I am SO excited, thrilled, over the moon (all the adjectives!!!) To announce that my debut novel WHEN THE FOREST WHISPERS will be published by Orbit UK & US in early 2027. This still feels completely surreal. #horrorbooks #publishingdeal #publishingnews #debutauthor #fictionbooks

Just an author and her first book. #witchqueenrising arrives 4.21.2026. In this Southern Gothic, dark fantasy debut Seraphine Barreau is the only one that can save a city full of monsters from themselves...if they don't kill her first. Preorder and ARC info at linktr.ee/AuthorSavann...

Late on the uptake, but my brilliant agent is open for queries and she's the best. So. #AmQuerying #writers

if gen ai has a million haters i am one of them. if gen ai has a thousand haters i am still one of them. if gen ai has one hater it is me. if gen ai has zero haters it means i have left this world. if the world is against gen ai then i am with the world.

I was doing so well, writing every day, hitting my word count goals, and then I ran face first into the burn out wall and I've done nothing in my "free" hours but snack, nap and watch Critical Role for three weeks.

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.

I always feel weird giving unsolicited writing advice- I'm a good writer & I have an agent but that doesn't make me innately more qualified to give lessons or tips on craft. But that said, if you ever have a question or want eyes on your query package or 1st draft, my DMs are always open.

On this writing journey One thing I am slowly training myself to do is recognize when I need a break. When I start hating everything I write, it means I need a break. Put my brain into passive mode and let it chew on the things that are causing me trouble. Trying to power through never works.

I have a brand new shiny copy of my client's @kcharperauthor.bsky.social GORGEOUS debut, Shadowed Moonlight, which I would love to give to someone (preferably US based as it's living at our offices).

YES. THIS. I have a BA in animation and (though I no longer work in the industry) I take personal offense at the notion that anything animated has to be live action for it to be legit. HTTYD (for example) is a dang MASTERPIECE. It does not need a shot for shot live action replica.

If I had two basic buts of advice for the #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity it would be these: 1 - don't self reject. If an agent reps your genre, query them, even if their MSWL doesn't totally match you. I almost didn't query my agent because I thought (for some reason) she wouldn't like my book. 1/6

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

"If you get stuck jump to a section you're excited to write". The way my brain works, I have to earn the scenes I'm excited about or else I'll just stay blocked on the part giving me difficulty.

I write, predominantly, contemporary fantasy/horror so I get to make a lot of shit up while also pulling from my daily life so it's not research heavy. Current WIP has a survivalist angle so I've had to research some homesteading stuff. But I do this as it comes up, and just enough to add realism.

I always know going in who's going to die so I'm usually braced for it, but there was one death from Lifelines that I cringed all the way through because it ended up being brutal. Necessary (like, the whole plot pivots on this death) but brutal. Snd I had to apologize to my CP's repeatedly, lol.

Okay this sounds AMAZING. Congratulations @danaiwrites.bsky.social

Happy Sunday denizens of Bluesky! I have lots of lovely new followers (hello lovely new followers!) but I'm still missing so many of my #WritingCommunity peeps. Say hello friends!!! Help me find you!

I've had my eyes out for this pub announcement since first caught wind of the book on Xitter. Amazing news!

My favourite and most deserving unicorn @booksbysavannah.bsky.social 🦄 You all want to buy these books, trust.

⭐️ bookish checkpoint ⭐️ 📚 Last book you read: THE FURY OF THE GODS by John Gwynne 📚 Current read: RULES FOR VANINSHING by Kate Alice Marshall 📚 Last book added to tbr: THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST by Premee Mohamad 📚 Next anticipated read: ROYAL ASSASSIN or THE SPEAR CUTS THROUGH WATER

The most important thing has happened! @weratedogs.com is here!!!

This looks badass (check the theead for kickass art as well)

Nothing wrong with the princess girlies (gender neutral) but give me my Baba Yaga hut and leave me in the woods dispensing wisdom to passersby.

I wrote the first chapter heavily featuring my WIP's antagonist today and I'm delighted. She's so scary. I love her. My previous book's baddie was an ancient smoke monster so writing a human monster is fun. I would love to hear about your villains! #WritingCommunity

Okay SO, the words weren't crap! They were actually fine! And I added more words and hit my 70k goal!

✨HOW IT STARTED // HOW IT'S GOING✨ I'm THRILLED to announce that my debut YA fantasy BOUND BY FURY will be published with S&S in Spring of 2026! I am endlessly grateful for my incredible agent Jenissa Graham at Bookends Lit & DREAM editor Sarah McCabe for making my dreams come true! 🧵 1/11

GIVE ME ALL THE "WOKE GARBAGE"!!! ALL OF IT!!!

You know when you write a bunch of words and you're pretty sure they're all crap but you don't want to delete all your progress so you just shut the laptop and hope like hell that when you read it tomorrow it's not as bad as you thought? That.

Does anyone else just immediately start crying when they see a Haka? Like this is so fierce.

In order to find my missing husband (M37), I (M42) started working with a necromancer grandmother who summoned the ghost of my ex-wife. Now she blames me for being dead and being a spirit. AITA? TIL DEATH DO US BARD is out now! #UnhingedPit #A #F #LGBT #P

Listen, if the grim reaper shows up and asks you to cover them at work for three days...don't do it. Now I literally have to go rescue him from some god dude in a place I was pretty sure didn't exist or I'll be stuck as the new grim reaper forever. Not demure. Not mindful. #MG #F #AG #Unhingedpit

AITA for lying to my best friend after he showed up with flowers because he didn't recognize me? My (28M) childhood best friend (28M) and I have been separated for 10 years, and he doesn't recognize me. He also doesn't know I transitioned. AITA? #unhingedpit #OS #NA #romcom #transvoicesmatter
