Send a Query to Katie Gisondi at LDLA

Thanks for thinking of me for your project! I gravitate towards unique voices and perspectives and new twists on old tropes. I am NOT a good fit for cookbooks, literary fiction, essay collections, political thrillers, and poetry. I am also no longer accepting middle grade or YA titles. I am most actively seeking cozies, paranormal, and mysteries.

For more detail on my interests check out my tweets at @GisondiKatie or view my MSWL here: https://www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/katie-gisondi/
