BIO:

Hi! I'm Alexandra Vasti, a literature professor and romance novelist. My first three novellas are self-published, and I have a series of three funny, high-steam historical romance novels coming out with St. Martin's Press in 2024-5. I'm represented by BookEnds, and some of my favorite romance writers include Tessa Dare, Sherry Thomas, Kate Clayborn, and Talia Hibbert. I live in New Orleans, and I have a ton of kids. (Okay, 3, but it feels like a thousand.)

MSWL:

I am probably MOST interested in historical, fantasy, or adventure romances, but I love romance of all kinds. I especially love books with hooky premises that I've never heard before, humor, and open-door steam. I'm very eager to read more queer and/or neurodivergent MCs. I'm not a great fit for strong religious arcs.

MENTORING STYLE

I am very friendly and soft! I will NOT shred your MS to pieces; I'm all about constructive feedback that makes you want to keep going.
