Hello there!

I know stories are deeply personal and sacred, so I am truly grateful to be considered in your agent search.

I represent both genre fiction and non-fiction. The common DNA uniting my list is stories that explore darkness with a sense of curiosity, humor and hope. I am passionate about finding underrepresented voices and stories that celebrate resistance and love. If you think that's you, I look forward to reading. But I have also found the best stories come in forms that you least expect, so even if yours is not explicitly in my Manuscript Wishlist - but does sit in the genres I represent - I encourage you to try anyway! You never know!

I do respond to all queries through Query Manager as soon as I am able. To ensure you receive my communication please clear query@querytracker.com from your spam filters so you don’t miss any emails.

The best piece of advice I can give is to make sure your query has a good hook. Imagine browsing the aisles of a bookstore and picking up a book at random. You read that first sentence of bold cover copy and feel a rush of curiosity. For me, the best query letters give me that feeling. That compulsive need to keep reading to find out more. 

Thank you again for giving me the chance to review your work!

Best wishes,

Keifer Ludwig
