  • Monica

    EDITOR

    Monica’s lifelong love affair with words began at the tender age of 4. As a kid, she was that rare bookworm who found joy in reading the dictionary, even taking her books to recess. In the third grade, she accused her teacher of plagiarism when tasked with copying definitions from the dictionary, a testament to her unwavering belief in the power of language. Monica’s linguistic passion led her to choose Advanced Grammar as an elective, and she aced the AP English exam in high school.

    During the pandemic, Monica rediscovered her love for romance literature. She was drawn to romance for its ability to offer happiness to characters of diverse backgrounds, including queer individuals and those, like herself, dealing with depression. While she adores all things romance, Monica has a special place in her heart for over-the-top romantic comedies (a la Pippa Grant), paranormal romance, and happily-ever-afters featuring neurodiverse characters.

  • Melissa

    VIRTUAL ASSISTANT

    From a young age Melissa was immersed in the world of books, devouring fantasy novels with an astonishing appetite.

Reading almost solely romance started Melissa on a reflective self-discovery journey, helping her recognize the importance of celebrating diverse voices.

    Melissa’s mission is to help authors unlock the full potential of their romance narratives, ensuring that every story has that unique spark that elevates it above the rest. With a keen eye for plot development and character growth, as well as a love of a good trope, Melissa is ready to guide you in crafting emotionally charged, heartwarming happily-ever-after that resonate deeply with readers.
