In children's fiction, she is interested in picture books, distinctive voices, and above all, character-driven stories.
In nonfiction, she is interested in anything and everything Hollywood, especially celebrity biographies and autobiographies; also, memoirs about people who have overcome incredible odds, books about the arts and performing arts, behind-the-scenes-type books, books about popular culture, and self-help books of all kinds.
