Kathryn Julian joins Ki

Miriam is delighted to welcome their first signed client of 2026—Kathryn Julian! She was blown away by the staggering, witty, and engrossing authenticity of Julian's writerly voice in her humor-laced horror novel, featuring a professor on a Faustian deal investigating a suspicious student death on his private university campus with the help of an unlikely ally—a priest he's definitely not falling for.

Kathryn is a historian and writer of horror and speculative fiction. Originally from Alabama, Kathryn is a recovering academic and queer Catholic. In the past, she has worked as a barista, subtitled East German films, and taught history as a university professor. She was a Fulbright scholar and holds a Ph.D. in History from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She now lives happily next to a cemetery in Alexandria, Virginia, with her husband and two cats.
