If I liked your #PosterPit pitch, please DM me for a link as my Query Manager inbox is currently closed.

Alright querying writers, I am at 250 queries. I said I’d give a half hour heads up, so I’ll be closing my inbox at 7:10 EST tonight. I will be open again once I sort through these queries.

Surprise: I am open to queries (YA, NA, Adult only for this round). I will remain open until my inbox hits 250 queries. I have no idea how long that’ll take, but I will update here when it is closed.

Authors who have fulls with me: I am currently working to get a client out on submission. I plan to start reading fulls once we have finished this round of revisions. I hope to get back to everyone within the next six weeks. If it is in my queue, note that I haven't read yet.

It’s time I introduce myself to the #writingcommunity: Hi! I’m Katie Ferriello- a new literary agent with Mansion Street Literary Management. My inbox is currently closed, but if you follow me I’ll let you know when I’m open. I plan to also host pitch me parties on BlueSky in the future.

I know, I know. Most kids call their father dad, but it’s not like that with me and Haden. More than his kid, I’m his spawn. And like Haden, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve. They don’t call me the devil’s daughter for nothing. #wip #p2ppit #mg

If this book gets published, I hope to give an interview where I describe how I typed on a laptop that got hot as fire within 20 minutes and had to be charged after an hour. 😅 #wip

Writers- Happy to share this word count tracker I made today. Drop your email if you want it. :) #mghub #writers #writing #mg #ya #kidlit

My goal for 2025 is to finish my novel completely (draft plus revisions) by April. Then, to revise my previous novel which has a lot of great elements but needs an overhaul. I check in with critique partners and write at least 4 days per week! #kidlitchat

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a freshly-fallen snow, a crackling fire, a riveting mystery novel, a kettle on the stove, and a healthy supply of emotional support scones.

2024 was hard, but it was also the year I finally understood character agency and found my own. Here’s to chasing joy and dreams in 2025. If you make a resolution, I hope it in someway makes you feel more alive and fulfilled. Sending you positivity and happiness for the new year.
