Bio

Karmen Lee is a lifelong Southerner living it up in Atlanta, Georgia, with her kid, her cats and humidity. When not packing lunches or working her nine-to-five, she can be found drinking coffee too late at night, watching House Hunters International and dreaming up ways to show her readers a good time.

​

Her subgenres include sports, smalltown and romantic comedy, but all of her books feature queer characters, spice and a healthy dose of swoon.

Wishlist
(MSWL)

My wishlist includes contemporary and fantasy romances with a diverse cast and character-driven stories. I love when books take familiar tropes and mix-match them in unique ways. Found family is a dynamic I enjoy and I love when there are strong side-characters that make me want to dive deeper into the story and beg for them to have books of their own. I'm particularly seeking romance centering BIPOC and/or LGBTQ main characters and sports romances featuring less popular sports.

Mentoring Style

I tend to adapt my style to meet a mentee's needs, but I am a more facilitative mentor. I like to help explore different ways to approach a project to help decide on the best angle for the mentee.
