Header at top, reading: EAT THE RICH Text, in center: "I'd love to read stories that subvert tropes or explore dualities or blend genres. The theme is so broad that writers can play around with tone in surprising ways. Feel free to go straight up classic, or if wild, wacky, heartwarming or raw is your thing, I'd love to read it. Give me metaphors, analogies or allegories." Bottom, text: Melissa Ren, First Reader

Header at top, reading: EAT THE RICH Text, in center: I have an affinity for cannibal stories. Beyond that, I’m a fan of terrible decisions to make, poetic justice, and all kinds of irony. Give me that “oh no, they wouldn’t” feeling. I’m equally delighted by decadent cuisine and gruesome scenes. I love short and visceral (pun intended) but if you can keep making it worse I’ll tag along as long as you can keep it up. Give me a billionaire devoured by natural consequence or for revenge. If they learn any sort of lesson, I prefer they learn it too late. Bottom: Ria Hill, First Reader
