Send a Query to Katie Erickson at Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency

View this agent's QueryTracker profile.

I love receiving queries! Thank you for sending them my way. I open the first couple days of every month.

At this time, I am primarily seeking authors who also illustrate at a professional level for graphic novels, picture books, and non-fiction. Do not send me AI generated art. If you send me a picture book manuscript, please send it without pagination. Please make sure to attach a file or provide the link to a portfolio with your submission if you are a professional artist. Bonus points if its funny, think Phoebe and her Unicorn. 

Besides picture books, I'm looking for the next The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. I love fantasy, sci fi, cozy, funny, and contemporary. I am also interested in unique forms, such as novel in verse. Or middle grade books about gaming like Gamer or a moon/mars book like The Lion of Mars. 

No fae, sexual assault, graphic violence, nor pet deaths, please. 

Thank you for your interest in querying me after the PBParty event.

I am looking forward to reviewing your work,
Katie Erickson
