Hello, writers!

I feel so honored that you've considered me to potentially represent you and your work. Please check out my response times below.

I respond to each and every query no matter how long it takes, even if it is just a form response.

Unsolicited queries: up to 12 weeks
Partial manuscript requests: up to 4 months
Full manuscript requests: 6-8 months

Sincerely,

Kat
Hello and thank you so much for querying me!

I loved the concept I saw in your pitch and am so excited to read your sample pages.

Please be sure to upload your pages or else your query will end up in the wrong folder. This helps to keep my box organized as I review each item and helps separate my requested material from my general inbox. Also, please don't forget to state the name of the Pitch Contest and to copy and paste the original liked tweet, in addition to providing the query, synopsis, and requested pages.

I can't wait to dive in!
