April Eberhardt joined Kimberley Cameron & Associates as a Literary Agent in 2008 after five years of editorial work with Zoetrope: All-Story, a literary magazine, and another agency. She moved to agenting in order to help new voices find their place in the literary world. Her specialty is adult commercial and literary fiction, particularly contemporary urban fiction, ironic family dramas and realistic midlife tales, often with a twist, preferably involving strong female characters. She is attracted to collections of interlinked stories with a common character or theme. An original voice and smart, speedy delivery are critical, as is a subtle sense of the absurd. She enjoys working with new authors to edit and streamline their manuscripts before submitting them to publishers. While April does consider selected non-fiction and YA crossover works, she generally does not represent mysteries or murders, thrillers or fantasy, Westerns or romances, nor does she represent children's titles.

April earned an MBA in Finance and Marketing from Boston University, a BA in Anthropology and French from Hamilton College, and a CPLF degree from the University of Paris. Her prior careers in banking and management consulting honed her strategic, marketing and presentation skills and serve her well in her literary endeavors.

April attends an average of one dozen conferences each year, participating as a speaker and faculty member. Her favorite aspect of conferences is meeting new authors and hearing their stories.

In March 2010 agent Sally van Haitsma founded van Haitsma Literary, a boutique agency located in Encinitas, California. She previously agented six years at the Castiglia Literary Agency and prior to that, apprenticed at the Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency.

Sally has represented, among others, the NYTimes bestseller Wesley the Owl by Stacey O'Brien (Simon & Schuster); Silverstein & Me by Marv Gold (Red Hen Press); America Libre and House Divided by Raul Ramos y Sanchez (Grand Central); Hick by Andrea Portes (Unbridled Books, optioned for film); NATO 2.0 by Sarwar Kashmeri (Potomac Books); and The Leisure Seeker by Michael Zadoorian (HarperCollins, optioned for film).

Actively seeking new authors, Sally is interested in commercial and literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, education, business and current affairs. She has a Masters in Communication from UC San Diego and graduated Phi Beta Kappa.
