Katie began her career at Denise Marcil Literary Agency in 2005 and joined Don Congdon Associates as an agent in 2008. She is a member of the Association of American Literary Agents' (AALA), where she serves on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. She completed two terms on the AALA Board of Directors in 2023. Katie is currently President of the non-profit, Literary Agents of Change.

In non-fiction, she specializes in business (all areas), narrative non-fiction (particularly popular science, pop culture, memoir, and social/cultural issues), and self-help that focuses on success, motivation, and psychology. Katie is actively seeking new nonfiction clients with built-in platforms from whom she can learn something new. She only accepts fiction submissions by referral.

In all areas, she’s particularly interested in characters who struggle with dualities of nature and/or culture, as the topics of cognitive dissonance and those who straddle two different worlds fascinate her. She has soft spots for the Midwest, family secrets, and a good underdog story.

Please query only one agent within the agency at a time.
