Literary Agent

Keely is a Senior Literary Agent at WordServe Literary, where she has been representing writers since 2016. She is passionate about partnering with authors to develop books that connect with readers, find success with publishers, delight our imaginations, and create real change in the world.

Keely is drawn to books that bring new ideas and voices to the table, change our perspectives, and broaden our experiences.

She represents a wide range of genres and subjects for both general and faith audiences, particularly in the areas of literature and the arts, theology, health and wellness, spiritual formation, and the intersection of faith and culture.

Keely also represents a very small number of picture books, middle grade, and young adult fiction. In children’s literature, she is drawn to contemporary stories that take on perennial questions in a new way, excite the imagination, and allow children to see themselves in the book’s pages, perhaps for the first time.
