Contact Kathleen Eagle for Inquiries and Media
Whether you're a reader, journalist, bookseller, or potential collaborator, here's how to reach us and what to expect once you do.
How to Reach Us
Most messages that land in our inbox fall into one of a few buckets, so we've sorted the page that way. Find the heading that fits your reason for writing, and you'll get to the right place faster.
Every inquiry is handled by Cassidy Rhodes, who reads everything personally before passing it along. That means no automated triage, no ticket numbers, and no contact form swallowing your note into the void. You write to a real person.
We aim to respond within a few business days. During release weeks or while Kathleen is traveling for events, replies can take a little longer — we'd rather answer thoughtfully than fire back something half-considered. If your message is time-sensitive, say so in the subject line and we'll prioritize accordingly.
One ground rule worth stating up front: we read manuscripts and story pitches only through Kathleen's literary representation, never through this address. Anything sent here on that front gets a polite redirect rather than a read.
General Business Inquiries
This is the catch-all, and it covers more than the name suggests. Reader questions about a book's setting, requests to clarify which novel comes first in a series, signed-copy and bookplate requests, and the occasional "I lost my place in the timeline" note all belong here.
The fastest way to reach us is email.
A few specifics help us help you. If you're asking about a particular title, name it. If you're writing about an order or a signed item, include the order date or confirmation if you have it. And if you've already browsed the Books or Series pages and still have a question, mention that too, so we know not to point you back where you've already been.
Reader notes mean a great deal to Kathleen, and she sees the ones that move her. We can't promise a personal reply to every message, but we read every single one.
Press and Media Requests
Journalists, podcasters, festival organizers, and review editors — start here. Send your request to [email protected] with "Press" or "Media" in the subject line so it surfaces quickly.
To move things along, tell us who you write or broadcast for, your deadline, the angle you're working, and roughly how much of Kathleen's time you'd need. An interview slot, a few emailed quotes, and a full feature each carry different scheduling realities, and knowing the scope up front lets us give you a straight answer instead of a maybe.
What we can usually provide
High-resolution author photos, approved cover art, short and long bios, and background on individual titles are generally on hand and quick to send. For coverage tied to a specific release, reach out early; the weeks around a launch fill up fast.
For broader context on Kathleen's career and the recognition her work has received, the About Kathleen and Awards pages are a good place to begin while you wait on a reply.
Partnership Opportunities
Bookstores planning an event, libraries building a reading series, book clubs hoping for a virtual visit, charitable initiatives looking for a donated signed copy — these collaborations are some of the most rewarding parts of the work, and we read these proposals with genuine interest.
That said, we're selective, mostly because Kathleen's calendar is finite and she'd rather commit fully to a handful of partnerships than spread thin across many. A clear pitch helps enormously. Tell us your organization, what you're imagining, the timeframe, and the audience involved.
Send partnership notes to [email protected] and flag them as such in the subject line. If a proposal isn't a fit for the season, we'll say so honestly rather than leave you waiting — and we'll keep promising ideas on file for when the timing works better.
A note on scope: because every collaboration is shaped around a specific calendar and audience, what we can commit to varies from one season to the next. Treat the channels above as the starting point of a conversation, not a fixed menu.
