A fantastic read of the Twelve Dancing Princesses by @mariecroke.bsky.social in The Orange & Bee. I just love how this story comes together from 12 different views. It's one for the #fairytale lovers! theorangebee.substack.com/p/but-do-you... #fantasy #princesses #shortstory #happilyeverafter

I dont care what anyone says, i LOVE that movie :)

My story "Trial by Fire" in the Zombies Need Brains antho Solar Flare (ed by @joshuapalmatier.bsky.social & @patriciabray.bsky.social) features a family making solar lanterns with bioluminescent plants! Love it when my ideas come true! zombies-need-brains-llc.square.site/product/sola...

It's officially fundraising time over at @thecosmicbgr.bsky.social, and we're doing things a little differently this year. Help a pro-paying, deeply-progressive, 100% human magazine continue to thrive. We'll love you for it. gofund.me/ca0c2b7d

I subscribe to the bathtub model of skill aggregation, only my bathtub is filled with a strange concoction of lattes, rum, and pomegranate smoothies since i want my writing to be spicy, sweet, and maybe a little fucked up

Today is THE DAY. You can now actually order for-real copies of my adult fantasy debut HOUSE OF DUSK in hardback, ebook and audio format pretty much anywhere books are sold! Lots of links and blurbs here: devafagan.com/house-of-dusk/

Just a reminder that i have a story in this upcoming Best Of Anthology! "A Lullaby of Anguish," about our obsession with buying and selling and displaying anguish, and two sisters who were caught in that life

Got some crit/beta feedback today that is going to elevate this book 💀🌱

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon

My writing process is some hunger games shit where i add words to a dozen different novels while eagerly anticipating finding out which ones will survive to the end

your intermittent reminder of my existing newsletter where i rant about writing, publishing, and my childhood trauma! in the next newsletter, i'll be getting super real about having a debut novel come out in 6 months 🥲

Quiet date yestereve

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

Cons are amazing! You get to hang out with old writer friends and meet other like-minded ppl (and give hugs!!) But cons aren't necessary for your career, just your finished words are. So if you can't go for whatever reasons, no worries, for you always have your next story!

I love @mariecroke.bsky.social's story about changing yourself, when being yourself is enough. Read this gorgeous story in @metastellar.bsky.social www.metastellar.com/fiction/flas... #speculative #flashfiction #shortstory

Inside every irritated cat there is a fluffball who demands more hugs #caturday

okay um let's see 1) Sapphic & autistic readers love the sapphic & autistic rep 2) A famous editor once told me I was "so good at characters" 3) um um 😓 um... I can turn revisions in pretty quick???

1) I have ideas that people enjoy. 2) My narrative style often leans somewhat poetic and I think that's kinda neat. 3) I've made people who don't often like second person POV enjoy it, and I'm proud of that.

Say three positive things about your writing! I'll go first: 1) My characters have a lot of depth 2) I can wring emotion from my readers 3) and my narrative voices are versatile Now you!

I have a new story out in @castofwonders.org with wonderful narration by @danooli.com and hosting by @scribblejotter.bsky.social. This one is about how we deal (or not) with emotions in a family. And how we pass that damn behaviour on.
