I love an inclusive, swoonworthy romance that will make me root for your characters! I am also open to fantasy and contemporary with romantic elements, so long as it includes big feelings. I’m looking to mentor adult and new adult works, and I am open to contemporary, speculative, and high fantasy, including paranormal. If you are comping to oddly specific interests or fandoms, I love it. Here are some of mine: Star Wars, Star Trek, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, pretty much all CW shows, LOTR, mythology, and the list goes on. I also love to learn about a new fandom; for example, through a mentorship program I learned a deep love of Baldur’s Gate 3 and added that to my list. What I am saying is, I appreciate a good healthy hyperfixation. I’m particularly interested in supporting LGBTQIA+ writers, BIPOC, and other marginalized voices. Please include a content warning if your characters experience homophobia, racism, antisemitism, or Islamophobia; I am open to reading them, I just want to be in the right headspace. I am not a good fit for stories that glorify gun use or have main characters in the police or the military, or anything that contains on-page sexual assault, dubious consent, or death of children. I'm particularly good at feedback on structure, pacing, and emotional resolution.
