Writing fiction that affirms diverse identities through lived experience.
Hi! I’m Stella Winslow, writer of sci-fantasy romance centring neurodiverse, anxious characters in otherworldly plots. I write queer-normative fiction, representing different sexualities and identities in an accepting and loving light.
On the side of penning my debut series, The Fates, I post writer’s craft and lifestyle content regularly on Substack and semi-frequently on Instagram.
When not hyper-focused and typing away, I can be easily found drinking copious amounts of tea, collecting stickers and art prints, decorating my home, reading an array of genres, and spending time with loved ones.
About Me
Fun Fact!
I love autumn & I’m a Scorpio
Some manuscripts in various stages of revision
People ask me when I began writing, often assuming that it was recently. Instead, I say that I’ve spent more time with words than much else.
I was 11 when I wrote my first 121-page manuscript. I typed it out on my iPod Touch using the Notes app. Then, 13 when I revised it. At 16, I self-published a 300-pager that ran for a limited batch.
My Story
The Fates est. July 2024
The Fates is the first series (~3-4 books) in a new world, ready to be explored. A duology will follow, featuring side characters, then a spin-off series of ~5 books. As you can imagine, this is a lot to plan!
For a brief synopsis, The Fates follows a pair of fated mates, planning to leave Earth, which means leaving the lives they’ve created as aliens. Expect:
Action-packed space travel
Time travel
Intricate planets
A complex 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
