I enthusiastically seek BIPOC, LGBTQAI+, disabled, neurodiverse, religious minority & otherwise underrepresented authors for my list & my goal is to publish books that prioritize making underrepped readers feel seen over making readers outside those groups comfortable

• Horror and supernatural fiction that radically represents and explores queer, female, and BIPOC rage
• Books that slide adeptly between humor and poignancy—if a book can make me laugh on one page and cry on the next, it wins my whole heart!
