Fiction Open

Katie focuses on representing commercial fiction for young adult and adult markets in the areas of upmarket women’s fiction, book club fiction, romance, psychological / domestic suspense, thrillers, and coming-of-age stories. She is particularly drawn to contemporary storylines.

She is always on the hunt for strong voices and imperfect characters. She wants honest, sincere, and emotionally raw characters, holding nothing back. She is looking for modern ideas with social issues to contemplate, complex family dynamics to digest, and people’s lives to dig into for a moment while she reevaluates her own.

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.
