as an #mswl specifically, I'd love a Viera-esque witch protagonist who can commune with the spirit realm and has a connection with a spirit that could help or destroy the world.

it's very Korra-esque but without the manipulation of setting a great evil spirit free. more like therapy adventures?

okay first up is AURORA! a dimension hopping witch who can shift between the physical and spiritual realms. during her research and travels, she happened upon a wayward demigod who became twisted and lost to time.

As I’m thinking about my #MSWL for when I reopen, I really want some unhinged romance. Like Horror Romance or something with a vigilante “take down the patriarchy” vibe. Maybe a psychological suspense romance, though I’m not sure what that looks like. Maybe something dark or why choose.

The first of the new year will be here before we know it, and I'll be #openforqueries again. Can I tell you how excited I am? Looking for Christian NF and fiction, as well as non-faith-based projects. Can't wait to see what comes in. Link in my bio. #mswl

I’m closed to subs through Dec, but I really want to find a kid friendly cookbook from a Latinx or BIPOC author featuring recipes from their culture. Something that adults/kids can do together in the kitchen. If you have this or know someone who does, please msg me ❤️ #MSWL

very specific things I am looking for right now #mswl
- non-western retellings
- Goosebumps for adults
- anything that can be comped to THE REAPPEARANCE OF RACHEL PRICE (YA & adult)
- just unhinged FMCs (take that as you will)
- something that will make me sleep with lights on
