ARCANE x SHE-RA PRINCESSES of POWER Avi will do anything to protect her little sister: Slog through miles of dangerous swamp, sure. Burn the world down? Hell yes! Accidentally fall in love with the girl she’s hired to guard…shit. #amquerying #YA #F #lgbtq

Nothing but perfect avocados…I’m taking this as a good omen, the avocado sign

What’s better than books? Bacon flavored books! (Compliments of reading while eating lunch)

What is happening to me?? I’m writing in the present tense…first drafts are weird.

The poem I needed today By the wonderfully talented Hyejung Kook www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...

Rewatching CeCe Lyra’s latest webinar ‘starting it right’ because it’s that good (and I may have lost reception driving through Oklahoma the first time I listened). Plus, it’s #catapproved #learningwithcece #writingclass

It’s been more than 6 months and my brain still defaults to EST…fellow east coast transplants living in different time zones- how do I fix this?? (Short of moving back) #amlate #amwriting but missing all my workshops!

As an example of an amazing interview (especially for those fantasy writers out there), check out Bianca Marais interviewing @sarahhawley.bsky.social on the 12/5 show

Still a very good list for writing podcasts Wish The shit no one tells you about writing was on here but worth checking out the podcast- The books and Hooks segment is like a free high yield craft master class, and Bianca Marais is SO good at interviewing other authors from the writing lens

Some days I find I need to go outside and touch grass… But today I really just needed to touch some space rocks #spaceiscool #meteorites #amwritingscifi #scifi

A sad irony of how book bans disproportionately impact different areas off the country means that the children who are most likely to have their reading material censored are the ones most in need of literature as a window into a rich and complex world different from the one they live in

All books aren't made for all people. But they need to exist for people who choose to read them. Our choices are our choices.

Exciting for the viewing of #TheCaretaker tonight in Portland, Maine. Don't have tickets? You can watch it here: www.madebackeast.com/caretaker Proud of my kid! It wasn't always easy to live on Mt. Washington, but he did it!

Today is book fair day at the kids school…I am way too excited but also, how will I ever recover financially from this?? (It’s not hoarding if it’s books right?) #Iwantallthebooks #bookfair #thisismycandystore #amreading

Hi, all! Please help this wonderful bookstore raise money it desperately needs to keep running. If you donate $25 or more, send me a screenshot of your donate receipt and I'll take a peek at your query for you!

If you believe that: 1) Reading is critical to democracy. 2) Books help us understand complex issues. 3) Parents shouldn’t make decisions for other parents’ children. 4) Youth deserve to see themselves in books. Join the campaign to #UniteAgainstBookBans: uniteagainstbookbans.org/take-action/

My next book will be about how the future will look (My predictive text is maybe too vague…very dissapointing…)

I'm so freaking honored that 1k of you want to hear my chaotic thoughts about writing and publishing, so I'm doing a query critique giveaway as a way to say thanks! To enter like this post, share it, and comment the title of your book! 💜 I'll pick a winner randomly EOD November 21st.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

I haven't written anything in a couple of months as I was stuck between projects. Sat down and boom... a new character was waiting for me. She's fully formed and has things to say. The writing subconscious is a curious thing. #amwriting #writing

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies. #bydhttmwdi

Alright! Started working on a literary agent starter pack on here, for all my writer friends out there! Follow along and see what folks are looking for. go.bsky.app/EFopcRo

YaY! 🙌 @markhamillofficial.bsky.social is here!

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

What’s better than a fun romance with all the feels? One that takes place in your new city and doubles as a tour guide! #Illhavewhatheshaving by @adibkhorram.bsky.social -a great read (and now I finally know what to do with my glass recycling) #amreading #indiebookstores give the best recs!

Accountability & Snippets Thread #wip 🍃 THE RITUAL X EMILY WILDE 🌱 A naturist sent to study lands for conquest loses his path in strange woods where a woman hiding among the trees may be his only way out. 👄 the forest has a mouth 💔 careful who you fall for 🩸 he is her plaything, she is his…?

Alright, sharing what a first chapter should include for the #amquerying crowd. This is a bit longer & will be done 🧵style! #writingcommunity So...where do you start the story? You start in the place that offers the most dynamic scene to teach readers about the MC. - What critical... 1/24 💙📚

An agent’s guide to my #sapphic YA dark fantasy with horror elements, 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐃 𝐋𝐈𝐄, feat: 🫀 • Chronic illness rep 🧹 • Witches ⚓️ • A ghost ship 🍂 • Sleuthing lesbians 🌊 • Coastal town w/ sinister secrets #W #litagents

I hear we're making female rage book lists? Consider adding Saints of Storm and Sorrow. My Bisexual lead is chosen by the Goddess of Storms and Vengeance and this book is all about embracing the anger deep down inside of you and making it everyone's problem. So add Saints to your reading list!

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.

The joy of knowing a book that only the author, privileged old me, and a few beta readers got to read, will soon be out in the world is just…

Would you sit with me through the darkness and help to raise the sun? Spilling light into the corners of my being,bringing warmth to my soul. #poetry #writingcommunity #vss365 raise

Ok really this time I mean it LAST last final edit before diving back into the query trenches…or maybe I should change the spice level and age category afterall??? How do I stop this madness?? #amquerying #amediting forever and ever #amwriting

Black licorice is delicious, don’t hate me! (But maybe this is why those recaptcha things refuse to acknowledge my humanity?)

👀 desperately need this book to be out now!

There are so many of you joining right now that things may temporarily glitch! If you’re seeing “invalid handle”, this is probably one of those things — see this thread for more information.

That feeling when you love the first book so much you can’t see how the sequel will live up to expectations…and then Bam!

So sorry I'm late to #unhingedpit! My character interviews ran longer than expected (Mal wouldn't shut up about Eritan wine). Today, four of the biggest names in ALL MINDS DARK were asked the following question: If you were AMD's author, what would you write in? #A #SFF #W

Let’s support this auction for Trans Lifeline, #Romancelandia! This is how we fight fascism and love each other 💪💜 I’m going to thread some of my favorite items! #DidThisToday www.32auctions.com/ProtectTrans...

AITA? I (18m) left my heiress bride (16f) at the altar and accidentally joined a pirate crew—now I may be falling in love with the captain (23m), and I think I'm wanted for murder. Also, I'm fairly certain my dad hates me. So—am I the asshole?? tinyurl.com/cywyt86t #UnhingedPit #AG #YA #P #LGBTQ+

Listen, if the grim reaper shows up and asks you to cover them at work for three days...don't do it. Now I literally have to go rescue him from some god dude in a place I was pretty sure didn't exist or I'll be stuck as the new grim reaper forever. Not demure. Not mindful. #MG #F #AG #Unhingedpit

Alrighty, y'all...if you hate the 'zon but love new adult apocalyptic sci-fi, I'm pleased to let you know I have violated the T's & C's and set up a kofi, where you can grab my book for 99 cents off ;) ko-fi.com/s/4e26369e09
