grade and YA novels, though I love digging into all types of stories, including picture books,
adult fiction, and memoir. I respect and admire writers for having the courage to share their work and ask for feedback. On all projects, I encourage the development of an intriguing plot, compelling characters, and a strong narrative voice.”
