I am a mean ass stemmy gay bitch who hangs out with cool ass queer motherfuckers who ball out on a regular basis and don’t give a fuck about the capitalistic wet dream of a pocket white fence and that’s the shit I want to read and write about.

Why do men get all the fun of being dark, broody, and traumatized in Romance? 😀 (obvi a v general statement meant to express I want to see dark, broody, traumatized women in my Romance queries!) #mswl

I love Romance, but I also love all the ways we mess up and/or complicate our lives CHASING it. Also, chasing monogamy is boring me rn. I’d love to see a QUEER BIPOC coming-of-age/women’s fiction abt a fun-loving, bighearted dyke whose quest for love leads to selfish chaos. #mswl

Query Manager is live again!

Good time as any that I am looking for YA and Adult fiction, with an emphasis on Contemporary, Romance (but not necessarily rom-coms), and Horror! #mswl I want funny, sharp, and dark wit the most :)

A thread of recent faves in next tweet!

My daily life is centered around being fine as hell in all-black and dodging lesbian drama while throwing ass. Like please, give me characters who are about that life!!!! #mswl

That whole social climbing, marriage aspirations is not my lane, honey.

Transplants just don’t talk about cities the way natives do and that’s the voices I want to see more of in fiction across all genres. #mswl

Happy Friday!

Want to let #amquerying folks know that my current #mswl is exclusively (hyperbole!) sapphic, dark, comedic horror feat. BIPOC casts!

I’m a fan of Scream, Fear Street 1994, Urban Legend (2001), The Descent

I’m that goofy bitch from the block w/as big mouth!!!

Needed more words πŸ˜…:

Looking for this in YA and Adult!

If you don’t have horror, my next wish is contemporary women’s fiction featuring a main character or ensemble cast in the mid-20 - mid-30s. I’m not married and don’t want kids; I have hangovers and lesbian drama πŸ₯³ #mswl
