Eloy Bleifuss Prados

An agent with Neon Literary (see other agents at this agency).

About

Eloy Bleifuss Prados, Literary Agent & Foreign Rights Coordinator, represents both fiction and nonfiction.

Most of all, Eloy is looking for writers, whether of fiction or nonfiction, who are clear-eyed about the realities of the world but still hold onto a certain amount of hard-earned hope. He also has a special affinity for writers who look beyond borders and write stories about crossing or existing between countries and cultures.

Prior to joining Neon, Eloy worked at Janklow & Nesbit Associates for five years and at Simon & Schuster for another two before then. Born and raised in Chicago, he is a graduate of Vassar College, and he has spent periods teaching English in Madrid and studying in Montevideo. Eloy now lives in (well, surprise) Brooklyn.

This agent may not respond to all queries. After waiting 28 days, assume your submission will not be accepted.

Collapse section Nonfiction Open

In nonfiction, Eloy is always eager to be introduced to an under-explored subject, no matter the exact field of study—so long as the writer can make their passion infectious. He’s looking for obsessives who can take a single topic and explode it into a vast, multidisciplinary inquiry—whether they’re writing about science, the arts, pop culture, history, or current events. He is especially drawn to the works of experts writing authoritatively and legibly about complex systems like capitalism, identity, and the climate crisis in a way that renders them down to the human scale.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
