A self-described "literary change agent," April Eberhardt founded her own agency in order to assist and advise authors as they navigate the increasingly complex world of publishing. 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 options for agent-assisted independent publishing.

April works with serious authors who recognize the need for professional support, and the importance of publishing in the highest-quality way, be it traditionally or independently. Agent-vetted manuscripts help independently-published authors stand out from the millions of others, and contribute to raising the bar for independent publishing, garnering recognition and sales for those authors who understand and commit to "self-publishing, done right."

While the agency isn't accepting unsolicited submissions just now, manuscripts presented at literary conferences, including the Writers Digest Pitch Slam, the San Francisco Writers Conference, The Muse & the Marketplace literary conference in Boston, the Pacific Northwest Writers Conference in Seattle, and the Willamette Conference in Portland, OR will be considered.

We look forward to reading your best work!
