What Ella is looking for
Through both adult and young adult titles, Ella acquires mysteries and suspense/thrillers. Historical thrillers are especially intriguing. She leans toward female and diverse protagonists engaged in complex relationships. Also, a well-developed atmosphere is crucial. If the only woman in your story is the victim, please do not submit. Adult science fiction, fantasy, and women’s fiction are all on her list, but she is extremely picky. Only a standout science fiction, a well-developed fantasy world, or an emotionally charged women’s fiction will get her attention.
