About Me

I’m in my thirties and am a stay-at-home mom to two young boys. I’m about 40,000 words into the first draft of my first novel that I committed myself to writing and, dang it, I’m gonna see it through.

I’m a very new writer, so my ability to critique effectively is likely limited, but I swear I’ll do my best.

Love to Read

Anything fantasy, really, but I prefer character-driven stories in worlds that are interesting but not overly complicated. (I want to enjoy the book without taking notes.)

Some books I love:

The Mercy Thompson series and related books.

The Bear and the Nightingale trilogy.

I enjoy Sarah J Maas’s books – even though they make me cringe at times.

I also enjoyed The Night Circus and An Enchantment of Ravens because I’m a sucker for the pretty writing, but the plots fell flat for me.

I’m reading the Smoke and Bone series right now.

Female protagonists are a favorite. I’m fine with romance, love triangles, whatever, but I don’t like it when a guy is creepy/abusive to a girl and she thinks he is fabulous.

 

Hard No's

Excessive gore; pointless violence

Contact this CP
I'm not accepting emails right now. Please don't contact me.
Before you reach out...

Here are some best practices for reaching out to a potential CP:

  • Include the link to your own CP Match profile! You can find it on your Dashboard. Don't have one yet? What are you waiting for? Anyone with a WriteOnCon.org account can make one!
  • Introduce yourself a little, and say what appealed to you about their listing.
  • Respect what's listed here in their profile. They took the time to fill it out, and they've included this information for a reason. Don't send a message about a book they specifically say is a Hard No, for example.
  • Offer to swap a small sample of your works, so you can see if you're really compatible. First chapters are a good starting place.
  • If one party no longer wants to continue the interaction, it's nobody's fault. Sometimes finding the right CP takes time.

Happy writing and CPing!
