Send a Query to Kaitlyn Katsoupis at Belcastro Agency

View this agent's QueryTracker profile.
Thank you so much for considering me for your representation! If I have not responded by 3 months at the earliest, feel free to check in. Be sure that your query is 1 page, the synopsis is no more than 2 double spaced pages, and the first 5 pages are the very first ones from your book (if you have a prologue, send Ch 1 and then send the prologue if I request more)! I also ask that you include any trigger warnings necessary for your title up to but not only including suicide/suicide ideation, animal death, on-page rape or abuse. Including these does not ensure a pass, but it does help myself and my readers to prepare for the subject matter.

If submitting a graphic novel, give me the pitch, synopsis of the full story, 5 pages of script, and any available artwork samples. If artwork file is too big to upload, feel free to put a link in your query where I can view it.

What I really want to hear most are your book details—character, conflict, and consequences—with a brief bio. Also, save the reply email that allows you to check your query status! This is also the link that will allow you to message me to report if you've received an alternate offer.
