I represent illustrators and illustrator-authors who are primarily interested in working on picture books and graphic novels!

We’d be a good match if you enjoy wholesome chaos. Let’s make books for the kids who get in trouble for their imagination, the next generation of mad scientists, supervillains, and witches at the end of the street. Keep scrolling below for my Bookshelf Mood Board to give you an idea of the kinds of books I’m looking to represent!

You can query me at querykait@ktliterary.com. Please tell me a bit about yourself and where you are on your publishing journey, attach your book dummy if you are working on one, include a link to your website/portfolio, and tell me some of your favorite books!! :D

I DO NOT REPRESENT:

• YA / Adult

• Text-only authors

Queries that fall into these categories will be deleted.

sweets (things i LOVE):

• Moods & meltdowns & complex, conflicting emotions

• Mischievous romps

• Dark humor that makes you CACKLE

• Characters who eat other characters

• Goofy, silly stories full of heart

• Chubby babies & fat characters

• Boys in dresses & dads in drag & tomboys & femme pirates & that cool tatted auntie with their polycule

• Pixar short vibes

• Taika Waititi for 5yos

vegetables (noooo THANK YOU):

• No lessons or morals! I do not want to learn anything or come away from the story a better person.

• Sweeping stories with uplifting notes about love, family, community, etc. I am lactose intolerant against cheesiness in books.

• Empowering stories about inner or outer beauty. There is a place for these stories, but it is not with me, your curmudgeonly neighborhood bridge troll.

If stories like this interest you that’s awesome! Keep at it. But I probably wouldn’t be the best person to champion your vision. :(
