Testimonials

  • Katie’s vast knowledge of the literary landscape has been invaluable in helping me develop and pitch my first middle grade book and make the move from illustrator to author. Her maturity, encouragement and passion for storytelling has really broadened my own approach to writing. Working with her is a true delight!

  • Katie is a breath of fresh air in a very overwhelming industry. When you have an agent one of the most important things about them is to be sure that you can learn from them. And I personally learn from Katie every day. From knowing more about publishing, to improving my writing, to understanding the ins and outs of storytelling, she’s always sure to take her time and explain to me everything I need to know.

  • Writing can, at times, be a very lonely and isolating pursuit, but Katie has the incredible ability of making you feel as though you’re in a team, never alone and always supported. It’s impossible not to get infected with her passion and endless enthusiasm, like she’s some kind of super-spreader - but instead of viral loads, it’s big ideas. I owe a lot to Katie and will always be grateful to her.
