She worked as a Junior Literary Agent for two years before moving to Rees Literary Agency, continuing to champion her authors and the manuscripts she loves.

She is very interested in representing authors with marginalized own voices stories, witty and unique characters, pirates, witches, and dark fantasies.

In Middle Grade, she’s looking for:

• Fantasy and sci-fi

• Contemporary that touches on tough issues for young readers

In YA, she’s looking for:

• Genres from contemporary, to high fantasy, to sci-fi (not the space kind) to paranormal (all the ghost stories, please!) and historical all the way back to rom-coms.

In Adult, Kelly represents:

• Romance, fantasy, and sci-fi

Kelly only accepts queries through Query Manager and requires a query, synopsis, and the first five pages of your work to submit. She is excited to expand her client list and find new authors who have a strong story to tell.
