Katie Reed has been in publishing for over a decade as both a literary agent and developmental editor. Katie was previously an agent of Andrea Hurst and Associates for several years before founding Katie Reed Literary in 2025. She is dedicated to representing her clients with passion and professionalism. She values lasting relationships with her authors and prioritizes longevity in her agent-author partnerships. Katie regularly attends conferences all over the country as an agent, presenter, and workshop instructor and is active on Instagram: @katiereed_literary.

In addition to books, Katie also loves Broadway, getting new tattoos, traveling, and All Things Disney. She lives near two rivers in the beautiful Inland Northwest with her husband, three children, two dogs, one obstinate cat, and can often be found upriver in the summer on the white sand beaches of Hells Canyon, preferably with a good book.

Katie’s mission is to be a fierce, persistent, and dedicated advocate for her authors and the stories they have entrusted her with. 

Across all genres, Katie is looking for what all readers want in a good story: characters that leap off the page, conflict and tension that grips her in the story, and strong prose that can compete with similar titles in that space. 

Katie represents romance, upmarket fiction, fantasy, and psychological thriller. She is especially looking for stories from underrepresented voices and perspectives. A full wish list can be found at www.katiereedlit.com.
