Client Testimonials
I've had the pleasure of working with Katie Reed across multiple pen names (Cecelia Mecca, Cissy Mecca, and C.L. Mecca). What sets Katie apart is how she handles the tricky situations that inevitably come up in publishing. She handles everything like a true pro. Katie is responsive, insightful about the romance market, and genuinely invested in my career growth. If you’re looking for an agent who will advocate for you, I highly recommend her.

Working with Katie Reed has been a dream for me as a debut author. She saw all the possibilities in my original work and was able to guide me in revising what I thought was the final draft into a polished manuscript that appealed to multiple publishers. Katie has been a fierce advocate for me as we navigate the ever- changing publishing world. She encourages me to keep honing my craft, just as she continues to keep her finger on the pulse of the newest publishing trends and standards. She is attentive and available for consultation when I have questions or concerns and is always ready to talk me through any challenges I might be facing. Katie is committed to not just my books, but my career as an author. She is willing to grow with me and always keeps my long-term success in the forefront of our work together. I am so grateful to have such a talented, relentless, passionate advocate promoting my work and encouraging me to keep striving towards my best creative self.

Katie has been such an incredible advocate for me since the day we met.

I have complete confidence that Katie has my best interests at heart!

Katie is everything I needed in an agent and more. From day one, she put my best interests first and believed in my work (and me) wholeheartedly. She’s my fiercest advocate, my most loyal confidant, and my biggest cheerleader. I’m endlessly grateful to have not just an incredible agent, but a true friend.
— Ang T. Dalton, author of The Scars Within
Katie has that wonderful combination of an eye for detail, and a mind for plot. She's a champion and a collaborator, mixing valuable industry insight with a professional respect for the author. Her voracious appetite for books (seriously, don't leave her alone in a bookstore), means she always has her finger on the pulse of the market, and wields that knowledge to help inform her authors in every step of their career.
— Sean Fletcher, author of My Dearest Monster
I am so thankful to have Katie in my corner as my agent. She is a fierce advocate for my stories and is my biggest supporter during the stress of submission and all other aspects of publishing. Katie was able to negotiate an incredible deal with my dream publisher. I wouldn't want to be on this journey with anyone else!
