Trinica’s In all projects, I am prioritizing #OwnVoices. I am eagerly seeking stories by authors who have historically been marginalized. I would especially love more projects by authors of color, trans and nonbinary authors, authors with disabilities, and neurodiverse authors. Speculative fiction (especially horror, cozy-to-high fantasy, and anything that blends genres) Romance and romcoms with a speculative twist (especially featuring #OwnVoices queer relationships) I love the dynamic of someone who feels monstrous (literally or metaphorically)/unlovable and the person who’s devoted to them anyway! Horror-romance/romantic horror. When it comes to horror, I prefer an elevated take that has something to say about the world. NA campus stories (especially dark academia) Caribbean (especially Trinidad & Tobago) characters/settings (#OwnVoices only, please!) Reality TV premises with a strong hook Unreliable narrators Stories that support women’s wrongs Found family Messy, doomed, heartbreakingly passionate tragic romances featuring people who make each other worse (aka lovers to enemies with the intensity of Louis/Lestat/Armand in AMC’s Interview with the Vampire) Anything that reads like fanfiction! Hyper-Specific Cannibalism romance! Love as consumption, however you interpret that! I’m picky about contemporary romance, but I would really love a queer cowhand romance! Queer F1 romance! I’m also interested in something that has the feel of F1 but incorporates a speculative element QT/POC take on LitRPG Sapphic Phantom of the Opera A/B/O dynamics Anti- Picture books Chapter books/early readers Law enforcement protagonists and military books Animal protagonists Mental illness/disability used as a shock/horror factor There are very few instances in which I’ll be excited to read POC POV characters written by authors who don’t share that identity.
Fun facts about me
I play online Survivor (like the CBS show!) and live reality games... and I’ve won three times! I’m in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign that is going on seven years (I’m partial to druids). My name comes from Trinidad and California, where each of my parents was born. I’ve cooked my way through two cookbooks and am always looking for new recipes to try!
