WISHLIST

For all the books I work on, I prefer to work with queer creators; Black, Indigenous, creators of color; and disabled creators; and I strongly encourage those creators to send me their work. Regardless of genre, age, or subject, I like lighthearted, romantic, hopeful reads. I prefer books with a fast pace, high stakes, and strong emotional development for the main character(s). I prefer commerical/accesible writing, a romantic main or subplot, and stories with a strong hook. I am best for books with happy endings, themes of hope and joy. I love characters that are so stupid in love but don't realize it, ensemble casts, unusual settings, and comedy. Please make me laugh!

ADULT ROMANCE

I’ll always prioritize queer characters, characters of color, fat characters, and disabled characters. I love books with fierce protagonists that have distinct personalities, lots of humor, and a fast paced plot. I require that the book is body-positive. I love nearly any sub genre or niche of romance novels. I've been reading romance novels and fanfiction since I was a teenager, and have loved lots of different kinds of tropes, characters, constraints, and set ups. Just make sure to respect the rules of HEA and give me some good trope-filled romance!

Some specifics I would love to see in adult romance:

• Monsters

• Polycules, triads

• Trades workers/union jobs

• Main characters over 30

• Bossy bottoms

• Fat main characters

• Disabled main characters

• Lots of tropes

• Extra spice

• Will commit murder for the love interest

• Love interest seems morally gray but is actually a marshmallow with heart of gold underneath the hardshell exterior

GRAPHIC NOVELS

I like graphic novels for upper middle grade, young adult, new adult, and adult audiences. I like a diverse cast of characters, in nearly any genre or location. I love art that challenges traditional styles and is easily recognizable as belonging to a particular artist. I especially love when a book has strong themes of love and/or friendship, and is extra queer.

ILLUSTRATOR PORTFOLIOS

I like to see a decent sampling of your work, including anything from character design, to fan art, to sequentials (any paneled work, webcomic, zine, etc., will suffice). Please let me know whether you are exclusively an illustrator or are an author/illustrator.

YOUNG ADULT ROMANCE/CONTEMPORARY

I love YA where the main character(s) has average, everyday challenges and we see how they overcome them. I YA books that are lighthearted and emotionally poignant.

MEMOIR

I love books with humor and interesting perspectives, and enjoy a big personality or narration to go with the contents of the memoir. I am especially interested in authors writing about the intersections of their identities.

ADULT NONFICTION

I love creators with a fun and interesting platform, who are the experts in their field, and have something interesting and crucial to say. Subjects for this may include but are not limited to: neurodivergence, environmentalism, plants, animals, crafting, DIY, cleaning, homemaking, cooking, art, feminism, queer theory, parenting, and media criticism.
