About Eva
“Championing joyful, high-concept bestsellers in YA and romances with heart, humor, and emotional authenticity”
A Leo Sun, Libra Moon with a Scorpio rising, my chart describes me as a charismatic and powerful person who is also diplomatic and emotionally complex. I’ve been reading romance since the fifth grade when I discovered the Sweet Valley High series. My lifelong love of the genre meant that I inherited my beloved grandmother’s collection of vintage Harlequin Romances.
I have a B.A. in the Humanities from the University of Puerto Rico and an M.A. in Publishing and Writing from Emerson College. Since graduating, my work in scholarly publishing allowed me to develop a keen sense of client and portfolio management, and my voracious and speedy reading keeps aware of market trends.
I am a member of the AALA and SCBWI. With the AALA, I serve on the AALA Board of Directors and am the Editor-in-Chief of the AALA Newsletter as well as the chair of the Social Media Subcommittee; I am also a member of the Communications Committee and People of Publishing Conference Special Committee.
I joined Speilburg Literary in 2013, and started accepting clients in 2018. My responsibilities include developing relationships, managing careers, and building a list that includes #1 New York Times, Indie, USA Today, and international bestsellers. My clients write unputdownable books that spark joy and warmth even when they make your heart ache.
I’m looking for voice-driven YA and crossover romance and romantasy that balances heart, humor, and hope—stories where falling in love helps characters discover who they are.
Think high-concept setups with emotional depth: the summer that changes everything, the cruise that goes hilariously off course, the fantasy quest that doubles as a love story, or the school play that blurs the line between acting and truth.
I love lush, escapist settings—coastal towns, vibrant cities, magical kingdoms, faraway ships—and stories that make readers feel like they’re on an adventure while falling in love.
My ideal submission has a strong romantic arc, sharp banter, and a joyful tone even when exploring grief or growth. Queer and diverse voices are always welcome, as well as stories featuring invisible chronic conditions; at my core, I want stories that celebrate love in all its forms.
In Adult Fiction, I represent Romance (all subgenres but inspirational), Fantasy, and select Upmarket/Women’s Fiction and Mystery/Thriller. I also represents all subgenres of Young Adult Fiction and select Middle Grade Fiction (literary and fantasy).
