April Eberhardt Literary specializes in high-quality women's fiction: thoughtful, carefully crafted narratives by, for, and about women, the kind of books that generate interest and insights among women's book club members. The agency also represents selected Young Adult works, particularly those aimed at prompting meaningful discussion between mothers and daughters about relationships, values and decision-making.

As readers and publishers choose among the many ways literature is being delivered in the new millennium, authors need a literary agent who understands both the traditional and electronic marketplaces, along with the evolving role of self-publishing, done right. April Eberhardt founded her own agency in order to assist and advise authors as they navigate the increasingly complex world of publishing.

While the agency isn't accepting unsolicited submissions just now, manuscripts presented ("pitched") at conferences, including the upcoming James River Writers' Conference in Richmond, VA and the SEAK Conference in Hyannis, MA, will be considered first.

We look forward to reading your best work!
