After two decades in publishing—working with incredible authors, unforgettable stories, and a team that feels like family—I’m stepping into something new. Something that’s been quietly growing in my heart for a long time.
Today, I’m thrilled to introduce Tsunami Literary Ink, a literary agency dedicated to championing clean, powerful storytelling that moves hearts and endures.
The name comes from a belief I’ve held for years: that stories begin softly, like a whisper in the dark, but can rise to become waves that change everything they touch. Words have that kind of power—to heal, to inspire, to unite, to remind us of who we are and who we can become.
Tsunami Literary Ink exists to nurture those kinds of stories—stories that build faith, courage, and connection; stories that reflect goodness without losing depth; stories that are crafted with care and purpose.
As an agent, my goal is simple: to stand beside authors as both advocate and editor, helping them navigate the publishing world with clarity, creativity, and integrity. Whether through manuscript development, query coaching, or full representation, I want every writer who works with me to feel seen, supported, and inspired.
This next chapter feels a little like standing on the edge of the sea—full of possibility, a bit of uncertainty, and a lot of awe. But that’s the beauty of the creative life: every wave starts with a single drop of courage.
So here’s to new beginnings. Here’s to stories that start as a whisper and rise like a wave—transforming the hearts they touch.
