MSWL:

Even though I write historical, I love reading in different genres and I would be a good fit for historical, fantasy, or contemporary romance. I include a lot of humour in my writing, but my tastes as a reader include both light-hearted and more angsty stories.

I am happy to receive work by authors and featuring characters from all backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Monogamous couples or poly / why choose romance are all great. I read all heat levels, but not erotica.

Some tropes I love include: fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, mutual pining, rivals or friends to lovers.

I love cinnamon rolls, but I can also get behind a good brooding/mysterious LI. I am not a good fit for alpha-type characters. If your LI is doing something that would be a red flag in real life, like slut shaming or getting controlling or smashing things while they're angry, it's not for me. That's not to say I don't like flawed or "unlikable" characters! But the flaws need to be something that doesn't overlap with abusive or bigoted behaviour.

Please do not send me anything that contains on-page sexual violence, or where the threat of sexual violence is used to up dramatic tension. I don't mind reading about characters that have trauma in their past as long as it is handled with sensitivity and not for shock value, but I prefer not to read about it unfolding in real-time. I'm also not a good fit for police or military MCs, or age-gap if the younger party is under 25 (youngish characters that are close in age are fine).
