I’m here for ALLLL the fantasy romance & romantasy works. I’m especially on the hunt for fantasy with strong romance plotlines and character-driven plots. I want to see real people represented in fantasy settings—not just heroes with a bunch of cool powers without limitations.

​

I love high fantasy, but I’m also a big fan of low fantasy and spec! Give me your weird post-apocalyptic vampires and sentient houses. 

​

Outside of fantasy, I’m also interested in dark romance—if you have something gritty that’s going to make me swoon, I want to see it!

I’m especially looking for:

• Characters who struggle with mental health, BIPOC stories (especially Latine rep!!), LGBTQ+ rep (especially bi rep!!), and cross-cultural couples!

• Angst, angst, and more angst. I want to hurt with your characters, I want to pine with your characters, I want to scream!!

• Unique worlds and lush, evocative settings 

• Morally grey, broody characters who have a reason to be broody. 

• Enemies-to-lovers, grumpy x sunshine, rivals, second chance romance, or the one bed trope. 

• Love interests that are hopelessly romantic but also complex and tortured 

• Any spice level is welcome!

• Anything that comps Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross, The Honey Witch by Sydney Shields, The God and the Gumiho by Sophie Kim, or reminds you of Graceling by Kristin Cashore. 

​

I’m not the best fit for: 

• Love triangles that are going to hurt my feelings

• Chosen One plotlines that come without struggle

• Lower YA books

I’m open to, but need a warning for:

• Cheating plotlines

• Emotional or physical abuse by a partner that is on-page or mentioned

Mentoring Style

My goal is to establish a mentoring relationship that lasts beyond Smoochpit that is open, honest, and on even footing. This is YOUR book, and I want to be its biggest cheerleader while providing constructive feedback. I hope to provide support through the whole process, from revision to querying and beyond. I'm open to video chats, phone calls, emails--whatever your comfort level is and whatever your needs are. I never want you to feel like you have to question whether or not to reach out to me and ask me a question.
