Katie Monson

Currently close to general queries until Fall 2024.

I have been self-employed for the last 14 years, and have enjoyed the privilege of being home to raise my kids. I have always loved books and over the years I have searched for a way to stay involved within the book world that I love so much. I have been a blogger, beta reader, and editor but when the opportunity to become a literary agent presented itself at the perfect time I jumped at the chance.  It took me 37 years and countless jobs to find the right one for me and I finally figured out where I belong.

My wish list includes (but is not limited to):

KidLit Space-

• Hilarious, offbeat picture books.  Looking for something new that hasn’t been done before!
• Books that want to be read over and over again by all ages
• Interactive books (think This Book Is a Mistake by Ron Keres)
• Books that include Penguins are a plus (they are my favorite)
• Middle grade that is hilarious! (I’m in dire search of a MG!!)

Things I’m NOT looking for:

• Princess stories
• Holiday stories
• Talking Pets
• SEL stories
• Nothing futuristic, science fiction or fantasy

Books I love:

• Click, Clack, Moo by Doreen Cronin
• The Day The Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt
• Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr.
• Amelia Bedelia books 

Adult Space

• Hilarious Rom-coms with a 90’s feel
• Epic love stories (I want to swoon along with the FMC)
• Non-HEA love stories 
• Jaw-dropping Psychological Thrillers
• Book Club Fiction

Thing I am NOT looking for

• Historical fiction
• Romantasy
• Sci-fi
• Fantasy
• Complex World Building
• Non-fiction
• Memoirs

Books I love:

• The Idea of You by Robinne Lee
• Bright Side by Kim Holden
• It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover
• Marrow by Tarryn Fisher
• The Push by Ashley Audrain
• Book Lovers by Emily Henry
