Kathleen Ortiz began her career in publishing at Ballinger Publishing as an editorial assistant and interactive media designer for the young adult section, working to boost the magazine’s online presence through social networking. She then moved on to uwirepr.com as online editor for the features, art & entertainment sections. She has also taught high school classes as a visual media instructor. |
Kathleen is currently Associate Agent and Foreign Rights Manager at Lowenstein Associates. She is seeking children’s books (chapter, middle grade, and young adult) and young adult non-fiction. While Kathleen enjoys everything from light-hearted and humorous to dark and edgy, she’d love to find an amazing romance from a male point of view or a steampunk with fantastic world building.
Lowenstein Associates believes with the continued demand for online marketing in publishing, a strong online platform is essential for today’s authors. Kathleen uses her background in interactive media design to assist Lowenstein Associates’ clients with branding themselves. She maintains a blog on tips for querying and publishing at Neverending Page Turner and may also be found on Twitter.
Kathleen is trying to help promote Lee Nicoles’ new book, titled, DECEPTION by offering a 30 page critique and a copy of Lee’s book to person the winning entry. All you have to do is Tweet who you would like to meet and why – don’t forget the hash tag #Deception. Then leave a comment on the blog below.
YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE NOON ON JULY 9TH.
Remember Twitter is only 140 characters, so this is doable. http://kortizzle.blogspot.com/2010/06/official-deception-contest-blog-post.html

Kathy
