Cindy has ten years of experience in working with editors, agents, and publishers, as an author, on the "other side," of the desk (she uses a pen name). Cindy opened Birch Literary to help other writers on their own path to publication.

SEEKING: In adult fiction, Cindy is looking for traditional mysteries (standard PI, classic detective, or cozy), true crime, police procedural, thriller, and suspense. In children's fiction, Cindy would like to see middle grade and YA (sweet, quirky, mystery, cozy). Please do not send MG or YA that has dark or heavy topics. In nonfiction, Cindy loves books about nature (kids and adults), memoir, self-help from experts, and personal narrative. At this time, please do not send romance or picture books.
