I wholeheartedly believe that there is a book for every reader and every reader deserves a book and I’m eager to shepherd high-quality stories to eager readers. Due to the number of amazing submissions overflowing my inbox, I am only accepting submissions through conferences and special events.

​

Adult Fiction:

  • Cozy Mysteries

  • Fantasy

  • Historical Fiction

  • Horror

  • Paranormal

  • Speculative

  • Supernatural

  • Western

  • Women’s Fiction

  • Young Adult/New Adult​

 

Preferences: 

​

I love grounded speculative fiction where characters must keep their abilities hidden as they strive to right wrongs and exist in a world where fear of the unknown and misunderstood is prevalent. I love witches

​I have a soft spot for historical fiction with dual timelines where events from the past impact the present.

I am a sucker for stories with a romantic element and enjoy when budding romances develop organically throughout the story. ​

​

I would love to find characters with series potential where the story changes but the characters remain (Agatha Christie is one of my all-time favorite authors so think Miss Marple).

​

​In Young Adult I want books that tackle tough topics and speak to those who feel invisible.

I welcome diverse characters and would like to see more main LGBTQ+ characters in a setting where they exist without scrutiny and their sexuality isn’t the main issue but simply a component of the story.

I am currently closed to children’s submissions as my children’s client list is currently full.

​

​I do NOT represent:

  • Erotica

  • Nonfiction

  • Memoir – invitation only*

  • Religious Themes

  • Self-Help

*Invitation only includes submission opportunities through conferences or personal interactions where submission is requested.
