About Kate
Katrina Elizabeth DiCamillo, born on March 25, 1964, is an American author of children's fiction known for her extensive body of work including over 25 novels. Her publications include notable titles such as Because of Winn-Dixie, The Tiger Rising, The Tale of Despereaux, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, The Magician's Elephant, the Mercy Watson series, and Flora & Ulysses. Her books have achieved significant commercial success, selling approximately 37 million copies, and have been adapted into films and musical settings. DiCamillo is distinguished as one of seven authors to have won the Newbery Medal twice, with The Tale of Despereaux and Flora & Ulysses each receiving this honor. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Clermont, Florida, she earned an English degree from the University of Florida, Gainesville. After working various entry-level jobs in Clermont, she moved to Minneapolis in 1994 where she worked in a book warehouse and pursued her writing career. Her breakthrough came with the acceptance of her first published book, Because of Winn-Dixie, which garnered critical and commercial success, prompting her to become a full-time author. From 2014 to 2015, DiCamillo served as the American National Ambassador for Young People's Literature. She continues to reside in Minneapolis and actively writes, with her recent works including Orris and Timble: Star Stories, published in April 2026, and her upcoming book Love & Mercy, scheduled for release in December 2026.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
