Barbara Poelle
Originally from the west coast, Barbara Poelle worked for a Bay Area Publisher before accepting the offer to join Irene's team.
A voracious reader and award winning debater, Barbara is not only able to devour manuscripts, but fight for them as well... and her very brief stint as a stand-up comic comes in handy for those particularly raucous debates --both in the office and at home.
With her strong background in editing and copywriting, Barbara has no qualms about helping writers turn a "maybe" into a "yes", and values client communication above all else.
Barbara is passionate about thrillers, mysteries, literary and commercial fiction and historical romance. On the non-fiction side, she does the rare memoir but is currently seeking non-fiction humor books on family relationships and social issues.
