What Kaitlyn likes to see in her inbox:

​- upper MG, YA, NA/A are her main interests

– Kaitlyn adores fantasy works (yes, that very much includes urban!) and time travel

– General Romance (erotic elements OK) and Contemporary Romance

– Historical Fiction: anything other than Henry VIII, Shakespeare, American Civil War, Greek gods/myths

– Contemporary can grab her attention only if the concept is unique and well-executed

– LGBT (as well as characters questioning their sexuality) welcome in all above genres

Kaitlyn is NOT accepting:

– Nonfiction
– Chapter or picture books
– Horror/thriller/suspense/mystery
– Romantic Suspense
– Novellas, poetry, or short story collections
– Storylines heavily dependent on religious motives/events/themes

Her favorite authors/books include the following: Cornelia Funke (Inkheart series); Michael Buckley (Undertow series); John Green (more Looking for Alaska, less An Abundance of Katherines); Gayle Forman (Just One Year and Just One Day); Lois Lowry (The Giver series); Scott O’Dell (Island of the Blue Dolphins). Her favorite tv shows are Doctor Who, Buffy, Supernatural, Firefly, basically the nerdier the fandom the better.
