Wishlist — looking for
- ·Fantasy, science fiction, horror, and mystery/thrillers across MG, YA, and Adult. Wants original, spunky voices, setting-as-character, and large quirky casts for mystery/thriller; is actively seeking commercial, fast-paced, plot-driven adult fiction, which she says is her lowest-submission category.
Not looking for
- ·Thrillers with a cop/detective protagonist or love interest, and any kind of police procedural (private investigators are fine). Westerns, short story collections, novels-in-verse/poetry, and YA/MG contemporary or historical fiction/nonfiction.
