I'm trying to get more into reading publishing substacks, especially in the children's space! Any recs for me? Feel free to plug yourself 😊

Anthony Stewart Head will always be a real one for this. RIP www.thepinknews.com/2019/12/20/a...

idk guys when i see a lot of similar headlines insisting that editors & authors are all already embracing AI, i don't assume these things are true. i assume there are a lot of very rich people with an unpopular product pushing a particular narrative in my industry!

Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

As president of @authorsabb.bsky.social, I stand with all 10 toes down against this first of its kind federal book banning bigoted bullsh*t bill. It's a Trojan Horse for the federal gov't to weasel its way into our classrooms, and decide what YOU and YOUR kids can read. In short, I hate it.

This is not a joke. Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction will be an ongoing series! And we’re open to submissions for the second volume starting today: soniasulaiman.com/thyme-travel...

I'm acquiring middle grade and young adult fiction for Peachtree and Peachtree Teen! Especially looking for horror, mystery/thrillers, grounded speculative fiction, contemporary, and romance. Authors and agents, check out my #mswl 📖

I can't stress this enough. Being a great writer requires you being an enthusiastic reader. Read in your genre and out of it. (Yeah, even those kinds of books you swear aren't for you occassionally. You might be surprised.) Devour as much as you can.

They have now removed the Pride flag from the Stonewall Inn. Erasure. Just like the Nazis. gaycitynews.com/trump-rainbo...

Remember if you watch this show or buy this merch, no trans person will like or trust you ever again. Sorry but those are the rules.

Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA. He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.

My book is an Indie Ink nominee! I’m so glad my little queer, disabled stories are resonating with people, and it would mean the world to me if you can head to indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-... and cast your vote for: ✨best cover ✨best disability rep by a disabled author ✨best mental health rep

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.
