Did you know there are indie/small presses releasing SFF? Did you know that YA does spec fic as well? If you think the current slate of SFF is boring, my friends you need to read more widely. It's kicking off over here.

I don’t know about “long past,” though — how many indie bookstores do you know that don’t sell romance/ only got a romance section when Bridgerton hit Netflix and BookTok went bananas?

Hi! I'm Elise, indie author of epic YA Fantasy kind of like dark Narnia and queer. Portals, platonic friendships, wars, sorcerers, round the world quests & 'villains' who mirror heroes (but with life circumstance tweaks).
I'd love to connect with more SFF folks, Aussie & Indie authors!
