Bethany is aquiring:
For Nonfiction, I'm looking for books within these genres:
- COOKBOOKS!!!!!
- How-to
- Self-help
- Christian Living
- Lifestyle
- Home & Garden
- Gift
- Bible studies
I am not open to devotionals at this time.
For Fiction, I'm looking for books within these genres:
- Historical, particularly if there is time travel or time slip into the past (but not sci-fi or time travel into the future). I love English history and grew up reading every Victoria Holt novel I could find.
- Christian suspense (Steven James, Brandilyn Collins) I read Steven's The Pawn and instantly went through the entire series.
- Psychological thrillers and domestic suspense (J.T. Ellison, Lisa Jewell, Tarryn Fisher, Jeneva Rose, Andrea Bartz). My undergrad degree includes a focus in Behavioral Social Science along with a minor in Criminal Justice and I'm obsessed with every crime documentary out there.
- Cozy Mysteries (Victoria Gilbert, Ellery Adams) Regarding cozies: please make sure that your cozy mystery is actually a cozy mystery before submitting it. If you’re not sure, please check out this article: “What is a Cozy Mystery?” to ensure you’re hitting the crucial elements that set cozies apart from other mysteries.?
For KidLit:
- I’m specifically looking for humorous, character-driven picture books that are high-concept with mass commercial appeal. (Grumpy Monkey, How to Catch a Unicorn, How to Babysit a Grandpa).
Please note: I’m only open to picture books from people that I’m meeting at conferences or by referral. I am not open to middle grade or young adult at this time.
