“I’ll put on more coffee,” she says. “I love you.” From the project I’m currently querying ✨

Bones but not gross #WIP

Can you hear the people sing?

I like drawing from my college experience writing this story, but I did leave out the part of the real experience in which we had to talk a guy we knew out of drunk driving home in a Jimmy Johns.

My latest reads 📚

The protagonist and I actually have different voices!

And the roster page on the website is down… I need to know if the rookies are okay.

11/10 social media work by the Durham Bulls

It’s a big day in small town North Carolina. We’re getting a traffic circle and I’m hosting this panel today!

In Paper Bags and Plastic Hearts, I've got Watchmen, Omnitopia Dawn, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Illiad, The Beautiful and Damned, and The Book Thief so far. It's about English majors, so there should be more eventually.

Actually surprised I have a #WIPSnips for this one

Convenient that I started writing a basketball romance

Pride flag inspired moodboards for my MCs Avi and Aidan 🏳️‍🌈 I'm currently querying The Axis of You and Me about these two actors who fall in love and make a real mess of it

June 21 at 2 p.m. I'm moderating a talk with Lillie Lainoff, Jonny Garza Villa and Robbie Couch! We're going to talk about grief in young adult fiction. It'd be awesome if you came! docs.google.com/forms/d/10li...

Outside accountability yes pls I’m a serious plotter, so I’d like to plot my new WIP at least a little.

Late to join butttttt, this week I hit 34K words on my main WIP (!!) while every few days the narrator of a sapphic basketball story gives me a few ideas that I immediately write down.

I thought I wasn’t that emotional about it, but the mix of original Taylor and newer Taylor that I get now on Spotify has me a special kind of nostalgic actually

Eeeeee so excited to share my baby coming out to her moms. My sweet demisexual girl from my WIP 💟

Happy Pride! 🖤🤍💜🩶

From the project I'm querying, The Axis of You and Me 🏳️‍🌈

Book mail ✨ Thank you, @nicolezelniker.bsky.social, for letting me be Avery’s first reader literal years ago 💜

We traveled over the weekend, and I am my most productive on planes. 🖋️ Two snippets from different WIPs with very different voices.

That’s me! We’re gonna have a great time!

I’m just a girl asking the Wings to put Zaza in a game. #WNBA

As a State fan, it’s so comforting to see Connecticut taking care of Niya. ❤️🧡

@nicolezelniker.bsky.social is talking to @aidenschmaiden.bsky.social on TikTok now everyone go watch it!!!

HAPPY ALL I KNOW SO FAR DAY🔥🌈🥳 I’m SO excited to have this book out in the world. I hope y’all love Avery and co. as much as I do❤️

Book fair at Botanist and Barrel 📚 Ft. my favorite local author @nicolezelniker.bsky.social

I’m a WNBA fan now, but this is what I talk about when I watch a game.

And they scared me!

I’m at Flyleaf for the launch event for An American Girl Anthology and there is pink cake and people brought their dolls. I’m declaring American Girl Doll summer.

What if I just post a little bit every day for accountability that I am writing?

When querying gets too scary, we go back to writing fluffy stuff.
