My Manuscript Wish List®

I am currently highly interested in developing my adult commercial fiction list. I have a particular eye out for vibrant and fun women’s fiction and romance, mysteries and thrillers by authors from underrepresented backgrounds, and unusual upmarket book club fiction. I love cozy fantasy; never met a kitchen witch I didn’t adore. I’d love to sign a muscular thriller series with a franchise-friendly main character. I love romantic comedies, but want the comedy to be as prevalent as the romance. I am always looking for series mystery.

I represent some pop culture nonfiction, but on a highly selective basis.

Fun facts about me:

I am a very slow runner, but I listen to audiobooks at 2.7x speed.
