What Kodie is looking for
Kodie is a published author and is a sucker for well-structured stories that contain hints of the whimsical, the horrific, and the absurd, favoring authors like Kurt Vonnegut, Ray Bradbury, and George Orwell who have something reflective and important to say about the nature of humanity. In adult fiction she will consider: absurdism, upmarket horror (strong literary themes with accessible commercial hook and structure), science-fiction (think more Douglas Adams and Ted Chiang, less Frank Herbert). However, more important than genre is that authors understand what they’re trying to say with their stories and make a strong philosophical point, demonstrating a fundamental understanding of story
