It’s beyond exciting when a debut author receives an offer for publication, and I’m thrilled to be part of that moment. So far, after fifteen years, I still get butterflies when I have the chance to make “that call” and announce a contract to my client. I hope to help launch more careers as I move forward. And to add more shelves to my office where I have a copy of each book I’ve helped launch. The look and feel of them makes me smile!

I also teach and mentor nationally to help writers attain new levels of success in their craft, so watch for me at a conference near you. Or better yet, invite me to share at your conference on an array of topics from Are You Writing What You’re Called to Write? to Deep Deep POV, and more cutting-edge topics to help authors take their work to the next level.

What is on my wish list?

Suspense and romantic suspense both full-length 80K and shorter for Love Inspired 55-60K. Thrillers also if they are clean reads

Historic and historic romance. Contemporary Romance. Mysteries, especially those with subtle humor

Amish, both full-length 80K and those for Love Inspired 55K

It’s rare that I look at literary or biblical

Nonfiction: can you change lives with what you write? Devotionals, daily living, how-tos, self-help. MUST have strong online presence/platform to submit. I rarely take memoirs. If I do, the platform must be very substantial
