The End of Summer, and New Beginnings...

It has been a great summer at KC & A - I attended the Paris Writer's Conference and made lots of deals over the recent months, launching the careers of many new authors.  The industry is healthy and books are not going away!   I'm pleased to announce that KC&A is expanding to include some new young (er:-) agents, ready to find new voices.  Two of our interns, Ethan Vaughan and Pooja Menon, have proved their excellent editorial and author interface talents, and we have decided that they are ready to start their own lists.  Liz and I are still reading and considering new clients as well - and they will also add a younger and international viewpoint to the table.  As they say in French, may your "rentrée" be a great one.  Here's to a lovely fall!

Cheers,

Kimberley

We are very excited to have Heidi Cave's FANCY FEET cover from Behler Publications.  Isn't it beautiful?  Heidi's friend provided the photograph, part of a series taken of Heidi's prosthetic legs/feet.

Heidi lost her best friend Betty and both of her legs below the knee in a car accident caused by a reckless driver.  She is also a burn survivor, having suffered burns over 50% of her body.  Her story is a page-turner full of hope, triumph and giving back.
