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. I can’t wait to read your stories!

Submission Guidelines

Adult Fiction:

• Graphic Novel
• Historical Fiction
• Horror
• Mystery
• Paranormal/Supernatural
• Thriller
• Western
• Women’s Fiction

Preferences: 

I love supernatural and paranormal stories 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 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).

Children’s:

• Board Books
• Chapter Books
• Graphic Novel
• Middle Grade
• Picture Books
• Young Adult

Preferences:​

I love fast-paced character-driven picture books with humor and heart. I like short punchy sentences and word count under 600. I don’t shy away from tough topics but do not want didactic text with a heavy moral. I will consider nonfiction books but will be extremely picky in my selection. When sending nonfiction texts, please include backmatter with your submission.

​Chapter books are tough to sell so you must know your stuff. The text should be grade-level specific with room for limited illustrations.

​In middle grade I am looking for mystery, magic, time travel, anything just for fun! I want books that create lifelong readers.

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

In both adult and children’s titles 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.
