Oh, so I see some authors use the excuse that that can’t afford art. Well, I’m here with a few suggestions that might help: 1. Save up every penny you can. This isn’t attainable for everyone, I know. 2. Look for artists just starting out with lower prices (plenty around!) 3. Look for YCH art! 1/3

Oh hai! 👋🏾 I’m LM or Elm, and I’m a trans author who writes sapphic romance & really queer zombie post-apocalypse. Right now I’m working on my sapphic romance. I played Bloom & Rage and it left me with a lot of unresolved feelings. So here we are. I also have an unhealthy amount of art for it as well

That’s not where I was going with this…. 😆 #writing #sapphicromance

I don’t think I’ll ever get used to my own parent hating me so much that she now hates the grand child who reminds her too much of me as well. So if you ever read my characters with broken families and mothers who hate them…that’s just me working through my own grief. #booksky #writing

Abso-fucken-lutely not. I have my narrators and they’re awesome. Jake wouldn’t be Jake without Nathaniel and Liv wouldn’t be Liv without Savy. There are nuances in those characters a machine will never be able to reflect because ai has no fucking soul or heart. & that’s what my books are all about.

“Her waist curved into generous hips, her thighs thick and steady, her belly plush under the fabric. She was plus-size, not Instagram curvy. These curves were full and real. Her thighs had brushed together her whole life. Her belly rose when she laughed and breathed.” #sapphicromance

Is it ai? No, it’s 3 years of writing, 1 year of revisions, 12 different ppl raging from dev editor to sensitivity readers to beta readers, my editor combing through it. And before then? 13 years of writing fanfics and creating art. Happy Release week To HOW WE SURVIVE. 🥳Created solely by humans.

This is the perfect time to grab book 1 of my NA contemporary fantasy romance trilogy for yourself or a friend ⚔️ (or read in KU!)

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Fuck ai. But also? People who don’t read diversely because they “can’t relate” to brown, Black or queer characters.

It only took 4 years and 9 revisions… But How We Survive is finally live. 😭🥰 It’s queer and diverse with an Asian trans MC and his merry band of misfits. www.amazon.com/How-We-Survi...

I just reread How We End by @lmjuniper.bsky.social, which is fantastic, btw, and I’m just floored by how the book seemed familiar and also quite new to me. I cannot wait to read the sequel. You all have to check it out.

I see it's the seasonal argument about why piracy to fuck over Amazon and publishers is okay while many authors live below the poverty line.

Art drop Sunday! @ranadela_x did such an amazing job with this. 🥰 THE WISHING WELL is a paranormal sapphic romance with a group of four best friends, a magical well, and a summer none of them can remember. And: - Trans woman FMC - Plus size FMC - Hurt/comfort but make it sexy #sapphicromance

Sapphic romance, anyone? I played Bloom & Rage and had feelings. And apparently needed to turn it into a book. #sapphicromance

Scrolling through Bluesky and i genuinely feel like I don’t understand half the lingo going on. 😆 Also feels like a cold place. Hm.

I keep reading readers love “morally gray” characters but my brain insists on “orally gay.” And honestly? Same. 👅

So, HOW WE SURVIVE has a release date. But more importantly? It has character art! 😭

Rating: 😭😭😭😭😭 Genre: Horror, LGBT, Drama Hours: 13 Format: Audiobook #booksky💙📚 #review #diversebooksky Thank you to @lmjuniper.bsky.social for this absolutely emotionally gutwrenching yet loving read. It altered my brain chemistry 🧵

@lmjuniper.bsky.social just reached page 48. "Run". Loving it so far!

Hi all! 👋🏾 I know im absolutely terrible at being here... I will try my best to be more active here, but I might talk more about my gaming obsessions than writing and books. Currently, I'm hyper fixating (hello ADHD my old friend) on Bloom & Rage. 🌀

This is Laertes! 🔹️Laertes is a ballet dancer 🔹️There is nothing very wrong with him that we should worry about. 🔹️DEFINITELY not cursed by the Fey. #ocsky | #arcaneocs | #ttrpg | #elfenjoyers

my favorite thing on #booktok is that when people say it’s a toxic place, they are usually just being called out for their problematic behavior

Just starting to get into D&D. Anyone have suggestions of Black-owned businesses that sell things like dice? #dungeonsanddragons #blackownedbusiness

You're so funny... Tales of Sunantar edition. #sapphicbooks #booksky

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Get. Your. Hogwarts. House. Out. Of. Your. Fucking. Bio. If a Hogwarts house is in someone's bio, I will assume they are unsafe for me & mine, that they support hate crimes & rapists, and not only that they wouldn't want to work with me but I wouldn't work with them. OP @bydonmartin.bsky.social

How's editing How We Survive going? Oh, good. So good. 😂

A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

After I shared the new character art for Revan and Velanas I was approached by a book box company for a possibility for Tales Of Sunantar to be considered. And I'm blown away? That's huge, I never imagined something like that happening. Ever. Anyway, have a close up of the character art by Shinyno.

It’s getting bad fast in the US. I’m relatively safe, so I’m donating 100% of the proceeds of my lesbian bundle directly to trans people trying to GTFO of the fascist US. 4 lesbian books for $6 All February long Only on itch itch.io/s/147091/bar...

When you announce that you don't read author's based off their ethnicity & identity, you tell on yourself. It's not a flex to be like I don't pay attention to identity or race of my authors. It's a weird thing to need to announce especially during a time when we are uplifting voices #booksky

Although I'm a novelist, I'm happiest to have co-authored a memoir with my late mother, Patricia Stephens Due: FREEDOM IN THE FAMILY: A MOTHER-DAUGHTER MEMOIR OF THE FIGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS. My mother, the first horror fan I knew, wore dark glasses after being teargassed during a march in 1960.

The commission for my sapphic romantasy just came in and it's so gorgeous. 😭🥹😍 Slapped the title on to reveal both commission and new title. This isn't the cover though. Art by Shinyno at IG. #booksky

There is an #audiobook sale on @librofm.bsky.social! Pick up some audiobooks and support your favorite local indie bookstore!

My favourite thing is posting "if you voted for Drump you're a fucking bigoted moron" posts and watch the trash take itself out. Like, I'm a brown trans guy. I write trans joy, smutty, and romantic sapphic omegaverse with penis wielding buff alpha ladies. Exactly what were you expecting from me? 😆

Today I only have the mental capacity for Mass Effect Legendary. Gonna go kiss me some girls and aliens. 😌

Sometimes, English words are inadequate to describe my feelings. And that's exactly how I'm feeling looking at the gorgeous commission for my sapphic romantasy that my artist just sent to me. 🥹🥰😍 It is SO gorgeous, I just keep staring at it. In Swedish, I'd say "jag är helt förälskad."

For absolutely no reason at all here’s a great indie book set in a post-apocalyptic world with a trans MC. @lmjuniper.bsky.social is also a gem you should be following. How We End by LM Juniper #booksky #indiebooksy

Some days, I'm so vanilla I eat spaghetti with butter and salt and call it seasoning. 😆 It's what I call my bland Swedish food day.
