The cover for my debut SF sapphic romantic thriller is now out in the world! Credit for the gorgeous artwork goes to Artem Chebokha!

catching up on some articles that went live while I was away! Loved interviewing Lucy Rose (THE LAMB) Charlotte Paradise (OVERSPILL) & Trang Thanh Tran (THEY BLOOM AT NIGHT) for @thebookseller on our recent love affair with horror... www.thebookseller.com/comment/good...

alternative title for my surprise delivery this morning: in my rep'd era 🐍🖤✨

✨NEWS✨ I'm SO excited to announce that I'm now represented by Maria Whelan of Inkwell Management!! I was beyond blown away by Maria's vision for my weird, gothic ode to libraries, ill-fated love, disability & sapphic women & I can't wait to see what this next chapter holds 📚🥀

so excited for this!!! 😍😍😍

me to my inbox rn 😭👀🩷

it's been a long time coming but...✨vague publishing post ✨👀 #querying

my birthday may have been yesterday but today...is a good day 🥰👁️

Hey so the Gaiman article is really graphic and disturbing. The [CW:SA] goes without saying but it's not for vague mentions; specific assaults are described in detail. And it's okay not to read it. Reporting on this is vital but that doesn't mean you specifically need to bear witness in this way.

necessary sunday purchases all around.

and if I said the wip draft that I'm about to finish has Nosferatu vibes...what then...

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users? Please share far & wide! Interest form: forms.office.com/e/66FhcQjqRT More info: www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/new...

some 2024 highlight 📸 inc starting my next book, writing about some of my fave things for dream publications, going to fancy journo work parties in Soho (way out of my comfort zone!), writing clubs & planting some interesting seeds for 2025 👁️🌱 here's to creating and writing more stories next year 🥂

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed. (Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

Of course I want to be invited. No, I do not want to go. Yes, I would like my absence to be remarked upon. No, I do not want to feel pressured that I SHOULD have attended. I just want that perfect balance of being included and valued without having to actually leave my house. 🥰 my dog lives here.

Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.

finally back to drafting #MacbethWIP and I'm buzzing 🖤🧜‍♀️🪄 #WritingCommunity

So looking forward to this book coming out in the UK. So necessary.

More queer horror more queer horror more queer horror [chanting continues]

For Esquire, I wrote about The Eras Tour Book and what Taylor Swift's self-published, Target-exclusive project could mean for the future of book publishing. www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

I cannot believe I finally get to announce this. An unhinged dream, so many years and monologues in the making. I'm elate to announce my debut novel VILE LADY VILLAINS, a horromantasy about Klytemnestra and Lady Macbeth, will be published with Penguin Michael Joseph in 2026.

Something to pin!

is there a chronic illness and/or disabled writer starter pack around here? Should I make one? 🥺📚💙

ICYMI: I wrote about why feminist media (even when it breaks me) is so important to me, and why I cofounded @theflytrapmedia.bsky.social to bring feminist cultural criticism with a bite back to the internet.

If you’re interested in fighting book bans, this is a great starter pack to follow! go.bsky.app/L59xSVt

sooo LibraryBook core (my #amquerying sapphic romantasy book w/ ♿ rep) 📚💙

Long before the modern disabled people’s movement, people with impairments were claiming disability as a social and political identity. @profdavidturner.bsky.social investigates the development of disabled people’s activism in Victorian Britain.

Since moving here from the hellscape that is X, my feed is somehow now full of posts about how awesome libraries are and I am HERE FOR IT! Support your local libraries, they provide a warm space safe for everyone and the free gift of knowledge!

The reason I'm so positive about aspiring writers is that I believe that: * Anyone who can string a sentence together can write a story, script or book. * Anyone who puts enough time, effort, and workshopping into it can write a GOOD story, script, or book. * Anything finished can be fixed.
