Hello! I'm Victoria, and I'm new. Only not really, because I've been lurking here since time immemorial, I just decided to start actually-posting.

I write speculative fic, mostly fantasy, both YA and Adult. I was a 2017 Pitch Wars mentee in YA, and I'm represented by Holly Root & Taylor Haggerty at Root Literary.

In my 'real life' I'm a Ph.D. student in psychology, where I study empathy, morality, and people who have neither (psychopaths).

Thrilled to meet all y'all for real!

Welcome Awer Victoria,

You look new to me. If a person lacks the sense of responsibility would you term them psychopaths or sociopaths or politicians?

:welcome:, Vic. I hope you find empathy and morality very soon. It will help in your work as a doctor of psychology. :greenie

:ty: for changing from a lurker to a worker. AW needs fresh writers.

Did I wish you :welcome:? I forgot. I wonder what psychologists call that?
