I read every message that comes in here. If you’re a reader with a recommendation, an author looking for a review, a publicist with a new release, or just someone who wants to talk about romantasy — send me a note. I aim to respond within 48 hours.

What to Include
If you’re submitting a book for review, include the title, author, publication date, and a one-line note on why you think it’s a fit for Vellichor’s audience. I cover romantasy — fantasy romance where the magic and the love story are genuinely inseparable. If your book fits that, I want to hear about it.
If you’re a writer interested in contributing, the Write For Us page has everything you need. If you’re a publisher or publicist, the Press and Media Kit covers what we offer and how we work.
For everything else — questions about membership, technical issues, or just a recommendation you think I need to read — the email above works for all of it.

Common Enquiries
Review copies and book submissions. I cover romantasy — fantasy romance where the magic and the love story are genuinely inseparable. If your book fits that, I want to hear about it. Include the title, author, publication date, and a one-line note on why it’s a fit for Vellichor’s audience. I don’t cover every book I’m sent, but I read every pitch.
Writing for Vellichor. If you want to contribute an essay, review, or piece of short fiction, the Write For Us page has the full submission guidelines. Use the form there rather than emailing directly — it keeps things organised on my end.
Press and media. If you’re a journalist, podcaster, or content creator looking to cover Vellichor or collaborate on something, the Press and Media Kit has the details. It covers our audience, what we publish, and what collaboration looks like.
Membership questions. If you’re having trouble with your subscription, can’t access member content, or want to change your plan, email the address above and I’ll sort it out. The Join the Realm page has details on what each membership tier includes.
Everything else. Recommendations you think I need to read, corrections to something I got wrong, general thoughts about the genre — all welcome. I genuinely enjoy these conversations.
One thing I have learned from running Vellichor: the best conversations start with specificity. The more clearly you can tell me what you are looking for — a particular subgenre, a specific trope, a book that does something you have not seen done well before — the more useful I can be. Vague enquiries get vague responses. Specific ones get real ones.
