My Manuscript Wish List®

Regardless of genre, I’m interested in upmarket commercial fiction that makes you laugh, cry, and everything in between! I love sweet rom-coms that touch on deeper themes in the vein of Casey McQuiston, Emily Henry, or Emma Lord; cozy, grounded fantasies that bring magic to the everyday; mysteries with a lighthearted bend; and historical fiction that focuses on domestic life. I’m always looking for character driven stories featuring flawed people who grow and change, especially with the help of their loved ones. I’m also interested in retellings (especially Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, or fairy tales/folklore), as long as they bring something new to the original material. I welcome any and all submissions featuring diverse characters from diverse authors, especially if they feature queer storylines or center disability.

I’m not the right editor for nonfiction, erotica, or excessive gore. I’m only acquiring for our adult list at this time.

In my spare time, I love to bake, play D&D, and tap dance!
