Ashley Collom

My Manuscript Wish List Favorite

Originally from Texas, Ashley is a graduate from Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She began her career in publishing at Writers House, and joined DeFiore and Company in 2014. Ashley seeks out authors that are intersectional feminists, LGBT+ folks, PoC, and more broadly, people trying to help other people with their art. She wants projects that make her heart smile. She’s a sucker for a great visual books, photography or illustrated gift. She has eclectic nonfiction sensibility and is looking for memoirs, political narrative nonfiction, cookbooks and non-traditional self-help covering topics like manifestation, meditation and the like. For fiction, she’s looking for contemporary upmarket women’s fiction, romance, and just about anything you’d read in a book club. She has a soft spot for the occult, tarot especially, and lesbian pop culture references. #MSWL includes lesbian contemporary YA or lesbian contemporary romance. Make her laugh, cry.
