DIAL A FOR AUNTIES @thewritinghippo is my latest #MSWL obsession! It's the romcom I'd like to rep: dark AND funny; accessible AND intelligent. I also ๐Ÿ’œ how it's the story of a dysfunctional family & a trad b-meets-g love story. Please query me if your work is a comp!

#MSWL Always want gritty, dark, sink-your-teeth-in PNR with the old-school feel of JR Ward or Lara Adrian, but also want to see your paranormal romcom. If you can make me laugh, cry, or sit on the edge of my seat while taking me on an escape from the ordinary, send it my way!

Romance: I'm looking for contemporary romance and rom-coms with a fresh hook and voice, high concept, as well as clear chemistry. I don't currently have a favorite trope, but I always love tension of all sorts and lots of humor :)
