Genres
At Tsunami Literary Ink, I represent clean, character-driven stories that uplift, challenge, and connect. I’m drawn to authors whose work blends emotional depth, creative imagination, and moral resonance—stories that engage both heart and mind and stay with readers long after the final page.
Romance- Clean and closed-door romance across historical and contemporary settings, including Regency and Victorian Romance, Contemporary Romance (sweet, small-town, or inspirational), Romantic Mystery or Suspense, and Historical Romance with heart and hope.
Middle Grade Fiction- Stories filled with wonder, courage, and imagination—contemporary, light fantasy, magical realism, or historical adventures that inspire empathy and possibility.
Young Adult- Clean YA with strong emotional arcs and hopeful themes, including Romantic Fantasy, coming-of-age stories, and time-slip or lightly speculative YA.
Historical Fiction- Novels rooted in truth and courage—especially those that illuminate overlooked moments in history, celebrate resilience, or draw meaningful parallels to today.
Science Fiction- Character-focused and conceptually rich speculative fiction. Stories that explore humanity through imaginative worlds—more hopepunk than dystopian, more heart than hardware.
Horror- Psychological, atmospheric, or gothic horror that leans on tension and emotion rather than gore. Stories where fear reveals truth about identity, morality, or the human condition.
Cookbooks & Lifestyle- Select, story-driven projects that celebrate creativity, connection, and community—especially those blending narrative voice with beautiful design or family-centered inspiration.
Currently Not Seeking- Erotica, extreme violence, or explicit sexual content.
