Cortney Radocaj 🏳️‍🌈💖💜💙

as always, i am prioritizing marginalized authors—disabled, BIPOC, queer, neurodivergent, etc. my main goal is to lift and champion authors from underrepresented communities!

hi hello #mswl please????????

it's officially pride month!!! 🏳️‍🌈 and while ANY time of year is the perfect time to send me your queer MS

if you were waiting for a sign

this is it

send me the queer shinies ✨

#mswl

Queer contemporary—delve into hard topics but also make me smile!! Like contempts lighter in tone than other genres

Gideon-Harrow dynamic (HAS to be queer in some way) y’all these two *chefs kiss*

Queer ensemble casts!!!

Trans/non-binary MCs and LIs!!

Romantic threads!! In!!! EVERYTHING!!! EVEN BETTER IF IT’S QUEER (seriously y’all I love me some intense yearning/pining make me want to shake the book and scream GOD DAMMIT KISS ALREADY)

OKAY HERE WE GO:

f/f Hades and Persephone retelling! As with ALL retellings, keep it subtle!! But UGH THAT PAIRING I WANT IT AND I WANT IT QUEER

I’m always wanting this but like

Reading sawkill girls recently has made my want for f/f a goddamn obsession

SEND ME ALL YOUR SAPPHIC SHIT

Especially ones with girls made of razor-edges shards and anger and spite—I NEED IT

#mswl

#writing #writingcommunity #amquerying #amediting #amwriting

And as always… any and everything queer. AND PARTICULARLY GIRLS KISSING GIRLS.

YA fantasy! I’m all about witchy blood magic—darker is better (does anyone see a trend here yet). Queer! Enemies to lovers! Magic with consequences! Tangled friend/family relationships! Unique plot lines with lots of tension/conflict! AND DON’T FORGET THE KISSING I NEED KISSING

Haven’t found my novel written in verse yet—particularly wanting this for YA!! Contemporary preferred—again melancholy, mental health/queer centered, darker is better. DYING FOR LYRICAL VOICES HERE.

YA contemporary! I’m dying for a queer story revolving, especially one revolving around mental health. I want unique concepts and HIGH STAKES and lots of conflict. I tend to be drawn to more melancholy tones in contemporary—but adore humor and light sprinkled throughout!

#MSWL I am DYING for a queer, #ownvoices contemporary surrounding mental health

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD GIVE FOR A QUEER STORY ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS WITH A LYRICAL VOICE

(hint: it rhymes with bowl and the devil would be happy to trade me)

I need more f/f in my box.

SEND ME ALL THE GIRLS KISSING GIRLS.

#MSWL

Bc I haven't seen NEARLY as many queer MS's as I'd like in my box:

Gimme all your lesbian, gay, bi, pan, demi, aro, ace, trans, nonbinary books!! Anything under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella--I WANT IT.

Make my little bisexual heart happy & SEND ME ALL THE QUEER THINGS #MSWL 🌈🌈🌈

And on that same note—any an all LGBTQIA+ rep. ALL OF IT.

I WANT REALLY QUEER BOOKS Y’ALL.
