In her free time, Kaitlyn loves to play soccer, binge-watch shows on Hulu, and, of course, read. Her favorites are historical fiction, short stories, dramas, fantasies, mysteries, and of course picture books! She especially loves it when her husband, daughter, and her all cozy up and read together.”
When asked what she’s looking for in picture books, Kaitlyn said:
“I LOVE emotion, not super saccharine though. I adore super funny and playful! The biggest thing to break into the picture book scene is something very unique and different. I do love STEM, but I can tell you from reading submissions and writing myself, it sure is hard to do a math picture book well. I’m open to writers and author-illustrators.
