Kate Moody
The Rights Factory
My Manuscript Wish List®
Kate Moody is an Assistant Agent at The Rights Factory, representing authors in both adult fiction and non-fiction. She is seeking authors with strong platforms in non-fiction (her favourite), including true crime, narrative, journalism, memoir, sports, and current affairs. In fiction, she is particularly interested in thrillers, psychological thrillers, family sagas, and stories that are dark, twisty, and complex. Kate is also drawn to authors whose exceptional writing can stand above a platform, as well as those who skillfully bend genres and execute multi-POV narratives with precision.
Kate believes everyone has a story to tell and is always looking for fresh, compelling voices. If you think you’d be a good fit, she’d love to hear from you!
Fun facts about me:
Driven by her passion for books, literacy, and education, Kate founded the Moody Family Foundation in 2023, which provides charitable grants to support education and literacy programs in Ontario’s York Region.
