Chelsea Hensley, Agent at KT Literary

I’m an associate literary agent at KT Literary representing children’s and adult fiction. Before becoming an agent I was a perpetual publishing intern with experience in various areas of the industry including indie presses and lit magazines. I’m actively building my client list with a focus on authors of bold fiction across multiple genres in children’s and adult categories. I’m based in St. Louis where I spend my free time playing D&D, watching reruns of The Golden Girls, and wrangling two chaotic dogs.

I’m actively building my client list with a focus on authors of bold fiction in picture book, middle grade, YA, and adult categories, specifically in the genres of fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, suspense/thriller, and romance.
