MIDWESTERN
HERBAL
I'm seeking representation for my debut novel! A work of upmarket fiction, A MIDWESTERN HERBAL is a cozy, atmospheric celebration of adult friendship, femininity, love—and Cleveland.
For fans of light romance, grounded fantasy, 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 at the University of Akron School of Law. I'm also struggling with learning three languages.
