Put Yourself First.
Our Mission
From the beginning, our mission at Steamy Lit has been to provide women romance authors of color and non-binary/genderqueer authors a platform to amplify their voices through their work while also empowering discourse around sexuality. Our ultimate goal is for you to embrace your sexuality and celebrate self-love.
Steamy Lit is not only passionate about making a positive impact on your personal life but also on the world. A portion of proceeds from each box will go to an organization that supports causes we feel passionate about.
About Steamy Lit
CEO & Founder
My name is Mel Saavedra and I am the founder of Steamy Lit. I am a proud Latina, Navy Veteran, and dog mom. I'm also an avid reader of steamy romance. The more a book makes me clench my thighs, the better.
My love for reading romance novels intensified during 2020.. As I continued to pick up title after title, I quickly noticed the lack of representation romance authors of color received in publishing. By having constant conversations in the book community, I knew it was common for women to feel uncomfortable discussing their sexuality or even speaking about steamy scenes in books. Thus, the spark of an idea for Steamy Lit was set aflame.
At Steamy Lit, I want to empower discourse around sexuality and self-love while also providing a new way for authors to have their work showcased.
The steamier the book, the better.
