Where are the space operas written by authors of color? I want one so bad.

I'm into this new Kevin Bacon show! It's silly in a very 2000s way, but I'm into it.

Diving into my inbox on the hunt for some magic.

One edit out the door. Another waiting in the wings.

I am so ready for this!

What is a good alternative to X Files? It's my favorite background show for working but I've seen it too many times now.

If you're repping a epic fantasy/secondary world fantasy with either zero romance or a B-plot romance, could you send it my way PLEASE? #mswl

I am behind. I need a week of zero meetings to just get myself together.

I know someone somewhere is 15 bullet points into their notes app on Kendrick’s use of the flag versus Beyoncé’s.

My current edit is not progressing as fast as it should. Some how my kitchen wall is getting all my precious attention.

Maroon 5 really never topped Songs About Jane. 10s across the board.

Nothing is better than the train going express when you live at the end of the line. 🙌🏾

Look at this BEAUTY!

The “habitual be” be wearing some of y'all out.

I’m pretending TikTok is still gone.

Is third person illegal? I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve read a sub that isn’t in first person.

So, what’s after romantasy?

Cold brew decaf is unholy.

I promise today isn’t the day to ask if I’ve read that submission. It’s not even the week to. Thank you for your patience.

God, sometimes I feel so bad for my authors. I really stay yapping in those comments.

Need to read submissions (yes, I know, break) but I’m finally watching Blossom. I know I’m going to be obsessed. Will it replace The Double as my fav of the year?

Next year, I’m hoping to find a SF project that could be described as retro futurism or hopepunk. I want space as optimistic adventure, not “this is our last hope.” #mswl

a little bird tells me that THE GENTLEMAN AND HIS VOWSMITH is on netgalley for 24 hours 👀👀 if you’re looking for some spooky gothic queer murder romance then this is your chance! www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

In the new year, send me folk horror. I crave the folk horror. #mswl

Well, Hymn to Virgil is my new Hozier obsession.

Having an auction in December should be illegal.

Considering getting into the Burnished City trilogy now that the third and final book is out in the world? Until the end of the year, NOTORIOUS SORCERER is only $2.99 digitally in the US. A great time to jump on into the magic and mayhem! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/davin...

YESSSS!!

2024 really decided to end on a low note. We’re losing Dramacool?????

How do we feel about flap copy that focuses on one POV when a book is multi-POV? Asking for a friend. 👀

Why does everything have an AI assistant? It's all so ridiculous.

How can I find a Brooklyn native fantasy author? Ideally from Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Flatbush.

I don’t need 22 episode seasons again but could we get at least 13? Damn. When did we get so stingy?

Every best of SFF list this year has been...interesting.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY BOOK IS OUT TODAY!!!!!!!!! THE LAST HOUR BETWEEN WORLDS releases today in the US (and Italy)!!! I have waited SO LONG to share this book with everyone and I'm so excited that it's finally out in the world!!!!!!!!!
