My Manuscript Wish List®
After graduating with a degree in Professional Writing, I completed internships with Christian Indie Publishing Association and ArtHouse Literary Agency, which provided valuable insight into the publishing world. I am an editorial agent. I’m open to contemporary, thrillers, horror, speculative, fantasy, graphic novels, and sci-fi. I especially enjoy YA standalones. Regardless of genre, I am looking for books that have good pacing, worldbuilding that makes sense, and believable characters. Anything with a good hook will catch my attention.
Things I’m looking for but not limited to:
- Fantasy horror
- Anything set in the Victorian Era
- Books set in Alaska
- Unique fairytales
- house-with-personality (I’d love to see something inspired by the Winchester Mansion.)
- A lower YA zombie apocalypse
- All kinds of fantasy
- Horror especially MG and YA
- Found families/adoption themes
- Contemporary that can make mundane conflicts feel intense
- Graphic novels
Things I’m highly selective with:
- MG
- Stories centering around divorce/revenge
- Adult science fiction
- historical fiction
Things I’m not looking for:
- I will rarely ever be interested in contemporary stories set in high school or college
- Steep cliffhangers/endings that don’t resolve anything
- Anything with sexual abuse
- Anything depressing
- Antiheros/unlikable main characters
- demons/vampires
- Toxic relationships
- Picture Books
- Cults/religious commentaries
