My Manuscript Wish List®
Hello! I am a senior editor at a traditional, mid-size publisher. I’ve been with Entangled Publishing since 2013, with experience editing on all of Entangled’s imprints and working with a variety of different authors, from debuts to bestsellers.
CALL FOR ADULT AND YA ROMCOMS:
In addition to the below general wishes, I am seeking more contemporary romcoms in the adult and YA spaces.
IN GENERAL:
I am acquiring commercial genre fiction with a strong romantic element, in YA or adult, in the genres of fantasy, paranormal, sci-fi, historical, and romcom. A high-concept plot, brisk pacing, and strong voice are a must.
I am always interested in stories that feature characters with diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and characters across the spectrum of sexual orientation and gender identity.
Regardless of plot or genre, I am always in search of characters who jump off the page–make me love them, hate them, or love to hate them.
Selectively, I will consider thrillers. No romance required.
Can’t wait to read your book!
