What Carleen is looking for
Carleen is actively building her list of both adult fiction and nonfiction. While she am always open to adult fiction across contemporary genres, she is also very actively looking for fun nonfiction projects at the moment. In fiction, Carleen tends to gravitate toward a more upmarket or literary voice, though she will also look at commercial stories! Her tastes span widely from very quiet, everyday stories to odd or unsettling atmospheres and everything between.
