With the rise of AI and... well, everything's that is happening, really—I urge you all to read. There's a dismantling of Humanities for a reason, so you should read: fiction, poetry, History, everything. Take with you the lessons of previous generations, make your life richer, learn new things.

Amigos, esta autora aqui tem o prazer de anunciar que agora é agenciada pela Jennifer Jackson - @arcaedia.bsky.social -, da Donald Maass Literary Agency. Estou feliz? Pra caramba. Muitos #VemAí nos esperam num futuro próximo.

Thrilled to welcome Clara! Wait until you all see what she's working on!

Hello, hi, good day, please admire my sophisticated artistic abilities as I attempt to lure you into buying my book.

This Murderbot + Witch King and more Humble Bundle from @torbooks.bsky.social has raised nearly $80,000 for @wck.org World Central Kitchen -- Can we get that up higher before time runs out? #booksky www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

Just returning after nearly 3 weeks away for various reasons. And I see... A lot has happened. Universe (and all else) grant me grace while I get my bearings. (And, to those asking - yes, I'll also be responding to queries/submissions still on queue as well.)

Absolutely chuffed to announce that pre-orders for ANGEL MAKER are now open. Details here: www.patreon.com/posts/136481... The long-awaited full-length sequel to the cult classic KAREN MEMORY! (Audible books are a little goofed up in the database right now, so hold off on those.)

Out in paperback TODAY!

Launching a fanzine. Soliciting content, especially substantive and comprehensive reviews on anything sword & sorcery related (think 500 words and up, no top end).

I am so fucking thrilled. This is such a great book, precisely and elegantly *weird* and uncomfortably human. It really deserves a nice solid UK edition!

SURPRISE!

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that THE FOLDED SKY is a finalist for the Dragon Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. awards.dragoncon.org/2025-ballot/

I reserve the right to have more opinions later, but my last one for now… My book is good. You should read it.

one like, one writing opinion.

Hey, guess what!? It is just two months and one day to the debut of Angel Maker!! (and also, chicken butt, naturally)

I'm very pleased to share this (nonspoilery) review of THE FOLDED SKY by @hawkwinglb.bsky.social at @reactorsff.bsky.social ! reactormag.com/book-review-...

Hello, writer friends! Heads up that I'm reluctantly closing to queries as of Monday (July 14th). Hoping to re-open in the Fall. In the meantime I'll be reading and responding to the submissions I've already received. Seeing so much talent in my inbox and want to give this my best attention.

Remember tonight: reactormag.com/read-a-new-m...

Oh yay, they announced it!!

(I would also like to shout this out particularly to writers: DO NOT sleep on ASUNDER. A masterclass in worldbuilding, full of grounded, chewy, substantial details that make the world feel solid and real, not an afterthought.)

It's Murderbot Eve/Day: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ6H...

It's Friday morning and THE FOLDED SKY is out all over the English-speaking world! books2read.com/u/mBB0QZ?for...

I have a new book out this week! Which means I also have a newsletter to link with author appearances and pretty book covers to look at and possibly buy! buttondown.com/matociquala/...

It's launch day and we're going to space! The US edition of THE FOLDED SKY is available now in ebook, TPB, and hardcover, and there are wonderful new Stephen Youll covers for ANCESTRAL NIGHT and MACHINE. books2read.com/b/mBB0QZ

This timeline is really getting on my last nerve. Just venting a little after a person very dear to me got some pretty terrible news which almost certainly can be laid largely at the door of those currently responsible for the wrecking of all the things.

SecUnit hates that physical affection! Read the Murderbot Diaries by @marthawells.com and watch the new Murderbot show if you haven't already. Most relatable robot human construct 🤖 (Process of book vase. Inspired by All Systems Red and the series in general)

“In a career of barely a decade, Premee Mohamed has emerged as one of the more adventurous new voices in SFF, both in terms of genre and form…” @garykwolfe’s reviews ONE MESSAGE REMAINS by @premeemohamed.com - locusmag.com/2025/06...

To wake up to a dead roommate, for the day to get worse from there. Many such cases in @casskhaw.bsky.social's new dark academia horror The Library at Hellebore. You can read an excerpt now! reactormag.com/excerpts-the...

My author copies of the UK and US editions of THE FOLDED SKY have landed! UK edition available 6/19: US edition available 6/17! Pre-orders available now! Details on appearances and where to pre-order signed copies in the USA here: buttondown.com/matociquala/...

Oh, I also have a book out today! bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

We should have a thread in which we celebrate the work of writers who have passed within the last decade or so and are in danger of being forgotten. I choose Jay Lake (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Lake) (sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/lake_jay) and his TRIAL OF FLOWERS (www.amazon.com/Trial-Flower...)

And lo, the trailer did drop: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2... #murderbot

Happy Book Day, Diviner's Bow! 27th in the star-spanning Liaden Universe® created by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller, riffs on classic Lee-&-Miller themes of what it means to be human, & the proposition that we’re all better when we help each other. sharonleewriter.com/2025/04/happ... #writingcommunity

ICYMI, I quietly opened to queries on Friday after a long hiatus. I also made a caramelized carrot and bacon pie for pi day. And now.... happy St. Patrick's to you. What's for dinner?

Today looks like a lot. Maybe not slowing down soon. Do what you can. Among other things... saving the world, one book sale at a time. And just like that. I'm opening to queries. Updated guidelines here: maassagency.com/jennifer-jac... Plus happy pi day to all who celebrate. What are you making?

I’m so happy. This is one of the biggest things to ever happen to me. 💛 nebulas.sfwa.org/award-year/2...

Nothing like a little self-promotion while the world is on fire, but that's life in 2025, I guess.

Prosper with Dragons is FUNDED!!! We couldn't have done it without you! ❤️🐉 Deepest, deepest thanks. To us, it's so much more than a card game, it's supporting the arts & community and it's showing Black kids they belong in our fantasy worlds and in our future. www.kickstarter.com/projects/115...

The Hugo nominations are open. I poured my heart into this novel. It’s my best work. I would ask that, if you enjoyed it, you consider including Asunder on your ballot.

Ah! Asunder made a longlist! www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-...

Day 3 of our Kickstarter Campaign! We're at 87 backers now, and if we can get to 100 today, we'll be at that all-important 1/3 of our funding goal! Our Buy One/Give One has been REALLY popular! So proud of y'all for getting this game to the kids who need it! ❤️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/115...

My contributer copy of Locus came today. Thank you @locusmag.bsky.social for putting this together and to @arleysorg.bsky.social who let me speak so candidly. I didn't expect it to be so glossy. I never expected to be in these pages talking about Countess and my disruptive agenda. 💜🙏🏽 😈
