My Manuscript Wish ListMy favorite genres are cozy mysteries with quirky but believable characters, fun romances with strong leads who are willing to work through real issues, dystopian and post-apocalyptic YA novels, well-written fantasy, and relic or artifact action/adventure. I’m looking for memorable characters and stories that drag me into the emotion and action and keep me turning pages until the wee hours. I have a background as an acquiring editor for a mid-sized publishing house; an award-winning reporter and managing editor for a newspaper; a professional freelance editor, mentor, and writing coach; and a traditionally published author. For MG, I’m looking for all sub-genres. For adults, I’m looking for mystery, romance, and action/adventure. For a more detailed listing of what I am looking for, please see my submissions page on our agency website. Fun facts about me: I live on the largest lake in South Carolina with four rescue dogs and the love of my life. In the rare spare moments when I am not working, I write my own novels, bead, cross-stitch and create cross-stitch patterns, crochet, and play on the lake with my husband and dogs.
