Nancy! 😍 I wish I could have known how accessible the book world can be online. That would have been a huge asset back in the day 😅 #LxPChat

THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END by Adam Silvera. I think I'm finally ready to get on the Crying Express with his books 😭 #LxPChat

A HOPE DIVDED by Alyssa Cole! I just finished reading it, and can't wait to see how readers respond when it comes out in November. #LxPChat

TAKE THE LEAD by Alexis Daria is on my TBR pile. So excited for this contemporary romance by a fellow Nuyorican! #LxPChat

I'm currently reading STAR WARS: FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW. Such an amazingly diverse group of authors in this anthology! #LxPChat

Here we go, thread ahead! #LxPChat

The neverending submissions pile. Just when I think I've got it under control, my inbox fills right up. 😅 #LxPChat

Go for what you want and do the work as soon as possible. Self doubt is a liar. #LxPChat

Faves include: Alyssa Cole. Priscilla Oliveras. Freddie Milano.

Soon to be faves: Lydia San Andres. Rebekah Weatherspoon. #LxPChat

Ultimately I'm looking for fun, entertaining, heartfelt stories with complex characters. With a fresh take. #LxPChat

I ultimately discovered that working in editorial is my publishing home. Being a direct link to storytellers and their books. #LxPChat

Putting together selling points for a book's tip sheet, which gives information to marketing/publicity/sales. #LxPChat

Some other favorite parts include: reading and falling in love with a brand new manuscript on submission. #LxPChat

My favorite part is... well... editing! Reading and working with the manuscript to make it the best it can be. #LxPChat

In short: communication. I read and respond to their writing: asking questions, making suggestions, and being their cheerleader. #LxPChat

I do accept queries from agent-less authors. With that said, the stronger the query, the more likely I'll keep reading. #LxPChat

Easiest place to look is my inbox, reading submissions from agents and writers. Attending conferences. Pitch events like #DVpit. #LxPChat

I work on a little bit of everything on the adult side: romance, mysteries, upmarket fiction, the list goes on... #LxPChat

The "acquiring" part means I am also building my own list of authors and work on their books as an editor! (2/2) #LxPChat
