Currently Looking For
I’ve been at Kensington Publishing since 2016. During my time in editorial, I have worked with Mysteries, Thrillers, Women’s Fiction, and Non-fiction titles. I’m primarily a character person. I need to be invested and sold on the characters and their relationships/journeys for a story to catch my eye. I also just love books that make me laugh! Non-fiction and fiction alike. Fiction: women’s fiction, modern gothic, dark academia, book-club fiction, romantic comedies with a strong hook, historical fiction, magical realism, voice-driven mysteries, and up-market fiction/commercial literary fiction. Nonfiction: A focus on culture, self-help, relationships, and true crime. Think Say Nothing, So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed.
