My Manuscript Wish List

When I started my agency, I wanted to help newer authors. That said, the manuscript still has to be fully edited and ready to go. Will I still do an edit? Usually. We want it to be the strongest it can be when it is queried to editors.

Before I started my agency, I had a freelance editing business. I do both copy editing and content editing.

I only represent mysteries and romances. I am always on the lookout for Amish Romances and Cozy Mysteries. I represent most types of romances and mysteries. I like romances from sweet to very sexy.

I do not represent any YA, scifi or fantasy. I do not represent any erotica.


Fun facts about me:

I am originally from Wenatchee, WA.
