My Manuscript Wish List®

Writers:

I am prioritizing Latino/Hispanic, LGBT+, Asian American, and African American writers. However, any writer can submit. I am open to read anything, if it is compelling, you will hear from me.

Genre preferences:

Literary fiction set in a historical or contemporary setting. If it includes magical realism that would be even better.
Speculative fiction: romance, historical fiction, thriller, mystery, LitRPG, epic/high fantasy, and dystopian.
Nonfiction: history, pop culture, lifestyle, well-being, and spirituality. If it is focused on Asia or Latin America, even better.

Fun facts about me:

I’m a Latino man.
I’m a gamer.
I’m gay.
I’m obsessed with Thai BL series.
I’m multilingual.
