Top Reads for 2020! And What’s Next?

The year of hell *cough* I mean 20202 is over and I’m staring at my Goodreads Reading Challenge and…. crying. I tell everyone that I’m not a particularly fast reader, but I still always manage to get at least 40-70 books in a year. But this year I only managed 30. *cries in unread TBR pile* However, I was reading a ton of submissions. I signed eight clients this year (authors and illustrators).…

Welcome Natasha Siegel!

Welcome Saint Gibson!

I’m excited to introduce my new client, Saint Gibson!

I had Saint’s partial while I was in the middle of nowhere camping and was very upset when I got to the end and had no signal to request the full.

Saint’s manuscript is…

Is there an author you love so much you have to buy like every version of their book? @veschwab is that author for me. I had to get this paperback of THE NEAR WITCH to go along with all my other paperbacks of hers. Doesn't hurt to also have the hardcovers too! 🤣 #thenearwitch #bookstagram #book #reading #amreading #literaryagent #fiction #paperback #fantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Ha67SAVT1/?igshid=oenqjanqd3cs

2020 Will be a Good Year

2020 Will be a Good Year

I’m starting 2020 with a new outlook.

Previous years have not treated me well (at least in my home life), and the second half of 2019 started looking up–on a personal and professional note. So, I am declaring 2020 to be a good year.

My mantra this year is, “speak it out loud, and it shall happen.” I’ll be working on talking about positively and saying the things I want to happen. No more,…

About Me

Tara wants nothing more than to live and breathe literature. 

While every other person grew up wanting to be Cinderella, Tara dreamed about being Belle. Not because she wanted a Beast to call her own. No, she wanted to spend her days with her nose stuck in a book and to find a home with a massive library.

Before coming to Corvisiero, Tara interned for Entangled Publishing reading Romance,…
