Speculative Fiction

Things I love and would love to see in my submissions inbox: unicorns, mermaids, witches, vampires, fairies, werewolves, pegasi (is that the official plural?). #MSWL

FYI I prefer speculative fiction to high fantasy & don’t like portal fantasy. Send me spec fic & fantasy set in this world or almost this world. #mswl

Trust Black Women and Paid Them Damnit @CreatyveBooks

Dear YA,

Stop saying certain genres are dead. I'm still waiting for my Black Witches. My Black shapeshifters, vampires, fairies, demon slayers. Hell I'm still waiting for my Black Love story. Also fluffy carefree fat girls.

There's a demand so make it happen

#MSWL ALL OF THIS 🙌🏼💜📚

I will read your Black witches/ shapeshifter/ vampire/ demon slayer manuscripts TOMORROW.
