Bio
Sharon Cowen-Cain
Frances has lots of talented artists under her representation. She is always speedy with helping me the find the perfect artist for my latest project and the negotiations are quick and easy. I will most definitely work with Fran again when looking for illustrators.
Aya Akazawa
Fran is one of my favorite people to work with. The artists she's representing are all impossibly talented and professional. And Fran always makes the creative and artistic work process go smooth. With Fran, everything is a joyful breeze (even negotiating fees and schedules!). She's also very personable. Although I haven't met her in person, I worked so many times with her and I think of her more like my trusty friend to whom I can turn to whenever I need illustrations. She's a gem!
