AMA June 2024: Kesia Lupo
The AMA (Ask-Me-ANYTHING) program is a series of interactive Zoom video meetings on the web where attendees can ask questions pertaining to their writing and publishing projects. A publishing industry professional, the featured expert, would answer these questions in these monthly live meetings.
The featured expert for our June 14, 2024 meeting is literary agent Kesia Lupo of The Bindery.
Kesia grew up in the UK and Germany, studied History at Oxford University and Creative Writing at Bath Spa, then launched her publishing career at Pan Macmillan, London, as an editorial assistant in 2013. She transitioned from adult books to children’s when she joined boutique publisher Chicken House—then from a senior editorial role to agenting when she joined The Bindery in 2023 as Associate Literary Agent.
Kesia seeks middle-grade, YA and adult fiction across multiple genres and select adult non-fiction in the areas of culture, psychology and history.
Kesia lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband. As well as working in publishing, she’s the author of three YA novels—We Are Blood and Thunder, We Are Bound by Stars (a fantasy duology), and Let’s Play Murder, a horror/thriller, all published by Bloomsbury in the UK. You will normally find her writing if she’s not reading!

The AMA meetings are INTERACTIVE; you can come up with questions in real-time and engage the expert. The featured expert will change from month to month. You can get different perspectives on your writing journey if you attend all of these meetings.
