In 2021, when I mentioned on Twitter that the founder of this literary agency has no experience in book publishing listed in her literary agency website's bio (while neither naming the agency nor the agent), Victoria shared my post to her own audience with her rebuttal. This encouraged one of Victoria's (now-former) picture book writer clients to tag the CEO of my (now-ex) employer on Twitter, writing:

"@[CEO] and @[Employer] I'm not sure if you've seen the defamatory remarks going around Twitter from one of your employees about Storm Literary Agency, but I wanted to let you know it's worth taking a look at."

This picture book author ex-client of Victoria's also vaguely insinuated I was a murderer on Twitter, then threatened to sue me, then got dropped as a client by Victoria and Storm.

Victoria has never apologized to me. Neither has Storm. They issued a vague statement saying that they don't condone "retaliation nor bullying," hence them letting their PB author go. They did not name me. They did not explain why their behavior was wrong. They did not mention Victoria's wielding of her social media status, as well as her literary agent status, as a weapon against a writer (hi!) who she didn't know making a good-faith point that literary agencies should be founded by people with experience in the book publishing industry.

(The ex-client picture book author referred to throughout this is Lisa D. Kerr, author of picture book "Wake, Sleepy One: California Poppies and the Super Bloom.")
