I’m looking for an artist who can draw people and animals!! Specifically mastiffs. I’m looking for less realistic, more stylized, and a moody/dark atmosphere. If commissions are currently closed, that’s okay! Due date is June 2026 (ish), but I wanted to ask early in case there are some waitlists :))

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!🎃👻 I used to think I wouldn't like horror or paranormal books, but then I found YA horror/paranormal and been devouring them, including books by @mariahstillbrook.bsky.social, @jessicalewisauthor.bsky.social, and @heyitschloespencer.bsky.social. Have a happy (yet safe) Halloween!

I've been sitting on this blog post since August, but I finally posted yesterday about my plan to publish my gay sci-fi book: alexisamesbooks.com/2025/10/10/a.... I'd like to say that my marketing in the coming months will be better than this but tbh that's probably a lie. #WritingCommunity #SFF

Squee! I now have a copy of my friend @jessicalewisauthor.bsky.social new sapphic rom book "Nav's Guide To Falling in Love" #writingcommunity get you some #writer friends & support their work! #ally #allyouneedislove #lgbtqcommunity #lgbtqia #Pride #pridemonth #Pride2025 #readers #books

I’m not on here as much as I should be (sorry!!) but I’m active on IG and Threads at JessicaLewisAuthor. And!! You can join my newsletter for freebies and to listen to me yap at my website: www.authorjessicalewis.com #BIPOCQTchat

It’s tough to balance. I try to focus on how far we’ve come. Today I made a rainbow stack of queer books and they were almost all from BIPOC authors! You couldn’t do that even five years ago (at least, in traditional). I feel lucky to be where we are and I want to help go further still #BIPOCQTchat

I feel like it’s everything, no? Every moment has accumulated to make me, me. And thus those moments inform my work, bc they’re a piece of me. My love of dogs. My fascination with Waffle House. My insecurity about money, my mom issues, the fact that I love pokemon. It’s all me! #BIPOCQTchat

*me scrambling desperately among my thousand WIPs* Line from my rom com (that I’m not editing, shhhh): “No one’s ever looked at me like that. Like I wasn’t an insufferable disaster. Like I wasn’t annoying, a failure, too much. She looked at me like I was someone to be loved.” #BIPOCQTchat

I really like that I’m passionate and curious about craft. I once spent six months researching and learning how to self edit because I wasn’t satisfied with my skill level. I listen to feedback (even if I whine about it first lol) and change for the better. I think that’s pretty neat! #BIPOCQTchat

Hi I’m Jessica! I write YA and MG, and recently adult! Mostly horror and romance. I’m *supposed* to be editing my rom com, but I just wrote a speculative short story today that kinda slapped?? And I’m reading One Summer in Miami, a sapphic romance! 🥰🥰 #BIPOCQTchat

I wish y’all could have heard the noise I made when he moved the blanket

Well, my latest book came out two days ago!! You can get my sapphic YA rom com, Nav’s Foolproof Guide to Falling in Love, wherever books are sold :’) You can also sign up for my newsletter! It’ll be the best place to keep up with this werewolf book I’m apparently writing now lol #BIPOCQTchat

TOO MANY TO COUNT!! Basically everyone chatting right now lol plus Ciara Smyth, Leah Johnson, Caitlin Starling, Erin Baldwin, and Racquel Marie!!! #BIPOCQTchat

A5: Listen. Listen I'm biased. But I said it before and I'll say it again NAV'S FOOLPROOF GUIDE TO FALLING IN LOVE by @jessicalewisauthor.bsky.social is the perfect YA romcom and I will NEVER EVER SHUT UP ABOUT IT #BIPOCQTchat

Werewolves, but scary, not sexy. I wanna see some grotesque transformations, the pain of bones shattering, skin ripping. The horror of being othered and the world telling you you’re dangerous. You having to decide if they’re right. Yeah. GIVE ME (and if not I’ll do it myself 😤) #BIPOCQTchat

I really want my favorite booktuber to read and like one of my horror books. She doesn’t even have to love it. I’ll take a 3.5 lol. I won’t speak the name in case it’s birthday wish rules and it won’t come true 💀 #BIPOCQTchat

It’s tough, but I try to limit social media time (ironic, I know), read books I love, and consuming games or anime content. Also I saw Sinners recently and it rewired my brain chemistry in the best possible way so EVERYONE GO SEE IT RIGHT NOW OR AGAIN #BIPOCQTchat

Hello!! I’m Jessica, and I write adult, YA, and MG in every genre under the sun lol. I’m currently working on an adult haunted house book and a YA rom com! #BIPOCQTchat

Nav’s foolproof guide to falling in love is a refreshing is ya rom com. I loved the characters and their journey and how emotion seems to flow off the page. It came in today and I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for @jessicalewisauthor.bsky.social next book! 5🌟 #booksky 🌶️📚

HAPPY BOOK DAY @jessicalewisauthor.bsky.social!!!!! Everyone pick this one up it's absolutely ADORABLE

It’s time!! Nav’s Foolproof Guide to Falling in Love is now out in the world. I hope you love this goofy, sweet, sapphic YA rom com as much as I do 💖💖

HI I AM CRYING 😭💖😭💖

Y'all better buy this book because it's the exact type of cute, funny, heartfelt gay shit we all need right now

12yo Jane’s moods affect the weather. Her landlord threatens eviction because of it. Now she’s got a goal: control her emotions to save her home. But there’s cute new boy in town, and with him come some new feelings she’s never had before—her first crush. #BluePit📖 #Q #DIS #MG #Con #R

📖Peri-menopausal witch, Midgeley needs a job – magic costs are sky-high. Petsitting for her cousin’s wyverns should be simple – but she's embroiled in murder, race fixing, and kidnap. Hot flush-powered rage sees her solve the crimes with a traditional showdown to save her job. #BluePit #W #A #F #C

Love rainy, cozy Sunday afternoons 🥰🥰 curling up with a good book later! I can’t decide if I want to read an adult romance or a YA horror…maybe I’ll start both? 👀

Anime besties—can we talk about Blue Lock and how incredible that last episode was?? I was shrieking when the movie bars came in like my GOD!!!
