About The Sapphic Latina

A Sapphic Latina Writing Sapphic Latina MC’s

If I’m going to be honest… I’m on a mission. A mission to add to the lack of representation of sapphic Latina MC’s in fiction. To be frank, there is a lack of BIPOC authors, let alone those who are also queer. That’s a problem. But that’s a conversation for another day (~Substack).

I mainly write:

  • Sapphic/lesbian

  • Fiction

    • Romance

    • Science Fiction

    • Contemporary

  • Poetry

As of January 2025 — I am actively working on two WIPs (I have eight). All of which I intend to traditionally publish.

I’m on a journey to read 20+ (queer) books, post 1-8x a month on Substack, query Paola Unraveling, and finish writing Flirting with Astrology for the year of 2025.

    About The Journals of a Sapphic Latina

In this publication/newsletter, I will be posting my journal entries. This will essentially be a raw telling of my life via diary entries from different periods of my life. I will post journal entries from recent times as well periodically. But most of these entries will be YEARS old. This publication will also include personal essays.

Enjoy the journey. I hope these entries help someone feel heard, seen and less alone.

Trigger warnings:
Domestic abuse
Mental Health

All names have been changed to preserve the identities of individuals in my journal entries.

Take off your coat and stay awhile.

Started a Ko-Fi :)

I will sell my poetry book (signed copies) off of there and provide services such as alpha/beta reads, line editing, and developmental editing at an affordable price — To help me pay for graduate school and to let me pursue my love for writing and reading and helping writers!
