Kate Moody
Transatlantic Agency
My Manuscript Wish List®
Kate Moody is an Associate Agent and Associate Speakers Agent at Transatlantic Agency, where she previously served as Assistant to Samantha Haywood and Assistant Agent. Before joining Transatlantic, she was at The Rights Factory. Kate’s background is in events, marketing, and non-profit work. She has degrees in Criminology and Sociology from Western University, complemented by a diploma in Special Events Management from George Brown College.
Kate is looking to represent commercial to upmarket adult fiction and non-fiction. She is particularly interested in authors with strong platforms writing narrative non-fiction, including true crime, journalism, sports, current affairs, pop culture, among other areas. 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.
