Kate Moody

Kate Moody is an Assistant Agent at The Rights Factory, representing authors in both adult fiction and non-fiction. She is seeking authors with strong platforms in non-fiction, including true crime, narrative, journalism, memoir, sports, and current affairs. In fiction, she is particularly interested in thrillers, psychological thrillers, family sagas, and stories that are dark, twisty, and complex. Kate is also drawn to authors whose exceptional writing can stand above a platform, as well as those who skillfully bend genres and execute multi-POV narratives with precision.

Kate spent a year as the Agency Assistant to Sam Hiyate, gaining invaluable industry insight and hands-on experience in agenting, and author representation. She also brings a diverse background in events, marketing, and non-profit work. Driven by her passion for books, literacy, and education, she founded the Moody Family Foundation in 2023, which provides charitable grants to support education and literacy programs in Ontario’s York Region.

Kate has degrees in Criminology and Sociology from Western University, complemented by a diploma in Special Events Management from George Brown College. Apart from reading, she enjoys being active, cooking, traveling, spending time with her friends, family, and two doodles.

Kate believes everyone has a story to tell and is always looking for fresh, compelling voices. If you think you’d be a good fit, she’d love to hear from you!

Authors Kate loves: Karin Slaughter, Ann Patchett, David Grann, Jessamine Chan, Chanel Miller, Kate Elizabeth Russell, Erik Larson, Jon Krakauer, Lisa Jewell, Ann Rule, and the list continues…
