Horror of all kinds intrigues me, especially when it’s interweaved with a contemporary, fantasy, folklore, gothic, historical, horrormance, paranormal, psychological, or survival subgenre! I’m also drawn to stories that feature dread, sentient settings & descents into madness

In dark academia manuscripts, I look for atmospheric imagery and genre-blending elements in contemporary, gothic, historical, paranormal, or romantic subgenres. I also love when dark academia veers into magical libraries/museums, secret societies/cults, & mysterious friend groups!

I’m always a sucker for a good romance novel, so here are some things I look for in a romance manuscript. I especially love romance manuscripts with a contemporary, cozy, fantasy, gothic, historical, paranormal, sports, or romcom subgenre.
