21 October, 6pm – 7pm:
Paper Literary was founded by Catherine Cho in 2021, with a vision of building author careers. Their approach is built on a commitment to storytelling and maximizing every opportunity for their clients. Their authors are New York Times and Sunday Times bestsellers, have had their work optioned by major film and TV production companies, and have become international bestsellers.
Katie Greenstreet joined Paper Literary in 2022. A corporate lawyer by training, she worked for several large law firms before making the leap into publishing. She started her career in books as an assistant at ICM Partners in New York, where she supported a list of Booker, Pulitzer, and Nobel Prize-winning authors.
She then moved to London and joined C&W, where she began building her own list while also working alongside Sue Armstrong and Sophie Lambert. At C&W, Katie discovered her passion for amplifying undiscovered voices and for getting stuck into projects editorially.
At every step of the publication process, Katie prioritises the reach and longevity of her authors’ careers, and she is especially looking for clients with whom she can build enduring, long-term relationships. She has sold six and seven figure deals in the US and UK.
