Guidelines
1. Please query before sending. Unrequested manuscripts will be returned unread. In your query, tell me your name, something about you and your book and show me some personality, some of your writer's style. We are both writers, take a creative risk. I am very new writer friendly. Don't worry about telling my your resume. Tell me your creative vision. All requested manuscripts will be responded to and given feedback.
2. I accept all genres except erotic/porn. There is plenty of that in the world. I don't have a problem with it, I just don't want to sell it. I look for work that wows me. Even Non fiction can do that.
3. This goes without saying but grammar check first. If your book has tons of typos and misspellings, it tells me that you don't care.
