Kate McKean, vice president at Howard Morhaim Lit, is opening to queries (after being shut for several years) on Oct. 2, 2023. She's going to be using Query Manager, not her email.

You can find info on what she's looking for in her newsletter, Agents and Books, and she's planning to update the Morhaim website. (Quick take: she's looking for YA and MG fiction and NF and GNs, but not PBs.)

Kate is my agent and she's absolutely tops. I wouldn't trade for anyone else. Start polishing those queries!

Elaine, I'm not sure. I'd look on the agency website when it gets a little closer, or go to Agents & Books and read her post. (It's free. You can also subscribe and get an extra post weekly, but the info on opening back up is in the free (Tuesday) posts. https://katemckean.substack.com/

Thanks! I did read "yes" to NF. I wasn't sure if that extended to all age categories.
