Overview
The complete Ravenclaw package, EDITOR CASSANDRA, earned her MA in creative writing with a concentration on novel writing from Newcastle University. She spent a few years as an agent intern before joining the staff for rights reversions and as a guide for self publishing. Her international perspective gives her a unique edge in the industry and she reads widely to stay abreast of the market. While YA is where her heart lives, she also has experience in NA and adult crossovers, as well as upper middle grade. She is thrilled each time projects go on to sell to publishers and top the NYTimes Bestseller lists. With a quick turnaround time and experience you can trust, your work will be transformed into a book you can afford to be proud of. She can be found in drinking tea and playing with her dog Mollie in Capac, Michigan, online at, on twitter @OnlyCassandra, and IG @thatwemightfly.
