Hi, I’m Katie Erickson, an Agent, Illustrator and Writer!
Once upon a time, I was an architect. However, I spent all of my free time in the children's section of the library, even before having kids, so I shifted to the world of children’s books. I’m especially excited about writing and illustrating Middle Grade and Picture Book projects! I love bright colors, diverse characters and most importantly an ending with a spark of hope.
I am actively involved in the kidlit world. I am a certified Developmental Editor and a WFWA Mentor. I am currently working on my MFA for Children’s Literature, and I have spoken at (and a member of) SCBWI and The Writers Workout Conference. Further, I’m also an Associate Literary Agent with The Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency, and I am a member of the Association of American Literary Agents. For more information, please see my page on the JDLA Website.
Please email me to chat about your next project!
