Hello,

I'm an adult fiction author—fantasy and contemporary fantasy—and my debut fantasy releases May 28, 2024.

I initially got the idea for SOUL-BOUND in early April 2017, wanting to explore how a winged character would navigate their world without flight. But I didn't truly start writing it until January 2019 and now I'm finally pursuing publishing it!

Here's the gorgeous cover! Illustrated by the wonderful @oxiente, who has drawn Mika and Roshan a lot for me over the past few years. I'm really grateful that she took on this project. She delivered beyond my expectations! There are so many cute details! 🥺

PITCH

When a tsundere princess with healing magic loses her flight during her quest to heal corrupted crystal roots, she must depend on a charming vagabond's aid to help her before their avian world collapses to corruption.

SUMMARY

Avem, a continent inhabited by bird-like humans called Avians, consists of seven territories, each of which contains a crystal root: a treelike sanctuary preserving magic. Avians cannot wield the land’s magic themselves.

Except, Mika, the princess of Passíer. However, her father forbids her to use it out of concern for her safety.

Due to the expanding corruption from Cantio; a fallen territory under Passíer’s jurisdiction because of its damaged root, Zayn the militant king of Nyx, suggests Scorching Cantio. To avoid such a catastrophic outcome, Mika flees from home, determined to heal Cantio’s root herself.

In Cantio, she meets Roshan, a vagabond playing double agent to protect what’s left of his uncorrupted homelands. Upon noticing her pink feathers, unique for her specific species, he cautions her to leave before she’s captured and used as coin. She snubs his warning and is nearly taken captive.

During his efforts to help her, Roshan is wounded. Mika heals him with her magic, unintentionally and unknowingly bonding them together.

When the quest costs Mika’s wing and grounds her, she accepts Roshan’s offer to escort her across Avem to heal the damaged roots before corruption destroys their world.

If you like birb characters, the ship dynamic from Anastasia and Tangled, books like Dance of Thieves and The Girl at Midnight, and prose like Naomi Novik and Margaret Rogerson, then stick around 🩷

#𝐑𝐄𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐄 ! — ABOUT ME.

ʚ back | wips masterlist | main menu | server

hello, hello, i’m rosie !

As a writer, I’m as hopelessly devoted to fantasy and horror as I am to romance. Most of my works explore themes of morality, feminism, and autonomy while sprinkling on as many gothic elements as I possibly can. I thrive in writing banter-filled, rivals-to-lovers dynamics, but am not incapable of indulging in a good, fluffy couple here and then — on top of giving the love interests claws and fangs, ahem.

while I’m considerably more frequent on twitter and discord, I intend to put more time into developing this blog in the future!

I’m actively seeking !

- writing mutuals ( add me to your tag list ) !

- future beta readers !

- support through the process ! :)

disclaimer ᖭི༏ᖫྀ

My blog is generally intended for adults / mature audiences, though not all aspects of this blog will contain 18+ content. My novel also deals with depictions of violence, and horror that could be otherwise uncomfortable for some viewers. Follow at your own discretion!

thank you so much for taking the time to read this! as always, my asks are open, similarly to my dms, should you have any questions!

with love ,

rosie !

Everyone is welcome to apply, but we're particularly interested in hearing from women and South Asian writers.

If you're interested, send a resume and samples of your work to our business email- [email protected]

When seeking commercial success with writing you need to be realistic. Just because something shouldn’t be the way it is doesn’t mean you can ignore that reality.

What I mean:

People do judge a book by it’s cover, unless you’re talented and have done your research it will negatively impact you not to pay a professional.

Marketing a book isn’t about how good your book is. It’s an entirely different skillset you’ll need to pick up whether you get indie published or traditionally published.

If you’re writing something niche you can’t expect the marketing advice of people writing and selling something with wide scale appeal to work for you. You’ll need to find a way to advertise directly to the communities that surround your niche.

Bigots read and buy books.

Publishing a book is fucking expensive but cutting corners is quickly noticeable.

Publishers don’t take as many risks as they should, they’re increasingly letting indie authors take risks and prove that certain types of story can make it. You might have to wait for someone else to prove your kind of story works in the indie space to get any traction in the trad space.

I doubt any of these really surprise anyone. But anytime something is unfair or wrong in publishing whether indie or trad I see a lot of writers say something like ‘well people shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover so I’m making my own anyway’ as if saying that somehow changes reality. Let’s be realistic but hopeful and defiant as we head into 2023. Like the pragmatic side character who’s with the hero till the bitter end.

(Also how else are we meant to judge your book in a sea of others, when there’s so many that picking one off the shelf or clicking on to see the blurb is a decision of itself??)

Tomb of Light Art Reveal!!!

Cloud, the Whispering Smoke

(Huge shoutout to @neon-psychopomp for this incredible artwork!!!)

A species even more mysterious than the colorful felisquam, not much is known about the whispering smoke. It communicates in songs and images rather than words. While someone having an Ursa Ornata as a companion is considered special (they don’t choose just anyone), only Shadows find themselves with a creature of smoke, and their faces can take many forms. Hettie has chosen to name Mara’s Cloud.

Learn about the other creatures of Eternity here!

ToL tag list: @outpost51 @writernopal @avrablake (please ask to be +/-)

Hello, Writblrs!

Hey, everyone! After lurking around writblr for a bit I'm going to give jumping in a try. If it looks like I don't know what I'm doing it's cuz I don't.

I'm Cam, and I write mostly fantasy, usually with some fluffy romance thrown in. Definitely lots of queer characters, though that's hardly a surprise on here. I get lots of inspiration from fairy tales and myths, especially stuff with the fae, witches, gods, and magical animals.

