So for all my wanna-be writers out there, rumor has it that Carina Press editor Gina Bernal will be accepting pitches at the Here Be Magic Blog tomorrow, April 6th, 2011. The post with instructions will go live in the morning and Gina will choose one winner to recieve a full or partial request from them. Check it out.
I've added her Bio from the Carina Press FB page below.
Gina Bernal
When Gina Bernal graduated with a degree in History and Literature from Harvard University, some (i.e. her parents) thought she would go on to further academic heights (i.e. law school). But Gina, a lover of commercial fiction, wanted to make books her career and jumped at the chance to become an editorial assistant in New York City (“They’re going to pay you how little?” her parents cried). Not counting her college stint as a reviewer for Romantic Times, she has over 6 years of traditional publishing experience, first working on romance and mysteries at the Berkley Publishing Group, then selling the heck out of books as editor of the Doubleday and Rhapsody Book Clubs. For Carina Press, she is actively seeking romance of all subgenres and heat levels, women’s fiction, historical fiction and suspense/mystery novels with strong female leads. Gina loves books that make her laugh, books that make her cry and books that do both. She’s a sucker for tortured heroes, unusual settings and classic themes with new twists.
