As part of the Sydney Writers Festival I got to have this portrait taken by tintypecentral.com using a 19th-century "wet plate" photographic process. I love it -- I look like my own ancestor

...Baby One More Time, Chapter 19 They’ve finally saved Quentin 40 while keeping those in that timeline—and the rest of the universe—safe. It means so much. It’s a lot to accomplish, a lot to take in. www.tumblr.com/eliotqueliot... #queliotfanfic #themagiciansfanfic #eliotwaugh #quentincoldwater

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

We'll have a rec list of Pacific Islanders later this month.

This is going to be a really remarkable conversation, not least because the legendary Garth Nix (not shown) is going to be in on it too. May 23rd at the Sydney Writers Festival. www.swf.org.au/program/fest...

“He looked up at the empty clouds, and as he died he wondered, not for the first time but for the very last, why it should be that we are made for a bright world, but live in a dark one.” -- @levgrossman.com, THE BRIGHT SWORD

The God of Sleep will be out in one week! In recognition of this, here is a detail from one of the pages. It is a cat riding on a graham cracker. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/lev-g...

THE GOD OF SLEEP was inspired by my love of mythology and the nonsense poems of Edward Lear. Picture books are very much a word-of-mouth business, so if you have or know a child who likes rhymes or beautiful drawings or polytheism, consider mentioning THE GOD OF SLEEP to them and/or their parents!

Today is the official book birthday of THE GOD OF SLEEP! Written by me with gorgeous illustrations by Huynh Kim Liên -- for example this one of the God of Math, who is obviously doing some serious differential calculus or something in her head. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/lev-g...

"I insisted that the god of sleep be shown on the toilet. So if anyone is offended by that, that is completely my fault." I talked to @publisherswkly.bsky.social about writing a picture book. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

The Magician King by @levgrossman.com is my favorite book of my favorite trilogy, and this looks like a gorgeous edition!! grimoakpress.com/products/the... #themagicianking #themagicians #levgrossman

It's a small thing but wow, getting a new podcast off the ground -- with no corporate or institutional support -- is a heavy lift. Even tiny things count!

The Secret Life of Books is up for an NYC podcast award! If you like it please vote! Early and often! @slobpodcast.bsky.social www.silver-nyc.com/nycpodcastaw...

(I'm posting about it here partly b/c I've never published a picture book before and don't really know how to get the word out about it. So if you have a small child who likes rhymes and irritable gods, well, have I got the book for you.)

For anybody local to Sydney, I'll be on a hell of a panel at the Writers Festival on May 23: myself, Garth Nix and R.F. Kuang. Should be an amazing conversation. www.swf.org.au/program/fest...

Semi-regular reminder that THE GOD OF SLEEP is coming out March 24! Booklist just reviewed it: "Grossman’s first foray into picture books is a beauty. The lovely lilting text features clever rhymes and gentle humor, and the inventive illustrations burst with vibrant hues and darling detail."
