I admire the enthusiasm Bookends shows for writers. This agency truly advocates not only for its clients, but for aspiring writers in the query trenches. I’m also a big fan of many of the writers repped at Bookends.
What genres do you write? Read?
I write literary and upmarket suspense/thrillers. I read widely across genres, but my favorites are psychological thrillers and anything gothic (early gothic, 19th century gothic, southern gothic).
Plotter or pantster?
Definitely a pantster. I wish I was more of a plotter, but for me, the story comes as I write. Even if I go in with a plan, the writing usually takes me somewhere else.
Synopses, love them or hate ‘em?
Hate. I anguish over these—trying to sum up the major plot points, describe characters, settings, etc.—in such a short space. Nightmare!
Do you have a writing playlist or a vision board? If so, what’s on them?
I don’t use vision boards, but I do listen to music when I write—mostly instrumental, sometimes classical. Anything with lyrics distracts me too much.
Drink of choice when writing? When not writing?
Coffee when writing, a glass of wine when not.
Day or Night writer?
Day. I have a set routine in the mornings. I can edit at night, but I get most of my drafting done in the day.
