~ Contemporary Romance
~ Romantic Comedies
~ Romantic Suspense/Mystery
~ Romantic Paranormal
~ New Adult Romance
~ Romantic Fantasy (romance with fantasy, not fantasy in general)
~ Inspirational Romance
By romance, I mean books in which the relationship between the couple is the PRIMARY story and ends with a happily ever after or happily for now.
~ YA Fantasy
~ Cozy
~ Humorous (ala Janet Evanovich's Stefanie Plum and Fox & O'Hare)
~ Sleuthing Couples (ala The Thin Man, JD Robb's Eve and Roarke, Tommy and Tuppance, etc)
No erotica, historical romance (unless humorous or fantasy/paranormal), women's fiction, science fiction, horror, anything that doesn't meet "romance" as outlined above.
If you're an expert either by training or by experience and have a DEVOPED PLATFORM, I represent the following nonfiction categories:
~ Small/home/online business
~ Marketing
~ Success-oriented self-help, personal development (how-to books designed to help others achieve. I'd love to have the next Atomic Habits, Four-Hour Workweek, or Crush It!)
~ New Age/ Spiritual Self-Help
~ Writing/authorship/publishing
I don't represent memoir, including personal accounts meant to inspire others.
Please send your query and FULL PROPOSAL that include the first 2 chapters. Nonfiction submissions that don't include a full proposal won't be accepted.
Leslie Truex began her writing career by accident. After starting a career website in 1998, she wrote two traditionally published non-fiction books, was the home business expert at About.com (now DotDash: The Balance Small Business), and her articles have appeared in Entrepreneur, Personal Branding Blog, and Business 2 Community.
However, her passion lies in writing fiction. She is the author of a dozen romance and mystery novels using a pen name. She is passionate about helping writers through her online community for romance writers, and as the President of the Virginia Writers Club. She's excited to work with writers in getting their works published through Blue Ridge Literary Agency.
In her spare time, she does her best to get through her TBR list, continues to write fiction, and indulges in her passion for Happy Planners.
