Send a Query to Katie Grimm at Don Congdon Associates, Inc.
Thank you for thinking of me.
I represent and am seeking voice-driven literary and upmarket fiction, narrative and creative non-fiction, and literary fiction for young adult and middle grade audiences. Across all genres, I'm looking for books with a heartbeat and sense of purpose. I’ll always be interested in the darker and weirder side of human history, previously under- or misrepresented experiences, and narratives that contribute to a larger cultural conversation.
Please paste your query letter and first chapter (or first 30 pages) into the form below--for example, if you have a prologue, you can include it and the first chapter, for alternating POV, please include a chapter from both, and for collections, please include at least one full story. I will respond to all queries received here.
I prefer QM for submissions, but if you have issues with this form, you can email our general inbox at dca@doncongdon.com with "Query for Katie Grimm" in the subject line (however, I will only respond to submissions there if interested). Thanks again!
