CP for Adult Romantic Fantasy / Contemporary Romance
Saskia C.
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for critique partners who are writing romantic fantasy or contemporary romance with the goal of getting published traditionally.
About me:
I’m currently querying with my second manuscript, a dual-POV romantic fantasy (114k), and would love to connect with someone who is also at that stage or has been there before.
Although this manuscript is romantic fantasy, I have several other projects I’m working on, including a first draft of a contemporary romance. I also enjoy paranormal romance, and I’m generally open to other genres if there’s a strong romantic subplot.
What I’m looking for in a CP:
- Writers of the genres mentioned who are querying or have queried before
- Constructive feedback that is as honest as it is kind – my ideal CP wields her literary scalpel with empathy :)
- Someone to swap query packages with (query letter, synopsis, opening pages); if you’re currently not querying, I’m happy to critique or brainstorm chapters, outlines, ideas, etc. – just know that I won’t be able to read through a full manuscript right now
My manuscript’s hook (WIP):
Krea, a cursed empath, has seven days to uncover and assassinate her blackmailer, and hires Des, a self-exiled war general who doesn’t realize she bears the pain of every enemy he fights in her name.
In case this is helpful, here are some authors I’ve enjoyed: Sara Hashem, Ali Hazelwood, Jennifer L Armentrout, Olivia Atwater, Danielle L Jensen, Callie Hart, Carissa Broadbent, Brandon Sanderson, Sophie Kinsella, Holly Black, Leigh Bardugo, Sabaa Tahir, Nalini Singh
