Tara is a seasoned literary agent with an eye for compelling stories across a range of genres. She will be assessing:
- Crime

- Mystery
- Narrative Non-Fiction
- Non-Fiction
- Romance
- Thrillers
- Women’s Fiction

Tara shares her perspective on what she seeks in a manuscript:

"I am always looking for a good story well told, a new twist on an old tale. Voice is the first thing I look for and narrative drive comes next. Whether a memoir or novel, I want something that would appeal to the book club reader, straddle the literary and commercial. I want to FEEL for the protagonist and care about the journey he, she, or they make. It has to be evident that the writer has read widely and researched the genre that they are writing in enough to make it a play on the bestsellers already out there."

This is your chance to get invaluable feedback and insights from one of the industry's top agents. Book your writing assessment at www.cyaconference.com/assessments
