I’m a Louisiana native who is now firmly rooted in New York City. I want to work with writers who have a strong point of view and an eye for language.
Currently I’m looking for
Horror! Any kind truly. I want my electric bill to be astronomical because of all the scary manuscripts I’m reading. Literary fiction of any kind with a commercial hook (meaning descriptors like “lyrical” are not doing the heavy lifting in the pitch) Realistic female friendship stories of all ages (and particularly queer friendship stories) Family stories (particularly multiple POV family stories and mother/daughter narratives) Reportage. Get me in the inside scoop! Narratives exploring a piece of culture that’s been erased or muted especially from writers who are personally connected to that culture
Fun facts about me
