Katherine is looking for:
I am always looking for a bold and/or distinctive voice; a richly drawn setting; and a depiction of a world that teaches me something about a present-day place or community, or a specific moment in history.
I also have soft spots for humor, lyrical prose, and knotty family dynamics.
