Cindy has ten years of experience in working with editors, agents, and publishers as an author, on the “other side,” of the desk. Cindy opened Birch Literary to help other writers on their own path to publication.

In adult fiction, Cindy is looking for sweet romance (with happy endings), traditional mysteries (standard PI, classic detective, or cozy), crime, police procedural, thriller, and suspense.
