Bio
Natalie is drawn to talented, hard-working new authors with a fresh, unique voice and hook. Her specialty is commercial fiction, with an emphasis in children’s literature (from picture book through teen), romance (contemporary and historical), and upmarket women’s fiction. Her interests include historical, multi-cultural, sci-fi/fantasy, gritty, thrilling and darker contemporary novels, middle grade with heart, and short, quirky picture books. She is always drawn to an open and positive attitude in an author, professionalism, good grammar, and fantastical, engaging and sexy plots.
Wishlist
- Contemporary romance (sexy, no romantic suspense, small town, cowboys, not so much into bikers or sports/sports themes)
Contemporary NA (also sexy) - Anything horror or gothic (but NOT paranormal; no "light" horror like ghosts) or Victorian
- Smart, contemporary, "beautiful dark" YA (ala BEFORE I FALL, FAULT IN OUR STARS)
- Magical realism (in YA and women's fiction)
- FRESH women's fiction/general fiction (love historical, time travel, magical realism, and fresh concepts, not just woman who is rediscovering herself after a divorce)
- Light/humorous or historical mystery (in adult and YA)
- nonfiction picture books and young readers
- anything I can go absolutely bananas about
- Upmarket fiction (commercial fiction with a literary bent - a strong hook with great writing and deep character development)
