A believer in the magic of words and the change they can create, Dakota
Shain Byrd's passion for writing bloomed when in the first grade he had
to write a story about a little yellow chick that had lost it's
mother--that little yellow chick ended up becoming a space knight and
rescued his mom from a world eating dragon. From then on it was down the
Rabbit Hole at full speed. A fierce lover of all things epic, stunning,
and awe-inspiring, Dakota has often said, "My favorite films and TV
shows are all space operas or scifi, my favorite novels are usually
grounded in magic, and I love for both to have some form of romance to
them, even if it's a side character's romance instead of the
protagonist's." In line with that mentality, Dakota loves diversity and
is totally LGBTQ* friendly--he's threatre student, a member of RWA and NTRWA, has written
for and interned with The Dallas Voice, is a graduated Fellow of the
Lambda Literary Writing Retreat for Emerging LGBT Voices, was mentored
by author Malinda Lo at the aforementioned retreat in the YA/Genre
workshop, is blessed to be working with Rebecca Yarros on his
manuscript, and is a card carrying member of #TeamFabulous! He's working
on placing his first novel, a YA urban fantasy about a young man who's
journey to become a mage is complicated by his best friend's
disappearance, accusations of treason, and whispers that he killed her
for her magic.

ReplyDeleteHi Andrea, I just wanted to let you know that I made a major mistake on the editing of this post. Its supposed to be a query critique. However, I can do a complete manuscript submission package in Dakota's place or you can change your bid for simply a query critique. Please let me know. Thanks!
