What Melissa is looking for
Melissa would really love to find a project that captures her attention immediately. For her, this means a strong opening chapter, wonderfully engaging characters, unexpected twists and turns, and a very satisfying ending (no projects over 100k words, please!). She’s looking for Contemporary Romance that is lighter in tone, has a sense of humor, and offers an out-of-the-box premise (diverse characters welcome). In Historical Fiction, she’s interested in periods other than WWII or stories featuring intertwined contemporary and historical timelines, preferably with strong female protagonists. Cozy Mysteries should have a unique premise without a paranormal edge (planned series a plus). Finally
