SPECIAL INTERESTS

Right now, I am especially looking for fiction—particularly, literary voices who have a great story to tell, filled with emotionally compelling characters—but would also love to see the commercial fiction, unique memoirs, and rich narrative non-fiction that I’ve enjoyed working with throughout the years.
-
Literary and commerical fiction with fantastical elements and magical realism are welcomed!.
