"The phrase dark academia evokes haunted halls on elite campuses, dusty libraries and dour dorms, and toxic type-A friend groups." TODAY!! Updating the Curriculum: 2025 SFFH Dark Academia Novels You Won’t Want to Miss by @courtney-floyd.com FEATURING (cont') psychopomp.com/2025-dark-ac...

Goodreads Giveaway!!! My publisher has a Goodreads giveaway going on for 100(!!) physical ARCs of my fever haze southwestern dark academia debut THE BOOK OF AUTUMN, which a reviewer called “if The Secret History wandered into a desert cult.” Lasts until 06/10! www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

Something you might not know about book world: in the era of online shopping, not every book makes it to the shelf for you to browse. Here are a few great debuts you can request at your local B&N and indies to make sure everybody gets to see them! (Credit to @mossyair.bsky.social for the graphic!)

Good news, North Americans! The Serpent Called Mercy’s ebook is on promo for just $4.99 — monster fights, political intrigue, and found family await. Buy now: astrapublishinghouse.com/product/the-... 📚 Yoink it before the deal ends. Or gift a copy to a friend! Or an enemy, I’m not picky!

I was so excited to talk to @herberthistory.bsky.social on his awesome Historians at the Movies podcast! We talked about being ex-Floridians and ex-academics--oh, and also about Robin Hood! 🦊

It’s that time again! BEHOOVED and many other titles are 25% off at Barnes & Noble. It feels weird to be doing book promo in the current times, but this is also a time when it’s super important to support debuts and diverse voices 💜

Authors, if you see this, post the first line of your book. Some places never let go of you. They slip inside your pores, cling to your neck like a leech. And though you fight like hell to break loose, there’s no stopping it. The place is part of you now. It’s in your blood. (The Book of Autumn)

Got my worldcon ticket!! It’ll be my first con ever so I don’t know what to expect but should be fun!

🏹 THE TRAITOR OF SHERWOOD FOREST 🏹 comes out three months from today! To celebrate, say hello to Wyll Scathlock (aka Will Scarlet) on page 3! #booksky #RobinHood #historicalfiction

I know this sounds weak, I know it. But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other. We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

Hi, new friends! If you're here for my upcoming Robin Hood retelling, here's a little preview! 🦊

have I forgotten how to write, or do I do this every time: a memoir

Have never had such a hard time focusing as now! What's worked: -Taking a break! When I stopped forcing it & just played vid games, it was like my brain reset -Worked on unrelated WIP. Go where your brain wants you to go! Nothing is wasted -Train brain for writing time w/ specific song, smell, etc

i am the most casual watcher of boxing in all the world but the serrano vs katie taylor fight holy SHIT????? katie taylor got that dog in her

i don’t know about you guys but sure does feel like all the world has conspired to distract me from hitting this deadline

My kingdom for a social media site for writers without the character limit…..I write fantasy books that are over 100k words, give me freeeedom

almost forgot to introduce myself but hi im hali, an adult romance author from texas repped by sam fabien at root literary! i’m also studying for my master’s in library science (graduating next semester 🎉)! i’m currently working on LOVE YOU TO DEATH, a sapphic exes to lovers romance/mystery 🥀🖤

Lots of new folks around so time for an intro post! I’m Molly, and my debut THE BOOK OF AUTUMN is a contemporary fantasy that’s Ethel Cain x southwestern gothic about an anthropologist forced to work with her ex to investigate the malevolent spell afflicting the students of their alma mater.

BACKLIST TIME! (It's not a thing but I'm making it a thing) SFFH people: What's a story you've written that you are particularly proud of or want more people read? Caveats are: - It can't have won any awards - It has to have been published 2022 or before

*spritzes you with a water bottle* stop calling it content. you aren’t creating content. you’re creating art. you’re an artist.
