Writers
We will consider well-written novels in most genre and mainstream categories, with the emphasis on well-written. We like novels that take risks; novels that blend and bend the limits. Our audience consists of readers with a variety of tastes ranging from the traditional to the quirky to the ground-breaking. We seek books that are complete, resonant, and entertaining, novels that strikes at the emotional heart of the reader in some way, whether through her tear ducts or funny bone.
