When Katherine DeGilio was a child, her goal in life was to be Kissing Kate Barlow from Holes. Since the Wild West has diminished, she’s decided to be an author instead. She assumes those professions share equal kill counts.

So far, her writing has reached the readers of The Offing & Scribble Literary, among others. DeGilio has worked as a creative writing teacher for Young Authors Workshop LLC, a writing intern, a literary agent intern, an editor, and an insufferable optimist. Now, she aims to be an author herself. She loves talking to her readers and encourages them to reach out to her through the contact page above.


Katherine DeGilio is currently seeking representation for her YA mystery, The Psychopath Didn’t Do it.
