I always worry about this. What if I just want to write about people covered in the sorts of scars no one else gets to see but their person they have to find for themselves with a side serve of redemption and smut? Can we do that?

🩸SHE IS A HAUNTING + THE HONEYS🐝 When 18-year-old podcaster Max infiltrates a tradwife cult in rural Utah to save her sister, she expects to fight barefoot farm girls with ring lights… Instead, she comes face-to-face with an ancient god that eats women. #roundtablementor #YA #H #UN

To save her sister, Destiny joins a luck-bending alien in a dangerous Vegas con. His borrowed human body is breaking, her heart is unraveling, and every win brings them closer to ruin. Now it’s love or family. Either choice could destroy them both. #roundtablementor #A #H #R #UN

SAILOR MOON x THE UNTAMED but sapphic x Indonesian mythology A hero has enough issues like yearning over her soulmate, having a pact with a queen of monsters, saving her cursed family from death, but that involves stealing the heart of her true love #roundtablementor #YA #F #UN

AMARI x MEGAMIND When a magical villain school recruits (aka kidnaps) 12y/o Carsen, she must win her freedom by becoming the best villain in her grade, or else the school will use Carsen’s strange magic to return her supervillain aunt to power. #MG #F #UN #roundtablementor

Being a good girl? Overrated. Hurting people—intriguing. But that’d risk Natalie’s rep at her elite boarding school and her desired spot at Yale. She’s got it all under control, until pretty new girl Aylin sees right through her mask. Now, to kiss or to kill her? #roundtablementor #YA #T #UN

Nisha J. Tuli’s NOT SAFE FOR WORK x SUITS ⚖️ law school rivals to lovers 🤌 forced proximity 💼 workplace romance ❤️‍🔥 slow burn 🌶️ banter as foreplay #roundtablementor #A#R #UN

BIANCA TORRE IS AFRIAD OF EVERYTHING X LAMAR GILES I spy with my little eye… a girl who needs cash fast, a missing town sweetheart, a hefty reward, a swamp monster, and a whole lotta honey #roundtablementor #YA #M #UN

As Death's reapers are murdered, a stranded, newly dead woman agrees to spy on their killers in exchange for passage to the afterlife. But as she gets to know the spirit army, she begins to wonder who the real enemy is and whose word she can trust. #roundtablementor #A #F

EYES THAT KISS IN THE CORNERS x I AM GOLDEN I don’t look like Mom or Dad or anyone in my family. I feel so different from them. In the mirror, all I see is me, but maybe that’s all I need to be. I LOOK LIKE ME is a lyrical celebration of self love and mixed-race heritage. #RoundTableMentor #PB #UN
