If you are an author hoping to be traditionally published, check out my Manuscript Wish List manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/brandy-vallance/

Within the fantasy genre, I yearn for fairytale fiction in the vein of Stephanie Garber, wholesome quests that bring me back to my first reading of The Hobbit and whimsical stories that feel low stakes in terms of plot, but convey a sense of jeopardy in the emotional stakes ⚔️♥️
