My Manuscript Wish List®
I’m currently looking for platform-based cookbook authors, book club crossover fiction (think Emma Straub, Bonnie Garmus, Maria Semple, and Gabrielle Zevin), and laugh-out-loud middle grade fiction.
Fun facts about me:
I taught President Vaclav Havel’s bodyguards English in the Prague Castle in the early 90s.
My son chose our dog’s name–Friday–because “everyone loves Friday!”
While I am by no means a “Disney Adult,” the Magic Kingdom is the happiest place on earth.
IMHO liver, oysters, bone marrow, beef tongue, and cod throat are delicious but peas are gross.
