Sandia Starforgers is happening again, April 24-27, 2026! The intimate writing retreat/workshop will feature instruction by @charliejane.bsky.social @maryrobinettekowal.com @tangentgeoff.bsky.social at a historic farm in Albuquerque, NM. Scholarship available. Early bird $100 off: starforgers.com

Congratulations on your book, @katemckean.bsky.social, and I'm so excited we get to host you in conversation about it in August! Everyone, pick up your copy and register to attend the Q&A here: starforgers.com/kate

Thanks for the shout-out! @jeshonard.bsky.social and I send out a monthly-ish newsletter with info about upcoming books. Considering we're getting close to The Grigori Cycle Book 2, there will be FUN news soon: thegrigoribooks.com/learn-more/

This is one of my favorite parts of Sandia Starforgers: connecting writers with professionals who truly believe in them!

So glad you loved it!!! It was delightful having you return this year!

Yay!!! So glad you enjoyed the event! (She says 2 months later upon finally getting back on Bluesky)

Thank you so much, friend! It's a delight and honor to host this retreat!

The 2025 Sandia Starforgers Writers Retreat and Workshop is off to a fun start! We've had wonderful classes on worldbuilding by @maryrobinettekowal.com and @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social thus far.

Had a great first day for Sandia Starforgers. Wonderful to meet old friends and new. Fun talk from @maryrobinettekowal.com on Fashion and Worldbuilding. Looking forward to today's sessions. @marieparks.bsky.social #writingretreat #sandiastarforgers

So delighted to have you joining us as an instructor again this year!

So delighted to have you joining us as an instructor again this year!

Come hang out with us at @booksonthebosque.bsky.social this evening! @maryrobinettekowal.com's events are so fun. 6 PM on 5/1 in Albuquerque.

Congratulations, @marieparks.bsky.social! Well deserved!

@nirele.bsky.social is a wildly talented writer AND writing teacher. Take this class. (It's free with a trial membership of @maryrobinettekowal.com 's Patreon at the Classes tier.)

I'm so honored to be a recipient of a 2025 New Mexico Writers Annual Grant! It will provide some relief from my 60-hour workweeks for one month this summer so I can make meaningful progress on my next novel. I'm over the moon and grateful to everyone who makes this grant possible. nmwriters.org

April 3 is officially We Need Diverse Books Day!! The nonprofit org We Need Diverse Books works to promote books which reflect our world–and on their 10th anniversary, they're sharing resources on how to do the same. Check out their recommendations! reactormag.com/celebrate-in...

This was a lot of fun. @jessihonard.bsky.social and I talked with @benjamingorman.bsky.social about #Animorphs, our debut novel, our cowriting process, self-care and actions to take in the face of fascism, playing music, and more!

My dad's over here showing off! Look at all his gorgeous paintings. <3

I will be there! Come with me?

A few years ago, husband and I somehow ended up arranging all our combined fiction, and most of the narrative non-fiction, alphabetically by author, with no nod to genre. This has led to some funny shelves, like this one: @jessihonard.bsky.social and @marieparks.bsky.social in good company

You, too, can wear floppy hats on the beach while you make writer BFFs4eva and hone your WIP. Come hang out with us on the @writingexcuses.bsky.social cruise this September. @dongwon.bsky.social and @maryrobinettekowal.com are our instructors! writingexcuses.com/retreats/

MY TINY DOGS HIKED UP CATHEDRAL ROCK IN SEDONA, AZ THIS WEEKEND! (Oh, and @jessihonard.bsky.social and I did, too.) If you aren't familiar with this hike, it's considered a scamble, so there was lots of dog-boosting. I also needed a human boost at one point. Route: Baldwin -> Templeton -> Cathedral.

Back to it! Today @marieparks.bsky.social and I started the final phase of edits on Undeniable before sending our book to @notapipe.bsky.social: Reading it out loud to one another. I feel like a lot of authors skip this step, but it really makes a difference in finding awkwardness on the page.

The UNRELENTING audiobook narrated by @maryrobinettekowal.com is now available in *nearly* all the places! Please enjoy @jessihonard.bsky.social's and my fantasy thriller debut, published by @notapipe.bsky.social. Special thanks to our wonderful BackerKit supporters, who made the audiobook possible.

Hey y'all, let's show some love to Black creatives on Valentine's Day! We're closing in on being halfway funded, halfway through our campaign. I know we can do this! Spread the word! Spread the love! ❤️🐉❤️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/115...

Here was my library haul on Tuesday. I read the captivating HOW TO BE ACE graphic novel memoir by Rebecca Burgess in one day. Now, I'm excited to jump into the 3rd installment of the Lady Astronaut Universe by @maryrobinettekowal.com before THE MARTIAN CONTINGENCY's release next month.

Deal report! It always looks so official when it's on Publishers Marketplace. I'm delighted to work with @tangentgeoff.bsky.social at @apbooks.bsky.social as this book comes to life.

A little secret, as soon as we knew Marie was writing this book we told her we wanted to publish it. That was 2 or 3 years ago I believe. We are so excited to be working with Marie to let Flightless take wing!

I'm delighted to report that FLIGHTLESS, my social justice fantasy heist novel, is under contract with @apbooks.bsky.social. Anticipated pub date: first quarter of 2026. Aro/ace protag with FOUNDRYSIDE x GLOOMHAVEN vibes. Huzzah!

The 2nd Sandia Starforgers retreat for spec fic writers is officially sold out. We're welcoming instructors @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social, @maryrobinettekowal.com, @dianapho.bsky.social, @tangentgeoff.bsky.social, and (virtually) @katemckean.bsky.social in May. Upcoming events: starforgers.com
