K.D. Garcia*

K.D. García writes MG and YA contemporary fiction and urban fantasy. In building a story, she strives to find the perfect mix of mystery, suspense, action, and humor. A veterinarian by day, her patients often seep into her thoughts after work and elbow their way into her stories. When not at work, writing or reading, she enjoys a house filled with pets, children, and a wonderfully patient husband.

She is a past PitchWars Mentee and has won several awards, including a Maggie for YA suspenseful romance. She is represented by Jennifer Herrington of the Harvey Klinger Agency.

Expertise: I feel capable of fielding a wide variety of questions on craft (characterization, pacing, plot, voice, etc.). I'm also happy to do whatever I can to help anyone out who is stuck in Query H.E. Double Toothpicks.
