After receiving a BA in Writing, Literature, and Publishing from Emerson College, Kaitlyn refused to leave the concept of nightly homework behind. A literary agent for Belcastro Literary Agency, she is also a freelance editor at her own company, Strictly Textual. Kaitlyn started her literary journey as a copyeditor for academic publisher codeMantra, a YA editor for Accent Press, a Conference Assistant for GrubStreet, Boston, and has been agenting since 2016. She has written various articles for Writer's Digest and has had a flash fiction story published in the anthology A Box of Stars Beneath the Bed.
Examples of books she currently represents:
Her Little Flowers - Shannon Morgan; May the Best Man Win - Zabe Ellor; The Star Society - Gabriella Saab
Kaitlyn is looking for:
I love a book with great voice that helps me feel I'm under the characters skin. My favorite stories include characters that are complex, with layered growth. This can mean coming of age, redemption arcs, villains, etc. I love to come away feeling like the book has given me something to think about long after the end.
Kaitlyn is not looking for:
I don't want abuse stories (sexual or drug). No overly religious texts unless in a fantasy focus. No picture or chapter books. No hard core sci fi.
