Hello, I’m liselle
A young adult fantasy and sci-fi writer
my writing brand is…
Worlds beyond ours
Always involving some sort of magic or alien or something similar, I get bored of real life
Messy black girls
They a real big mess, but they’re finding their way, and I kind of think that journey is fun
Authenticity
The voices I write are ones I truly think connect to issues teens face in an real way

the part where i help
Only slightly rambling but helpful videos for writers
If you’re a writer who has no idea how to get published, low key dying in the query trenches, or high key just really f***ing confused, these videos are for you. I post an IGTV (that’s Instagram btw) video every Tuesday with helpful stuff.
