What Heather is looking for
Heather is seeking submissions for middle grade, young adult, and adult in fiction and nonfiction. For fiction, she considers all genres and loves a good genre splice. For non-fiction, anything that takes her back to those days in the library when she wanted to learn about someone, something, and somewhere new. Heather loves unique characters formed from their own experiences in a unique world. The characters need to feel real with a distinct voice from the first line, and she’s a huge sucker for an amazing first paragraph. Thematic elements and strong character arcs are what carry her through, and Heather loves upmarket-type books, even in the children’s space, and she loves inclusive books
