Authors, agents, and publishers looking for reviews:

Please email me or DM me on twitter to offer ARCs or request reviews with ARC or Review in the subject of the email.

  • I prioritize self published books and small indie houses

  • I prioritize novellas

  • I prioritize books with low number of reviews and ratings

  • See my philosophy for reviewing books for details of how I treat different publishing methods

  • I do not guarantee that I will read or review ARCs

  • I do not guarantee a positive review


I am looking for fantasy and sci-fi for adults. I read novellas and novels, although I prioritize novellas. I prefer books with at least one PoV character who is female. I prefer books with LGBT representation, particularly in main characters. I will read books with a strong romantic subplot, but I prefer for that romance to be sapphic. I do not read short stories. I do not read YA or MG. I do not read erotica (although I will read books from other genres that may have explicit sex scenes, I simply do not want to read books that are exclusively erotica). I do not read ebooks at this time. I prefer paperbacks.

Thank you for reaching out to me! I intend to respond to all requests within a week. If no response is given in that time, please send a follow up message by an alternate method (ie, if you sent me an email, please send me a twitter DM as follow up). I do not open email attachments. Please include all relevant information in the body of your email.
