Really, I will consider almost anything except horror, poetry, screenplays, or Science Fiction. I honestly will take on any project for which I see a viable market. I am particularly drawn to fiction that has reading group potential and non-fiction with great backlist potential.

My first client was acquired on number-of-hankies-required alone, but I will happily consider memoir (particularly memoir that speaks to a larger social or historical circumstance, or introduces me to a new phenomenon), popular culture, inspiration, women's issues, how-to, humor, narrative non-fiction, and books on relationships.

Queries are preferred via email. PLEASE no attachments until I express interest. For both non-fiction and fiction queries, initial contact should just be a pitch letter. If I express interest I will need to see a full proposal for non-fiction and credentials, synopsis, and 25 pages for fiction.  I receive many submissions and regretfully can't reply to each one, so please understand that if you don't hear from me in two weeks it is most likely because the project isn't right for me.
