Elizabeth Soule

Elizabeth Soule is a YA and Adult Romance author represented by Morgan Hughes at FinePrint Literary Management. Her work has won first place in the ACFW’s First Impressions Contest and was selected as a winner for two mentorship programs, Author Mentor Match and RevPit. She lives on the Gulf Coast of Florida with her husband and two young daughters, where she leads a local writers’ group and teaches creative writing to homeschooled teens. When not immersed in the worlds of her characters, Elizabeth enjoys doing art projects and science experiments with her girls and spending time near the ocean.

As a past winner of two mentorships that helped me tremendously toward my goal of signing with an agent, I’d love the chance to pay it forward as a mentor! I would be looking for a mentee who is determined, committed to achieving their goals (whether they be trad or self-pub), and open to honest feedback. I would provide an edit letter and potentially a second read, as well as be open to brainstorming in the DMs and offering querying support/advice as needed. The tone of my mentor-mentee interactions would be positive and friendly with open communication––I’d want my mentee to feel comfortable reaching out throughout the process.

YA:

  • Romance
  • Contemporary
  • Contemporary with speculative elements
  • Grounded fantasy
  • Dystopian
  • Thriller

YA authors whose work I’m drawn to include Jenny Han, Lynn Painter, Kara McDowell, Kasie West, Scott Westerfield, Holly Jackson.

In Adult:

  • Witty, voicey romance in the vein of Emily Henry or Sophie Kinsella
  • Domestic thrillers similar to Liane Moriarty
  • Book club fiction with complex themes, such as The Wedding People by Alison Espach

Not for me:

  • Children’s fiction younger than YA
  • Horror
  • Dark romance
  • Erotica
