Jonathan Villegas

[CLOSED TO SUBMISSIONS]

Writers:

I am open to anything at the moment. If you wrote something in literary fiction or speculative fiction, just send it.

• 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:

I prefer fiction written in an upmarket style: literary prose paired with a commercial plot.

• If it’s literary, it should be situated in a historical or contemporary setting. If it includes magical realism, even better.
• If it’s genre fiction, I would love to review romance, mystery, thriller, LitRPG, epic/high fantasy, and dystopian.
• For nonfiction, I welcome works on history, pop culture, lifestyle, well-being, and spirituality. If it is focused on Asia or Latin America, even better.

Don’t send me:

• Horror
• Historical fiction with no romance
• Space opera
• Political thrillers

Favorite TV series and books:

• Alice in Borderland (Japanese TV series)
• The Witcher (TV series and book saga)
• A Tale of Thousand Stars (Thai BL series)
• The Wheel of Time (TV series and book saga)
• Itaewon Class (Korean drama series)
• Alchemist of Souls (Korean drama series)
• Last Twilight (Thai BL series)
