Hello! Thanks for your interest in sharing your work with me. I read all queries and do my best to respond within six weeks.

At this time, I am seeking adult nonfiction, Christian fiction, clean romance (think Hallmark-style books!), Christian young adult fiction, adult nonfiction, YA of any genre (except horror/fantasy), MG, book club fiction of any genre (except horror/fantasy), and women's driven fiction. For women's driven fiction, I am specifically seeking books with strong female heroines who are in their 20s.