My favorite authors are Marissa Meyer, Jim Butcher, Robin McKinley, N.K. Jemisin, Heather Blake, and Anne Rice. If anyone has book recs I'd love to hear them! Especially queer fantasy with wlw and nonbinary characters in the main cast. I feel like my own taste is kind of going stale at the moment...

What else? I like to play video games, especially Hades, Pokémon, Slay the Spire, Inscryption, Hollow Knight, Dark Souls, and all the LoZ games. I'm finally finally finally learning how to play the Pokémon card game after all these years lol.

But enough about me, I want to hear from you guys! My dash is empty, so I need writers to follow! Especially if you write:

Sapphic or wlw fantasy, but any queer fantasy in general

Vampires (don't judge me pls)

Strong platonic relationships as well as romance

Deities as characters who interact with the human ones

Have cool creatures or lovable animal characters

Funny dialogue

Anything really--part of why I'm here is to improve and broaden my horizons!

I'm totally open to asks and tag games!

So I only really have one atm. It's called Girlfriend of the Gods. A silly title I know but it's a pretty silly story.

It's a Cinderella-type tale about a girl who doesn't fit in and accidentally gets the attention of the goddess of death and her brother the god of wind by making a wish. It's got a magical shapeshifting chameleon and an evil book. See? Silliness. I'll get around to making a proper introduction for it if anyone's interested.

That's pretty much it. I look forward to meeting people and making some friends to grow along with.

wriblr intro!!

hey, everyone!

pronouns are he/they. i'm a web dev by day and an aspiring writer & artist by night. a bit about my writing:

i write fantasy.

i love weird magic.

forest magic!!

faeries, elves, weird nature-inspired creatures/stuff, etc

heavy focus on the platonic aspect of relationships, even in romances, because, well, i'm aroace.

also here for siblings, friends, platonic relationships in general!

most of my characters are nonbinary and in the aro/ace spec, usually masculine-leaning.

i don't write ya or middle grade. all my stuff is adult.

i'm currently reevaluating my wips to see which ones i'd like to keep/work on moving forward, but these two are 100% staying:

#ANTISNOWWHITE

in a world that was once covered and ruled by a magical, bloodthirsty forest and its monstrous inhabitants, a young prince is exiled to its borders for mysterious reasons and raised by seven shadow wolves until, ten years later, he finally manages to escape. his goal now is simple: get his throne and kingdom back.

#FANTASY ROMANCE WIP

romance | fantasy | faeries | creepy forest | monster li

no blurb yet! but it's a story about rowan, a hunter, and loifa, the deity/faerie that protects his village. set in the same world as antisnowwhite, but with a completely different cast of characters.

my plan is to write a good chunk of fantasy romance wip during nanowrimo. it's my first time writing a romance so it will be interesting.

that's it, i guess! i'm always looking for more writers to follow, especially if we write the same genre!

Hello!

This is a new tumblr, but I've been on this hellsite for longer than I care to remember. My other blog is a fandom blog, so I thought I'd better make a different one for my original writing.

I'd love to get more involved in the writeblr community :) Here's a quick rundown of what I write and what I intend to post:

Fantasy fiction (and to a lesser extent, sci fi)

Contemporary fiction (I'm trying to make my fanfics into original stories and this would fall under that, so I'd like to post some snipets/drabbles experimenting with ideas for that!)

Thoughts on writing, my process, things I've learnt, etc.

I'm also (slowly, badly) teaching myself how to draw, so hopefully??? I'll post some OC art!

If you're part of the writeblr community, please come say hi! I'd love to make friends :D

🎭 THE GREAT GLAVENISEAN THEATER BETA CALL 🎭

It’s here! The time has come! With a complete and polished first draft, I am looking for betas to give reader feedback on TGGT. What I am looking for primarily are thoughts and reactions to the plot, characters, and relationship dynamics, and not line editing/grammatical work.

Before we go any further, here are the basics~

📕genre: speculative fiction in the vein of The Night Circus (fantasy elements in a historical setting) 📗audience: adult 📘wordcount: 94k 📙wip tags: #the great glavenisean theater #tggt excerpt (where you can view writing samples mostly from tag games) 📖summary:

When Morgan arrives in the infamous City of Spires with his twin sister, the last thing he expects is to be swept up in a glittering world of velvet curtains, beaming lights, and gleaming interdimensional portals in the belly of the stage of the Great Glavenisean Theater. Thank goodness for Zachary, who’s lived his entire life in the rigging and knows the ins and outs of the theater better than anyone—anyone, except maybe Ariel, the ethereal prima donna. But someone—or something—is creeping around the theater causing dissent, and the longer Morgan spends in the theater as their new seamster, the more he suspects that Ariel isn’t of the same plane as the rest of them—that maybe, they came out of the portal one night and have yet to go back.

If you want to see if my writing style is for you, you can read the first chapter of TGGT here, (thank you very much to @theskeletonprior for formatting this!). The version of this chapter in the beta draft has undergone some minor alterations, but it’s nearly identical. The gist of it is all the same.

Content warnings are available upon request, though I can safely assure you that there is little to nothing in TGGT that would be found outside a PG-13 movie. Gore and explicit sexual content is absent. It is friendly to teen readers, though this book is absolutely adult and not intentionally geared toward a YA audience.

If you’re interested, go ahead and fill out the google form here, and I’ll be in touch with you shortly!

ꕥ ꕥ ꕥ ꕥ

TGGT taglist 🎭 Ask to be added or removed!: @sentfromwolves @cabaretofwords @antique-symbolism @muddshadow @florraisons @flowerprose @bebewrites @hysteriwah @the-void-writes @carrotblr @tananaphone @mr-writes @monstrousfreedom @phantomnations @inkingfireplace @saphoblin @theskeletonprior @midnight-and-his-melodiverse @perasperaadastrawriting
