Lilly Lu✨pre-order DEATH WISH (prh 2027)!!!

@michellejingchan.bsky.social & i organized a panel of ace creatives to talk about asexuality & publishing! thanks to @redgoldsparks.bsky.social @schwartzwords.bsky.social and @witchm.bsky.social for sharing your words with us, & @amandasbrews.bsky.social for giving this piece a home💜🏳️‍🌈

AGENTS!!! Nika is my wonderful mentee and EDGE OF CHAOS is a steamy academia romcom 🥹 it’s a love letter to fanfic and community. Check it out!

LOVE, THEORETICALLY x SET IT UP = EDGE OF CHAOS #RoundTableMentor #Un #R #Con #A #🏳️‍🌈

Star-crossed academics Selene and Eoghan scheme to set up their warring bosses and prevent department fracture, but authoring three romances—their bosses’, their fanfic, and their own—catalyzes chaos, threatening both their shots at tenure. 🎨: @raphaerolo.bsky.social #RoundTableMentor #Un #R #A

Did you know that, in addition to being a fantasy author, I am a lit prof who’s written about K-pop? This fantastic volume edited by @uncannydazzler.bsky.social is now out with @bloomsburyacademic.bsky.social 🥳🥳

My second edited K-pop collection, The Cultural Politics of Transmedia Storytelling in K-Pop, officially came out yesterday from @bloomsburyacademic.bsky.social. I am a day late to my own publication announcement, but very happy to finally have this one in the world. A thread! #CriticalKPop

Chapter 9 (@lillyluwrites.bsky.social): TXT’s storyworld keeps circling back to five people, closed loops, repeated images, and intimacy. Lu finds queer possibility in that enclosure, while also asking when a closed story starts to look too much like closed working conditions. #TXT #CriticalKPop

As we’re entering a new season of pitch events, we want to remind querying authors of some schmagent red flags. This is your sign to reach out if you need help vetting your agent list!! cre: @lillyluwrites.bsky.social @solarhoang.bsky.social 🧵1/2

Happy international asexuality day!!! 🫶

I wrote about getting your first chapter query-ready! Now on the @roundtablementor.bsky.social substack! 💗 #writingcommunity #amquerying open.substack.com/pub/roundtab...

So stoked to be working with Nika Clarke and Priyanka Watson on their beautiful romance books!!! #writingcommunity

THE NEWS IS OUT! My supernatural sapphic romance is getting published by @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social 💫💗🧛‍♀️ This one’s for the gaysians, diaspora daughters, Los Angeles, found family, folks fighting against societal “should”s, folks who think “hey, we deserve better.” #WritingCommunity

guys there’s a scene in my book where i talk about six and seven (re: tarot cards) and last night i went NOOOOOOOO and changed it 🤦🏻‍♀️

So very much this. I remember cringing before a Board member when I was staff for an esteemed writers conference when she insisted, without malice - just ignorance, that writers should be willing to pay the (too high for me) fees because we all "need to invest in our work." #WritingCommunity

I wrote about how wealth isn’t just “more time to write,” but resource-having in a way most of us can’t even imagine lillyluwrites.substack.com/p/wealth-acc...

roundtablementor hopefuls, pls check your emails for full requests! we are so keen to read your beautiful books!

this is why, as a literature teacher, i mask. My livelihood depends on it and my students’ wellbeing too 😭

4 books on sub…so much heartache, but finally…..!!! #writingcommunity

my @roundtablementor.bsky.social 2025 mentee @taylorkowens.bsky.social sent me a thank-you gift 🥹 so lucky to have had such wonderful mentees turn into such wonderful friends in this wild wild industry. really lucky to be part of your journey, honored to be in each other’s lives 💗 #writingcommunity

Excited to share that *Critical Approaches to Transmedia Storytelling in K-Pop* is now available for pre-order from @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social! This collection brings together an international group of scholars explores how K-pop reimagines narrative across media. www.bloomsbury.com/us/critical-...

excited to be returning as a mentor this year for fantasy & romance! MSWL to come 👀 #amquerying authors, watch this space! In a world where a lot of industry knowledge has been lost to the vicissitudes of twt, mentorships like this are invaluable! (They’re how I got agented & found friends!)

Scholars of eighteenth-century topics: consider submitting your work to *Digital Defoe*. We publish essays on Defoe, but also on his "contemporaries," which we're inclined to interpret broadly. More info here: call-for-papers.sas.upenn.edu/cfp/2025/10/...

Now for BlueSky! After being selected as a Round Table Mentor finalist, and 7 long months of revisions, I'm back! And I’m proud to announce this author is back in the query trenches! To kick it off, I’m reposting a revised version of my pitch deck. 🥳🥂 #writer #querying #horror #romance
