Never have I agreed so aggressively with a headline

"I don’t think there’s a cryptid or monster more sexy or seductive as vampires can be." Ryan Coogler explains how he settled on vampires as the bad guys for Sinners (and what monsters didn't make the cut): reactormag.com/werewolves-v...

Got the first pass pages of my novel and I am deliriously excited! Now I know what the font looks like!!! And the chapter titles!!!

Hi new people 👋🏽 I’m an author, playwright, and educator who writes speculative fiction that celebrates queerness, Blackness & Indigeneity. My debut novel RABBIT, FOX, TAR is coming out next year! You can find my latest stories here ⬇️ and in @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social’s upcoming Gods & Monsters issue…

The individuals who were shot were detainees, not ICE agents. Let’s get those facts straight as they try to spin this into violence against ICE…

Who’s ready to write some delicious flash fiction? Choose your path and write something magical, suspenseful, or hilarious. And don’t forget the buttermilk! ⏲️ #WritingPrompt #SFF #Blacksky

Wishing everyone a great Fall.

Spoke with a friend who wanted advice on writing her first book and it reminded why I love writing so much! I can get so in the weeds with projects, but just talking about those early discoveries you make on the page got me so excited for her!

It’s Latine heritage month September 15 - October 15, which means it’s a really great time to support Latine creators. I’m one, but there are many others. Look for our work. Mine can be accessed through my linktree in bio. #latineheritagemonth

Happy Latinx Heritage Month! If you’re looking for a book rec, might I suggest This Is Why They Hate Us, a novel about a bi Mexican teen growing up in East LA who tries to get over his crush on his best friend by getting under someone else!

Look, Mom! I’m on the front page of @newplayexchange.bsky.social!
