I'm excited to be mentoring for the Wattpad community this year! Inside is information on which stories I prefer to read and how I can help polish up your Wattys submission!
This is my first year as a Bootcamp Mentor, and I am looking forward to meeting my future mentee!
Cutting to the chase, I'm looking for a story with a whole lot of romance, either new adult or adult. It needs to be written with a fierce passion and tell a good story using any romance trope, cliche or not!
Below is an outline of which sub-genres I prefer.

Hello Garrett Graham!
I'm a sucker for hockey romance--or any sport for that matter. If you have a story that revolves around an athlete and love interest, then send it my way! These characters can be paired with any trope: enemies to lovers, rivalries to lovers, friends to lovers--anything.
As for the spice level, I'm comfortable with all levels, so long as it's consensual.

Look, I know some of these characters are from YA Series, but if you have characters like Casteel, Cassian, Reid, or Warner, I would love to be your mentor. I read a variety of fantasy novels, so I'm fine with vampires, werewolves, witches, fae, or mermaids (or whatever else you can think of!). Throw in some dystopian, too!
There's nothing better than going on an adventure and watching a slow-burn romance occur between two main characters.

Is anyone else in love with the move "A Simple Favour?"
Has a murder most foul been committed in your story? Are two characters working together to solve it while unexpectedly-but-expectedly falling in love?
Then send it my way!

Inclusivity and diversity are the two most important factors when using a platform to promote writing. Being a mentor is no different. I want you all to know my profile is a safe place for all gender identities, expressions, and sexual orientations. Love is love, and as Taylor Swift says, "you can want who you want//Boys and boys and girls and girls."

My Terms and Conditions
* These cannot be negotiated *
- I will not choose stories over 100,000 words
- CANNOT include romanticization of trauma, sexual abuse, rape, toxic relationships.
- The story I choose MUST follow my wish list. There are lots of amazing authors who have joined to be mentors this year; if your story does not relate to my wish list, then I suggest looking at what the other mentors want!
- CANNOT include discrimination against BIPOC or LGBTQ+ groups. If it does, I will not choose your story, AND I will block you.
