BIO

While I mostly write fantasy (often with a nod towards horror), my reading tastes are broad, so I am open to a wide variety of manuscripts. Generally, I enjoy all manners of speculative fiction, more elevated prose, and character-based rather than plot-focused works. Humor is a plus, but not a requirement.
More specifically, I’ll read most types of fantasy and horror, but I have a particular love for literary speculative fiction. With SF, I tend to prefer books that take place in the near future versus big space operas. I also prefer work that is smack in the middle of the “cozy” to “grimdark” spectrum, versus either extreme. I love a genre weird book! Give me your speculative novels that you’re not sure how to categorize. Also give me your novels that look at familiar tropes through a new lens, especially if you're a writer from a marginalized community. Though I always enjoy a good romantic subplot, I am not the best fit for books where romance is the primary focus.
