Have a book to pitch? Come visit the Louisville Book Festival on Saturday, October 24, 2026 and pitch to Keifer Ludwig of BookEnds Literary! Link in bio! Session spots are available now! Read more about him and the kinds of pitches he'll be ready to hear below. KEIFER LUDWIG Bio: Keifer Ludwig is a Literary Agent and Audio Manager at BookEnds and, most importantly, a fierce advocate for his authors. He first fell in love with book publishing at 18, when he interned at a literary agency. Since, he’s worked at multiple bookstores, Penguin Random House, and New Leaf Literary before finding his home at BookEnds. He believes in speaking truth to power and that books are one of the few things that can actually change how someone sees the world. He represents both commercial fiction and non-fiction. In both, he is passionate about finding underrepresented voices, high-concept hooks, and pacy stories that explore either darkness and/or love with humor and hope. In fiction, he acquires anything genre or genre-adjacent, namely Mystery/Thriller, Romance, and Sci-Fi/Fantasy. In non-fiction, he will look at anything written by an expert in one’s field or that conveys important scientific, political, historical, or social ideas with an accessible, storyteller-first voice. A native New Yorker and diehard Yankees/Nets fan, he is still finding ways to fall in love with the city he grew up in. He enjoys nerding out over Andor and Avatar the Last Airbender, stand-up comedy and board games, and the four most essential things in life: dogs, food, people, and books. Amen. Keifer acquires broadly across Adult, New Adult, and YA. In fiction, he is looking for anything genre or genre-adjacent, namely Mystery/Thriller, Science Fiction/Fantasy, and Romance. In nonfiction, he is looking for anything written by an expert in one’s field or that conveys important scientific, political, historical, or social ideas with an accessible, storyteller-first voice. Please note he only accepts memoir by referral. For More Information: https://www.bookendsliterary.com/submissions #louisvillebookfestival #literaryagentpitches

Have a book to pitch? Come visit the Louisville Book Festival on Saturday, October 24, 2026 and pitch to Eva Scalzo of Speilburg Literary! Link in bio! Session spots are available now! Read more about her and the kinds of pitches she'll be ready to hear below. EVA SCALZO Bio: A Leo Sun, Libra Moon, with a Scorpio rising, my chart describes me as a charismatic and powerful person who is also diplomatic and emotionally complex. I’ve been reading romance since the fifth grade when I discovered the Sweet Valley High series. My lifelong love of the genre meant that I inherited my beloved grandmother’s collection of vintage Harlequin Romances. I have a B.A. in the Humanities from the University of Puerto Rico and an M.A. in Publishing and Writing from Emerson College. Since graduating, my work in scholarly publishing allowed me to develop a keen sense of client and portfolio management, and my voracious and speedy reading keeps me aware of market trends. I am a member of the AALA and SCBWI. With the AALA, I serve on the AALA Board of Directors and am the Editor-in-Chief of the AALA Newsletter as well as the chair of the Social Media Subcommittee; I am also a member of the Communications Committee and People of Publishing Conference Special Committee. I’m looking for voice-driven YA and crossover romance and romantasy that balances heart, humor, and hope—stories where falling in love helps characters discover who they are. Think high-concept setups with emotional depth: the summer that changes everything, the cruise that goes hilariously off course, the fantasy quest that doubles as a love story, or the school play that blurs the line between acting and truth. I love lush, escapist settings—coastal towns, vibrant cities, magical kingdoms, faraway ships—and stories that make readers feel like they’re on an adventure while falling in love. My ideal submission has a strong romantic arc, sharp banter, and a joyful tone even when exploring grief or growth. Queer and diverse voices are always welcome, as well as stories featuring invisible chronic conditions; at my core, I want stories that celebrate love in all its forms. In Adult Fiction, I represent Romance (all subgenres but inspirational), Fantasy, and select Upmarket/Women’s Fiction and Mystery/Thriller. I also represent all subgenres of Young Adult Fiction and select Middle Grade Fiction (literary and fantasy). Accepting: Young Adult, New Adult, Adult commercial fiction - primary genres are romance, fantasy, mystery/thriller, light horror For More Information: https://www.evascalzo.com/mswl
