While at HarperEntertainment, Caitlin established the X-Files Publishing Program, as well as several other branded series.
Caitlin is a Williams College graduate. She lives in Westchester with her husband and four sons, ages 9, 6, 3, and 1, which leads her to suspect she will be agenting more books on sports in the future.
