My Manuscript Wish List®
I love strong characters, unique and diverse voices, and new takes on favorite tropes.
Please know that this list isn’t comprehensive. If you think I would be a great fit for you and your book, send it my way!
Closed to unsolicited queries starting October 1, 2024.
Fun facts about me:
I have a cat named Fergus who loves to cuddle on his own terms only and a cat named Obi who takes the term “scaredy cat” to a whole new level. I also have an Australian Shepherd named Chuck who looks more like a Bernese Mountain Dog than an Australian Shepherd.
I used to live on a farm and grew up taking animals to the county fair.
I met my husband on the first day of college and we’ve been together ever since!
