Thrilled to unveil the cover of my debut horror novel, THE CURSE OF HESTER GARDENS, coming 2026 from @erewhonbooks.bsky.social! See the full cover and read an excerpt in @peoplemag.bsky.social (link in comments!) @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social @dianapho.bsky.social @beccapodos.bsky.social

The @qtlibrary.org is continuing our end-of-year campaign, “From Seed to Shelf” — any amount, large or small, will help us reach our $100,000 goal. And if you want to help in other ways, spread the word or reach out to me for ways you can volunteer!

✨Meet our beautiful new board members ✨ We are so, so honored that Jen Sarduy, Adriana Raines, and @beccapodos.bsky.social have joined our board. Their work fostering communities is exactly what the QT Library needs to continue planting the seeds for our perfect LGBTQIA+ future!

Israel begins 'series of strikes' in south Gaza - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israel-begins-series-strikes-south-gaza

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

Today begins the annual campaign for QT Library, a Boston-based queer and trans library I’m honored to volunteer with. Spaces that support queer stories and queer communities are as vital now as they’ve ever been, and it would mean so much if you’d help us to re-resource and grow 📚🌱🏳️‍⚧️ surl.lt/khsjna

ITS A BAT DAMN TIME! 🦇⚰️🩸 Dead & Breakfast is out today! Vampires Arthur and Sal just want to live a quiet retirement running a B&B, but when the mayor is found dead in their garden, they must solve the crime to prove their innocence! Get your copy: www.rosieethor.com/dead-and-bre...

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Grab your hot pants and disco boots, because it’s pub day for WHAT IF…KITTY PRYDE STOLE THE PHOENIX FORCE? It’s a little weird, a lot timey-wimey, and most of all, a love letter to these characters and comics I grew up alongside 🐦‍🔥

Ok so tomorrow y'all are getting new books by me, @jtewwrites.bsky.social, AND @beccapodos.bsky.social, PLUS a cover reveal by @elizmanderson.com!? Damn, what an amazing day to be a reader📚✨

Some good news! After all that, only O.03% of families opted out of LGBTQ+ Education in Maryland after the Supreme Court gave them the ability to do so. Not just a majority, not just most families, nearly all families want their kids to have access to this education. We are the majority

Hey that’s me 🐦‍🔥

Tomorrow at @aiptcomics.com, #XMenMonday takes a brief break from exploring the #AgeOfRevelation to discuss ‘What If… Kitty Pryde Stole the Phoenix Force?’ — featuring #KittyPryde, #BetsyBraddock, #JeanGrey, #EmmaFrost, and other #XMen characters — with its author @beccapodos.bsky.social!

I'm sorry to have to ask, but please don't use the DVpit query link unless I've requested your story; I'm trying to be realistic and fair in my number of requests!

Welcome back, DVpit! While I'm closed to queries, I'm still looking for some particular stories, so please feel free to submit a query and full here if I like your pitch: querytracker.net/query/BeccaP... (and if I like a project that's already in my inbox, just message through QM to let me know 🙏)

"We separate people from their kids. Tackle as many of them as possible. Zip-tie their toddlers and grandparents. And stand around looking tough. We look so tough. Increasingly, we also really need to take dumps."

Cannot get over this art by the one and only @beccapodos.bsky.social What If Kitty Pryde Stole the Phoenix Force is such a labor of love inside & out. If this book had a thesis Id say it’s: Love is an immutable constant, but inspires the greatest change.

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

She’s heeeeere 🐦‍🔥

The guy pushing Leucovorin for autism (Frye) works closely and repeatedly with the guy who pushed heavy metal chelation for autism (Rossignol), a practice that has actually killed children.

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

There are 12 days ‘til Pryde Month (heh heh heh) and I’m counting down with book quotes from WHAT IF…KITTY PRYDE STOLE THE PHOENIX FORCE? Let’s start with absolute legend America Chavez, for no particular reason 🐦‍🔥

This is How We Roll is OUT NOW!! I may not have my hardcover copies yet, but you can venture forth into the world and buy one for yourself! These twelve stories are all directly from the heart, and I’m so proud of all the hard work everyone put into this project. I can't wait for y'all to read it!

THIS IS HOW WE ROLL, a YA anthology of queer stories about TTRPG, edited by the unmatchable @rosieethor.bsky.social , hits shelves tomorrow. I hope it reaches the readers who need it, like I hope that even in times like these, queer kids will find their way to the tabletop to tell stories together.

Hey, did you know my queer TTRPG anthology releases in just SIX DAYS?? It's full of queer coming of age stories set around the gaming table. If that sounds up your alley, you can preorder from Always Here Bookstore to get a signed bookplate and sticker! www.alwaysherebooks.com/product/this...

You all know how this goes! WHAT IF…KITTY PRYDE STOLE THE PHOENIX FORCE? hits shelves in a little over a month, and now through Friday, all B&N Premium and Rewards members can preorder it for 25% off. Add it to your cart today if you want…

Oh hey that’s meeeee 🐦‍🔥

Sickening. Every journalist in America should think deeply about the fact that most American politicians are willing to accept and indeed facilitate the murder of our colleagues.

The @dazzlingbookish.bsky.social special edition of HOMEGROWN MAGIC arrived at last, and ✨🍓oh my god🍓✨

Now I know I’m closed to queries… but if you’re querying a queer or BIPOC western romance (or horroromance?!) 👀

one of the single best deals in streaming. i've been paying for PBS Passport for years. it rules

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Boston and Boston-ish friends! In “I can’t believe I get to do cool stuff like this” news, I’m joining an all-author live D&D one-shot on August 26th to celebrate the first birthday of Side Quest Books & Games, which has quickly become one of my favorite indies. Come and see us 🎉🏹

Hi querying folks! Because I’ve been getting nudges and questions, two quick notes: - I DO respond to all queries, just not quickly. Sorry! I was open from April-June and ended up with over 2k queries, which I’m working through now - You CAN query another Neighborhood agent if you’ve queried me!

The Lit for Queer Liberation auction is now open!!!Come and bid on two query and first chapter critiques from me, or outbid me on the many items I’ve already gone after (I don’t mind losing for a good cause).

@gmunoz6991.bsky.social is working the SDCC Random House Worlds booth where they have these REALLY COOL Marvel What If... bookmarks from me, @beccapodos.bsky.social @authoroux.bsky.social and Seanan Mcguire! Go to booth 2021 to grab them!

📖 2025 Releases with Nonbinary Characters

Friends, I’m hosting a lovely giveaway for Homegrown magic with the authors @beccapodos.bsky.social @jamiepacton.bsky.social with my bindery channel @binderybooks.bsky.social Head on over to insta to participate: www.instagram.com/p/DMPkpgbo88...

U.S. citizen and veteran. ICE shattered his windows, peppered sprayed him, yanked him from his car, arrested him, held him incommunicado for three days. Because he was working at a farm where undocumented people also work. www.mediamatters.org/msnbc/msnbcs...

Rümeysa Öztürk describes the library in the prison where she was held for 45 days for co-authoring an op-ed

It’s Non-Binary People’s Day, and I want to thank every reader who’s reached out to tell me how much Yael, the enby romantic lead of HOMEGROWN MAGIC, meant to them. They mean so much to me. Every author should get to write themselves in stories, as every reader deserves to see themselves in stories.

A question: because I spent an eight-hour car ride from Virginia to CT sorting through my queries, is it helpful for an agent to share very broad reasons why queries might get a request or reject, or does that level of transparency unnecessarily fuel writer angst? As an angsty writer, I’d get it 😅

someone needs to do something and you are someone what are you gonna do

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you. It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.
