What Amelia is looking for
Amelia is actively seeking adult fiction, non-fiction, and YA and is particularly interested in stories by diverse and marginalized voices. Fantastic settings and savvy characters are her favorite things! Amelia is most interested in adult fiction that spans literary fiction with strong voice and complex relationships, classic whodunit mysteries, twisty thrillers (excluding cop protagonists), upmarket women's fiction without a focus on marriage or children, as well as science fiction, fantasy, horror, and graphic novels that use the form to enhance storytelling.
