CHARMS FOR THE MIDWESTERN WITCH
I'm seeking representation for my debut novel (affectionately, Charms or CFTMW)! A work of upmarket fiction, CFTMW is a cozy, atmospheric celebration of adult friendship, femininity, love—and Cleveland.
For fans of light romance, low fantasy/magical realism, or women's literature.
Full manuscript available now! Other projects in the works.

what I do
By day, I'm an instructional designer with an advanced degree and etc. in English. I've researched, developed, and edited content for school newspapers, minor league baseball teams, company blogs, mid-size non-profits, and a couple Fortune 500 mega-corporations, taught a few classes, and had a poem or two published along the way (okay, so they were in vanity anthologies, but hey, I was young!).
​
I'm known to freelance as an editor, blogger, and resume writer and to flirt with graphic design (all the graphics and photos you see here are my own). All to say: If you've got a project in mind, let's chat!
​
In previous lives, I've been a wannabe concert pianist and an academic exploring Rust Belt and Post-Industrial American Literature. In the next one, I'll be a law student (offers extended, decisions pending). I'm also learning struggling with three languages.
