Hello, authors! As a literary agent with Golden Wheat Literary Agency, I am on the lookout for a variety of tropes and genres. Send me fiction that take me away for a while, bring a bit of humor to my world, and characters I’ll want to live with for a while. What am I craving for my inbox right now? If it’ll make me laugh, bring it on! If you’ve got a sweet and quirky romance, I’d love to read it! Workplace humor? Yes! Friends off on a crazy adventure? Bring me along! Happy endings? I like them a whole lot. My word count sweet spot is 65K-90K

Fun facts about me
I have been a flutist since I was 10… Binge watching The Office, Frasier, and Schitt’s Creek is commonplace at my house! My dog, Sahara, is a Brittany Spaniel, and she is a real goofball. I try to visit Broadway as much as possible! Harry Potter-Ravenclaw! I love to be NEAR the ocean, but not be IN the ocean… Submission Guidelines Submissions should be emailed to susan@ Please send me a query letter, the first ten pages, and a synopsis (including the ending) pasted into the body of the email to su *** @ ***************** Please Note: Due to the volume of queries I receive, I close to queries periodically in order to catch up on submissions.
