A little something for the readers who have been with me from the beginning https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8pprjgo/

Hi Mikaela,
          I’m from Guidepoint (www.guidepoint.com), a leading expert network connecting industry professionals with clients seeking expert insights.
          
          We’re currently speaking with part-time fiction writers based in New York or Los Angeles who actively publish on platforms such as Reddit and Wattpad, across genres including romance, sci-fi, mystery, fantasy, history, and related categories.
          
          We’re supporting a project focused on understanding writers’ creative processes, audience engagement, and perspectives on adapting written stories into video-based formats.
          
          We’re inviting selected authors for a paid 30–60 minute consultation, and you would be compensated for your time.
          Please DM if interested!

Didn’t mean to drop into your board like this, but your TBR just got criminally better. “For a Mobster” should be your next obsession. A dark romance tangled in enemies-to-lovers chaos, hidden identity, forbidden desire, and obsession looking pretty much like protection. Renzo’s the ruthless guy who swore off softness; Alessandra’s the proclaimed good girl who lied her way into his bloodstream. You think opposites attract? Well, this piece shows that opposites ignite. He kills for her, she hurts for him. They’re both doomed… and it’s delicious.
