories that reach readers on both a head and heart level; picture books that can stand the test of being read over and over again; resonant storytelling that opens the door to important conversations with peers/parents; laugh out loud middle grade; bold and visually propulsive graphic novel fiction and non-fiction; sidekicks in the driver’s seat; timeless adventure; fumbly, funny, butterfly-inducing YA and crossover romance; and fantasy where real people are thrust into magical mayhem. Janine lives in NJ with her husband and their two little bookworms.
