Francesca's Words
Want to escape into another world for a while? Let's escape together.
Francesca’s Words, by Francesca Astraea
I’m Francesca, and I’m here to give you a break from reality.
The stories I tell: whimsical • magical • bizarre
Inspired by my favourite things: folklore, history, death studies, this absolute stunner of a planet we’re living on… and the entire back catalogue of New Jersey rock band My Chemical Romance.
The stories you can escape into:
The spaces we can escape into:
A longer introduction…
Let’s play two truths and a lie:
My birth year starts with a one, which is why I suggest you sign up to my newsletter instead of following me on Instagram; I share a birthday with My Chemical Romance which is why I am committed to wearing black in heatwaves and I failed my Religious Studies A Level twice only to earn a first class honours degree in Religions, Philosophy and Ethics ten years later.
Kidding! That’s all true. (Is a D a fail? Do they even grade A Levels with letters nowadays? All of this to say, if you’re currently in school and you hate it, you’ll be fine.)
Want to make your manuscript even better than it already is?
I offer editorial consultancy work, because the one thing I love as much as reading a good manuscript is helping you write an excellent manuscript.
Which reminds me…
Francesca HQ is an absolutely no gen-AI household, because I don’t manage an absolute bastard of chronic illness and frequently-inconvenient neurodivergence to outsource my remaining braincells to a computer owned by a loser.
