Cobbled my final thoughts together for the excellent The River and The Star by @gromerolacruz.bsky.social !! I'm so lucky to have gotten an arc so I can yap about how much I love Gabby's debut series ❤️ You can check out my full review on my substack

As WHEN INK SWALLOWS THE SUN begins hitting agent inboxes, here's an updated #agentsguide, ft. 🪭An eldritch craving belonging 🏹A failing chosen one 🪭A pampered heir losing it all 🏹A saboteur of her own rebellion ❤️ this post or DM if interested! #agentguide #F #A #writingcommunity

While Ashlea and I are working on our major rewrite of our story, I'd like to present our updated #AgentGuide This is our adult/crossover romantic fantasy with a true slow burn romance, and series potential! #WritingCommunity 📖🦋

As promised, my review for TSATV in anticipation of it's sequel coming out in October this year! So grateful to be on this street team and able to yap about one of my fave duologies of all time ✨@gromerolacruz.bsky.social is an incredible author and I can't wait for the sequel to storm the world <3

Did you know The River and The Star is out on Oct 7th? The first book is one of my all time faves and i am so lucky to have gotten an arc for the sequel! If you're looking for a pride month read then I'd 100% recommend The Sun and The Void, and then preordering the River and The Star 🤭🤭🌟

simple as: if you don't write your own words, from brain to page, you're not a writer. If you're using AI you don't understand what it means to be a writer. A hill I'll die on.

Not sure what the kid-lit community did to deserve @heykellyjensen.bsky.social but I’m glad she’s here. Just wow, what a resource. 👇🏽

Just a small snippet from the scene I'm working on. I'm working to hit the sensory details and timing just right... Horror has to be so intentional with every line, and I'm having a blast with the challenge! 🩸📚 #Snippet #writingcommunity #amquerying (soon!)

SO HYPED FOR KAY!!!!! <3

Hate to be millennial about it all but it is just mental that my whole working life has just been a series of recessions and “economic shocks”, underpinned by stagnant wages

A CURSE CARVED IN INK by Tzeyi Koay, coming 2027 with @simonschusteruk and @atriabooksaus @simonschusterau ✨️

I edited around 10,000 words of my novel yesterday and then made two (2) sheperd's pie afterwards, counting that as a solid win ☺️

run don't walk ppl!!! <3

So today was the official release day for my first traditionally published book. Out in Greenwood is an LGBTQ+ teen novel with humour, mixed with the emotions of realising you are gay at 15 but having to hide those feelings. Please retweet to help me get the word out.

my pitch card for my #amquerying adult urban fantasy, FOR THE DAYS WE NEVER HAD, ft. a discontented college kid and a hopeless romantic grappling with vampires, lost gods, gangs, and shady detectives leave a ❤️/reply if interested! #writingcommunity

first draft vs. last draft: “I paid a dollar for a vial of love off a woman on seventh street.” “Finn paid a pound for a vial of love off a woman on Seventh Street.”

When exorcising ghosts, it helps to have a medium with a cool head and sympathetic heart. Instead, we get unlikable, snarky Constance. In a blend of horror/comedy that gets darker as it goes, traveling ghost hunters get in too deep when the dead won’t RIP. #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #a #uf #h #spec
