Querying Kaitlyn Katsoupis
Disclaimer: Please do not send to multiple Belcastro agents at the same time; either wait for a response or withdraw from that agent to send to a new one
Thank you so much for considering me for your representation! If I have not responded by 3 months at the earliest, feel free to check in. Be sure that your query is 1 page, the synopsis is no more than 2 double spaced pages, and the first 5 pages are the very first ones from your book (if you have a prologue, send Ch 1 and then send the prologue if I request more)!
If submitting a graphic novel, give me the pitch, synopsis of the full story, 5 pages of script, and any available artwork samples. If artwork file is too big to upload, feel free to put a link in your query where I can view it.
What I really want to hear most are your book details—character, conflict, and consequences—with a brief bio. Also, save the reply email that allows you to check your query status! This is also the link that will allow you to message me to report if you've received an alternate offer.
