I grew up in a literary world that valued-highly-BIPOC pain and poverty. So much so, that those narratives became commonplace and make up a small portion of the literary canon. With every direction I took with my career, my goal has been simple: to obtain books that can hold perennial and redefine BIPOCs places in the literary canon. Saying that,  I am looking for works that depict BIPOC voices in our full spectrum- from the most mundane to the most spectacular lifestyles, from the bittersweet to the joyous. 

​​

I deeply value detail, and lean more towards a show me, rather than tell me sort of narration. I love when writers give me a chance to critically think about the messages that they want to send. I do not enjoy direct or surface writing. I love when a writer digs into the complications and puts you into the room where everything happens. I also enjoy stories that have a great balance of plot with multiple subplots and practically have an ensemble of characters.  I adore high intellect, morally clear, soft-hearted characters. I also like cold and decisive characters. 

​​

I am currently interested in accepting Adult, New Adult fiction, and Craft/Homemaking. I do not accept Picture Books, Middle Grade, Young Adult, legal, mystery/spy thrillers, paranormal, religious, hyper-sexual, or dark romance.

 

SFF/ Fantasy 

I have a pretty short fuse with speculative works. I am not accepting any religious, mythology, hyper sexual, magical, or horror works. I do have a love for dystopian and science fiction. I am often intrigued with aliens, parallel universes, and time travel. Alongside these genres, I love discussions about humanity, family love, romantic passion, friendship, agape, self-love, and complicated decisions.

 

I am looking for works along the line of: 

Aliens/Superpowers:

  - The Host by Stephanie Meyers

  - The Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout

  -  Nobody by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

• Candor by Pam Bachorz

New Adult/ Adult Romance: 

Something to know about me: I am absolutely a romantic girl! The very epicenter of any of my favorite stories is love in all of its types (passionate, family, self-love, friendship, etc.). I am a romantic by defintion: I love stories that provoke layered and intertwined emotions.

 

I am looking for stories that focus on mundane daily living, persons that work uncommonly discussed jobs (corporate & niche jobs), slice-of-life, persons diagnosed with physical disabilities, medical, historical, and light academia. I am a foreign story fanatic (I.e. Chinese historical, Turkish modern, and Korean modern stories.) I love dream/career-driven characters, female centric narratives, appropriate age gaps, and mischievous male leads.  I love to read works that simply allow characters to practice their culture and language as if they are telling the story to someone from their community. I also love characterization that allows room for each character to be their own person- having their own identity, ambitions, and connections- while still falling in love.

​

I am not a big fan of second chance romance, erotica, romantasy, and some enemies to lovers. I do not accept dark romance, smut, religious, or “cozy” romance. I am looking for rather emotionally and situationally layered romantic stories. While tropes and cliches aren’t attractive to me, I love when a writer does crazy or funny twists with them- making them their own.

  - The Rational Life  (Chinese Drama) 

  - You Might Be A Match by Qing Mei (Also known as, Moonlight (Chinese Drama))
