Had my first ever book signing as an #author. Just wanted to celebrate!

Thank you Karen

What happens when a storm mage prince who is the sole heir to his throne refuses to consummate an arranged marriage made to secure a war alliance? THE GOLDEN WOLF AND THE STORMWIELDER by @flowersandskulls.bsky.social (a fellow member of @writerstsunami.bsky.social) linktr.ee/thetabs #books

Watching a line of agent rejections creep closer and closer to your query on query tracker... #queryingauthors #authors

Dear #readers of Bluesky, May I offer you a cinnamon roll storm mage prince and a wolf-soul (no shifting involved) warrior princess in a war alliance marriage? It's about 2/4 on the spicy scale, and it's a shorter read (57k words) #audhd #authors

*screams into the void because i'm too stressed to write* #authors

While I wait to give news on Unlocking Astraea... #arcreaderswanted for this one! 🚫miscommunication, no love triangles ✅arranged marriage, pregnancy, he falls first, she's grumpy/he's sunshine

#QueryingAuthors I know the query trenches are hard. Agents are swamped. Trad publishers are swamped. It is especially difficult for marginalized authors. Don't overlook indie publishers. You'd be surprised what happens when you jump in their inbox. I was.

As I continue to vague over #UnlockingAstraea, have some moodboards and the mock cover I threw together while querying.... #authors #querying #fantasy #NA #vague

Some of you have followed me from Twitter and TT and have been on the ride to watch my "spite novel" come to fruition. Vaaaaaaaague af #autismawareness #adhd #asd #authors #representationmatters

I literally can’t wait until my imprint is profitable enough to start pouring mad cash back into bookish influencers. Do you understand me? I cannot wait to be able to throw money at the indie authors and influencers who make this space everything it can be. 😍😍😍

Officially in my vagueing era! #writers #publishing #authors

Here's an amicus brief being filed to ensure Seniors get celiac-safe food in care homes. This is hugely important to anyone who has the disease, but also should be expanded to hospitals for ANY celiac. nationalceliac.org/wp-content/u...

A publisher I queried on march 13 just randomly liked a post about the same book I have pinned on my threads. Upon checking their Threads account, I see a post that they will be responding to submissions soon.

Posting my mock cover for the manuscript I've had 2 requests from publishers for this week... For the manifestation vibes

A PUBLISHER I QUERIED AT 7 THIS MORNING JUST REQUESTED THE FULL MANUSCRIPT!!!!! TWO PUBLISHERS IN 2 DAYS!!!! AFTER NEARLY A YEAR OF NOTHING BUT REJECTIONS FROM AGENTS!!!!!!! (Yes, I have been querying long enough to know how to spot a vanity publisher, and these are not vanity). I AM SCREAMING!

*blinks at inbox* *refreshes page and blinks again* After nearly a year querying Unlocking Astraea to agents with no luck, the first press I queried is requesting the first 25 pages? #querying #authors #panicking

Considering soft launching my #WIP by posting small, vague spoilers like drama stirring posts... #authors #fantasy #romantasy

Query letters are the bane of my existence. I had my query package critiqued by: An author who was agented quickly and went on sub just as quickly. A small publisher. A friend's agent who used to rep FFF but no longer does. All 3 critiques contradicted each other. I'm at a loss

#WIP #TheWolfandtheWhitestar #author #romantasy #hefallsfirst Her: *Bites his hand when he covers her mouth. Flips him over her shoulder. Attempts to rip his throat out with her teeth* Him:

#WIP #TheWolfandtheWhitestar She's the battle tested, crown princess of a warrior kingdom with the soul of a wolf. He's the compassionate, crown prince of the rival mage empire with a storm in his veins. Their parents introduce them at the altar to secure an alliance in an impossible war.

Expect a surge of users from threads since they wanna mess around and ban queer emojis and women emojis for US users

Lowkey forgot Bluesky existed for like 10 days.

Success as a writing and literature professor in 2025 is your former students hunting you down on day 1 of a new term to talk about what they learned viewing the #halftime with an analytical eye.

Please, for the love of whatever you believe or don't believe in, WEAR A MASK AND WASH YOUR HANDS! Something is going around: covid, bird flu, flu a/b. Idgaf. It put my ass down for 3 days, and I still sound like a seal.

Day Four of me asking you to help us open doors for Black and brown authors by subscribing to my publishing imprint for $5 or $12 a month. For less than a fast food trip, you can be a part of a community that is actively fighting for change. Come be a part. ❤️❤️✊🏾 Leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com

If you read Black books (which you better) here are some must follow accounts! #blackhistorymonth

If you’re interested in supporting an aspiring Black nonbinary writer this Black History Month, here are some books that I want to study: Amos Tutuola’s, Jamaica Kincaid’s, James Baldwin’s and Frantz Fanon’s entire catalogues. As well as the African Writer Series.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Why are they like this?!?!

Holy Neptune! I didn't expect to win this. It was to create a backstory for the Neptune app icon in under 1000 words. For those who haven't heard of the #neptuneapp, they are definitely worth checking out. Beta testing for the first user wave started this weekend.

HI YES HELLO I BRING GOOD NEWS COURTESY OF @flowersandskulls.bsky.social !!!! The @queerliblib.bsky.social is available on Libby, go get yourself connected and plugged in! libbyapp.com/library/quee... www.queerliberationlibrary.org #booksky #lgbtqbooks #diversebooks #freedomtoread

I am not comfortable with how few of you have read Queen and Conqueror by @isabelleolmo.bsky.social. Let’s do something about it. Imagine Game of Thrones, but replace all of the leading figures with powerful women of color. Sold? Good, don’t be a silly goose. Buy it: bookshop.org/a/87137/9798...

Hard agree! The discord is awesome, and Michael never misses with the books he reviews and promotes.
