Consultation + Representation
Hi, I’m Kelly. I’m a literary agent (and former editor) living between Philadelphia and Seattle. I’ve built a career out of helping authors navigate the writing process, from ideation to publication.
After graduating from Drexel University with my master’s in publishing in 2019 and briefly working as a children’s librarian, I spent several years as an editor in academia, where I focused on refining texts within the social sciences.
I am now a literary agent at Lucinda Literary. I represent authors writing adult practical nonfiction, specifically in the categories of popular science, health and wellness, and spirituality. I selectively sign children’s and gift books/decks in the same areas.
I still take on freelance work via my own business, KB Editorial. As a consultant and collaborator, my job is to help you organize your thoughts and research (however chaotic they may be) into a project you’re proud of.
