Agent Bio
Lori Kilkelly founded LK Literary Agency in 2018 after a near‑decade at Rodeen Literary Management, where she assembled a list of bestselling and award‑winning authors and illustrators.
In 2008 she left advertising and sales to study at The Denver Publishing Institute (University of Denver), then secured an internship that grew into a long tenure at RLM.
Backed by RLM, she launched her own agency in 2018 with her clients joining her.
With more than 200 books sold to every major trade publisher, she is dedicated to bringing meaningful, funny, informative, and moving children’s and young adult literature to market.
