Bootcamp Mentor Bio & Wishlist

WISHLIST

I'm seeking YA 15+ / NA / Adult only in the genres of Romance, Fantasy (Urban, dark, epic, historical...etc.), Paranormal (ghosts, witches, werewolves, vampires...you name it), teen fiction. I'll accept Science Fiction but I'm looking for worlds and characters like Jupiter Ascending, space operas like Star Wars/ Cowboy Bebop, or something more contemporary sci-fi like Stranger Things. Mature books are acceptable. I love myself some violence, cursing, and hot sex.

I'm not a good fit for Horror/Mystery/Thriller.

Wordcount not exceeding 100k (if it slightly beyond 100k, please ask directly if I'd be willing to accept that) 

Willing to work with ongoing projects. 

Do want:

Diversity amongst your characters.

Ensemble cast would be fun! I'm always down for stories told with multiple POV's or main characters. (As long as it is done well!).

Retellings are welcomed and encouraged!

Bring me your fantasy worlds. Be they high, low, dark, urban, futuristic, steampunk, cyberpunk (I think you get the picture).

I need more f/f romances in my life. I don't care if it's Fantasy, Science Fiction, Contemporary, Paranormal. I WILL DEVOUR IT. (Of course, all queer representation is welcome).

WITCHES! If you've got something like Sabrina, be it the 90's classic or the darker Netflix version, I want that desperately. Even better if there is a talking cat!

GIVE ME HEART STOPPING ACTION. I want epic sword fights, grand airship battles, bloody war sequences. Make me question whether my favorite characters will survive.

Dragons. I have a fondness for them and I want more of them in the books I read. Please, give them to me.

SISTERHOOD AND FRIENDSHIP. I'm tired of seeing women always fighting each other in books or turning on one another. I want something that shows the power of women coming together. Using their brains, beauty, and brawn to dismantle the patriarchy. If you have a story like this, I want it and I will fight for it.

Sport romances! (And if it's queer all the better!) I'd like to see more than just a football captain and a cheerleader falling for each other. I want to see the sport theme being a central part of the story.

Give me your soft boys and angry girls.

Pirates of the space or sea variety.

Vampires. That's all. Just bring me sexy vamps that I can swoon over.

STRONG ROMANTIC SUBPLOTS. Whether it be a slow or fast burn. I need it in my life.

SUPERHEROES! Or super powers in general. There has been a gaping hole in my heart since the Infinity war. Bring me new disaster children to love.

Do NOT want:

Romanticized abuse (this includes rape). Let me clarify, in my own books (several actually) there are references to rape and abuse, but it's not sweet or romantic. There is a way to write about this topic that is empowering and healing. If your book handles it appropriately than there is nothing to worry about.

Miscommunication as a plot device. It's okay if there's miscommunications. That's a normal part of life when you're trying to mesh all sorts of unique people together. However, if the miscommunication is the only thing keeping two lovers apart, or tearing apart friendships, etc., I don't want that.

Harmful tropes (like Kill your gays, toxic masculinity), bigotry, racism, homophobia, or anything else that goes against Wattpad content guidelines.

If you are interested or have specific questions about the mentor contest check out BootcampMentors profile. 

*please note your book doesn't need to match my wishlist specific wants exactly. Consider those more of a guideline and that I'll rate those books higher in my desire to want to work them if they include such elements. But its hard to name everything I'd be interested in. So when in doubt ask questions.
