Cayélle Publishing
Simple, complicated, destined, powerful.
- Flow: Moderately paced stories with chapter-ending cliffhangers. *FOR TEENS ONLY*

- Proven category tropes including, but not limited to, destiny, “good look”, self-exploration, narcissist vs empath, rebounds, etc.
- Stories featuring heroines and the everyday, young men who court them.
- Romance or friendship must be the central plot. The couple/friends should be together on almost every page.
