Keifer Ludwig has come a long way from writing elementary school plays where he blatantly pirated Star Wars plots. Now, as Subrights Associate and Literary Assistant to Suzie Townsend, he is a fierce advocate for New Leaf’s authors, licensing their stories to publishers all around the world. He is most drawn to fantasy – either cozy and sweet or epic, twisty, and riddled with betrayal. He’s also a sucker for big-hearted romance (contemporary or paranormal), silly rom-coms and anything genre-blending.
He enjoys running, playing board games and basketball (go Nets!), and hanging with the family dogs.
Prior to New Leaf, Keifer worked at Random House Children’s Books and Vigliano Associates. And before that, he graduated from Oberlin College with a BA in Religion.
