Manuscript Wishlist
Overall, I love stories with a compelling hook, an emphasis on character development, high stakes, and plot twists.
I enjoy reading stories with diverse voices from all backgrounds.
I am always intrigued by historical or unique settings.
The most important thing for me when reading a manuscript is to connect to the protagonist. I often find myself connecting to vulnerable protagonists who discover their strengths. I am also captivated by morally gray or flawed characters.
In romance, my favorite tropes are slow burn, banter, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, and forbidden love.
Feel free to follow my wishlist posts on the link below.
