Sara Megibow, KT Literary Agency

I am actively acquiring and looking for books that consume me; stories I can’t stop reading and heroines/heroes to cheer for. My list of genres is very specific but within that list there are no boundaries: I’m looking for debut authors with a complete, never previously-published manuscript in middle grade, young adult, romance, erotica, science fiction or fantasy. Doesn’t matter … Continue reading →
