Stella Winslow

I write romantasy with time travel, alienoid superpowers, government coups, and sizzling spice. Through writing fiction, I aim to affirm diverse identities through my own BIPOC, queer, neurodivergent, and chronically ill lived experience.

I do not use AI to ‘assist’ in writing. I believe that being human is enough to fuel my creativity.

People often ask me when I began writing so seriously. “Always” is my answer.

I was that kid with the journal, penning songs and dreaming up characters. Reading caught my eye young, through parents who are both teachers, and so, I’ve spent more time with words than much else.

I was 11 when I wrote my first 121-page manuscript. I tapped it out on my iPod Touch. Then, 13 when I revised it. At 16, I self-published a 300-pager that ran for a limited batch. I even had a sold-out book launch.

Skip forward a few years, and another story has captivated me. I have a timeline with this project, and any updates will be posted via Substack or Instagram.

My Story

Expect:

  • Action-packed space travel

  • Intricate world-building and magic systems

  • An original language system

  • Steamy, green-flag romance

  • Strong female characters

  • Found family

  • Secret societies…shh!

  • Diverse representation with plenty neurodivergent, non-binary, bisexual/pansexual, sapphic, BIPOC, and disabled characters
