Kate Foster The last time the agent had an active listing on Duotrope, the agent was affiliated with Storm Literary Agency (see other agents at this agency). Permanently Closed: This agent is no longer accepting queries (March 2021). We provide the following information as an archive. About Kate has always been a nerdy bookworm, a kid who read through classes and late at night beneath the bed covers with a flashlight. Writing was also a passion from an early age, but one that was done secretly for the most part as she was convinced only rich "chosen ones" could become authors. As a kid who didn't finish school, it wasn't until she was a wrinkly, wise(ish) grown-up when Kate decided to embrace her love of all things writing and work toward making books her career. She gradually nurtured her own passion for mentoring new writers, and has worked successfully as a freelance editor for many years. Being able to work alongside writers and watch their skills and voices develop is a dream come true and she can't wait to continue this as an agent. Kate grew up in a small town in the south east of England to a working class family and gained much life experience through a variety of jobs. At a young age she met her husband and began raising their three sons. She now continues this role on the stunning Gold Coast in Australia where she's added two rescue dogs to her family. Kate is also a children's author represented by Alice Sutherland-Hawes at the Madeleine Milburn Literary Agency in London. Some of her favorite kidlit titles include: Forget Me Not (Ellie Terry), The Crossover, The Light Jar, Crater Lake, Break the Fall, The Middler, Orangeboy, and Rules for Vanishing Country International Fiction Closed Mainly on middle grade at the moment, but she will consider a select few YA and chapter books. Kate falls for voice and characters before plot. Top of her list are funny books, but she is also seeking sports and adventure stories (e.g. a modern Goonies) as well as creepy horror, twisty mysteries, and clever fantasies grounded in our world. She wants stories with strong friendships, body positivity, characters with a wicked sense of humor, and nerdy kids with a passion for and knowledge of science, in particular the weather. Most importantly, Kate wants to build a diverse list of underrepresented voices from all over the world, and very much welcomes submissions from disabled and neurodivergent authors, authors of color, LGBTQI authors, and authors who battle mental health issues.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Middle grades, Young adults.Genres: General Open to all/most Subgenres Action-Adventure Open to all/most Subgenres Fantasy Open to all/most Subgenres Horror Open to all/most Subgenres Mystery/Crime Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Humorous, Literary, Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Method: Electronic submissions.
