Welcome to BookEnds, Randee Green!

Randee has actually been a client of mine for almost three years now, but I’m delighted to be making this belated introduction. Earlier this year we sold her debut mystery, CRIMINAL MISDEEDS, to Camel Press, and you’ll be able to read that in Fall 2018. If Shameless met Duck Dynasty and had a murder thrown in, you might […]

#TBT Tales from the BookEnds Archives, A Christmas Story
Nov 30, 2017
In 1999 I had a brainstorm on the long subway ride from my job in Manhattan to my apartment in Brooklyn. I could do exactly what I was already doing, but on my own terms, as my own boss, and with my own rules. And BookEnds was born. I’m not going to say it was […]

Cozy Mysteries, The Hygge of the Mystery World
Nov 29, 2017
Anyone who follows BookEnds on Instagram might have noticed that I’m a little obsessed with Hygge. I’ve actually checked The Little Book of Hygge out of the library multiple times just because the book makes me feel so Hyggeish. Hygge, in a nutshell, is a warm comfortable space that gives you a feeling of safety […]

Welcome to BookEnds, Julia Bennet!
Nov 22, 2017
I am incredibly excited to introduce you to Julia Bennet! It’s actually a bit of a funny story how I came to represent her. This is what happened. I was going through submissions one Sunday night and opened up Julia’s. I normally don’t read the synopsis first, but I did in her case. And, as […]

Welcome to BookEnds, Kim Long!
Nov 17, 2017
It’s time to meet, Kim Long, my other middle grade author! Kim took a chance when she queried me. I apparently missed her during Pitch Madness, but she thought we would be a good fit anyways. And she was right! Since day one, Kim fit right in with #TeamNat and it’s hard to believe it […]

Welcome to BookEnds, Nicole Clarke!
Nov 16, 2017
Tell us a bit about your writing process. Where do you write, and how often? I work full-time as a patent agent, so I write during lunch or after work wherever I can (although it’s usually in my kitchen). Now that I work from home and no longer commute to an office, I’m able to […]

Welcome to BookEnds, Margaret Finnegan!
Nov 15, 2017
I’m so thrilled to welcome Margaret Finnegan to #TeamMarchini and BookEnds Literary! Margaret’s contemporary middle grade immediately pulled me in with a pitch-perfect mg voice and an amazing opening scene. I also just love Hank and his sometimes-antagonist Maisie (particularly when it comes to Maisie’s sense of logic.) This manuscript, Booler, is an act of love, […]

You Career and Social Media
Nov 14, 2017
Recently I had a conversation with a mother who had warned her daughter to get off all social media and/or change her name. Her fear was that future employers would see what she was doing and she would lose out on a job opportunity. I think that makes perfect sense…five years ago. When building a […]
