As a reader and writer, I love stories that feature humor, heart, and hope. I’m known for writing soft/cute stories, but I’m also very open to books full of drama, chaos, and spice. I’m almost always first pulled in by chef’s kiss dialog and solid characters. In short, if I care about the characters and you can make me feel something, you’re set.

 

A note on diverse stories: The books I write include diversity based on my own background (lesbian and fat rep). My preference is to mentor a marginalized writer (LGBTQIA, BIPOC, disabled, etc.). That said, I won’t reject a story solely based on it not being from a marginalized writer. I want potential mentees to have their best possible shot at finding the right mentor, so if you’re on the fence between me and someone else or want to know if I’d be interested in X type of book, please reach out with questions.

 

Some specifics that interest me:

• Stories with humor, heart, and hope (Make me feel things!)

• Make it gay, make it gay, make it gay! (I’m very open to anything LGBTQIA, if that wasn’t already obvious) • All the nerdy things (fandom, fanfic, conventions, etc.)

• Anything dealing with the internet/social media

• Found family / Strong friendships

• Imperfect relationships (friendship breakups, messy siblings, family problems, etc.)

• Sunshine/Grump

• Enemies-to-lovers / Rivals-to-lovers / Friends-to-lovers

• There’s only one bed!

• Stories that feature mental health, mental illness or therapy

• Holiday books with a unique twist (I LOVED Dash & Lily)

• A unique, modernized retelling of a classic book

• A unique setting that feels like a character

• Pets with their own personalities
