Bio
Hi! I'm Alexandra Vasti, literature professor and romance writer. I write historical romance (with St. Martin's Press) and paranormal romance (with Berkley). I also have experience as a hybrid (self-pub and trad pub) author. I live in New Orleans, and I'm represented by BookEnds Literary. Some of my favorite writers include Brigitte Knightley, Cat Sebastian, Sherry Thomas, Tia Williams, Ali Hazelwood, and Talia Hibbert. I'm really excited for my fourth year mentoring with SmoochPit!!

(MSWL)
I am probably MOST interested in historical romance, but I love romance of all kinds and have mentored across subgenres. 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 MCs. (Also, I have really dorky energy, so if you have something nerdy and/or with lots of deep dives into a topic you love, I'd love to see it!)
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.
