Romance for the Hearts that Want More

Violet Fitch writes contemporary romance for dreamers.

She believes that no matter what your story has been so far, it’s never too late to fight for a life that makes your heart sing and experience love in the ways you deserve to be loved. She is a late diagnosed autistic woman passionate about representations of grief, mental and physical health, and complicated family dynamics. She hopes to make you laugh out loud, giggle and blush, and swoon and cry: sometimes all on the same page. Most of all, she wants to everyone to believe Happily Ever After’s can be found even in the darkest of tunnels.

Violet is a classically trained actress who always found herself writing plays, poetry, and stories from the moment she learned to put pen to paper, and filled elective slots and free time with creative writing classes between performing Shakespeare. She’s been a featured writer in literary magazines and worked for years as a professional commercial actress and sketch comedy writer in Hollywood, including a stint as a house performer and writer at Second City. After her first endometriosis surgery caused permanent nerve damage that prevented her from walking for nearly a year, she turned a short screenplay into her first complete novel and never looked back.

Her favorite tropes are progressive small town romance, all things autumnal nostalgia, and second chances. Bonus points for Grumpy x Black Cat. She has a soft spot for historic architecture and stories that send her down research rabbit holes to discover things she never knew about the world and the people who have lived in it. She is profoundly against the use of generative AI at any stage of the creative process.

She brings a certain shelves her smut next to Ishiguro and Vonnegut vibe to the function, and her favorite quote is from Emily Dickinson’s love letters to Susan Gilbert: “But my heart wants more.”
