I would like to find a critique partner who writes YA novels, but I'm willing to chat with adult writers as well. I would love to find fellow YA writers who write horror or thrillers! I also love urban fantasy, dystopian/post-apocalyptic, magical realism, and anything eccentric or unusual.
I am queer and grey ace, so if you write YA with characters who are bisexual/pansexual or on the asexual spectrum, I'd love to read that as well! This is the only case where I will consider contemporary.
I am a horror and fantasy geek with a love for post-apocalyptic worlds.
Current project: YA horror with paranormal elements
Past projects: a post-apocalyptic circus run by faeries, zombies, reincarnated ancient gods in a dystopian world, girls surviving a demon possession, and cyberpunk magical girls.
I am not the best fit for adult novels, unless you're writing horror or fantasy similar to Neil Gaiman or V. E. Schwab. I am definitely not interested in erotica. I would prefer not to critique high fantasy as I generally don't enjoy reading it. I would prefer not to read contemporary unless you are writing a bi/pan/ace main character.
