Worthy has been available for two weeks now 🥹 I'm just saying. If you've ever complained that there's not enough kinky sapphic books out there (or you just want more redheads to fall in love with), this is your sign 🔥

I will stop choosing violence the moment i see this community does something about... anything. i'm not picky

We can argue about all the nuances all day long, but the truth is that *many* people do not actually understand the difference between actual BDSM/kink and the BDSM/kink they see portrayed in dark romance and it shows (and it makes me cry)

Petition for all artists to make pricing lists and commission forms easy to find, please 🙏

Five days left until Kinktober starts and i either manage everything and feel like a boss or fuck up all my writing schedules once again. anyone wants to take bets?

So, following authors on Amazon has never done shit for me (yay, we love a platform that doesn't work as intended!) but i checked the other day and i have now surpassed 500 followers there, and it makes me v happy 🥺

Me? no, i'm fine, just having a midlife crisis at 28 with a dash of imposter syndrome because tiny indie author

Someone tell me buying another planner is not going to make a difference and i've already set up everything digitally anyway so *is there really a need, ems?*

Help a sapphic author out! Readers, where do you get your news on book releases and so on (that's not IHS)? Fellow authors, what are ads opportunities and newsletters with a good ROI (not run by IHS)? 🩷

Louder for the people in the back: Saying "the situation in 'israel' and Palestine is complicated" only signals you as a safe person to those who won't come out as Zionists but won't get caught calling it a genocide with their full chest either. 🧵

It's a special kind of heartbreak when there's a book by one of your favorite authors you should be obsessing over but you can't because it's full of inconsistencies and now you're too anxious to point it out because most aren't easy fixes but no one is saying anything and that makes you feel bad

Be right back, i just have to let everyone know that I'm doing Kinktober on Ream, and if you follow me there, and you comment on my latest post with your guess on what kink/pairing i'm writing, and you get it right, you'll get to read it without any monthly payments

My author hot take of the day is that everyone needs to read at least one spicy sapphic book that focuses on consent. bonus points if it's kinky and follows PRICK/RACK guidelines 👀

Random PSA (consequence of the book i am reading): no, hockey is not the most popular sport in Spain, but i can 100% guarantee that "the locals" know what it is? (we even have a national team?) i didn't know we needed to clear that up, but... here we are

Maturing is becoming best friends with the unfriend button when it comes to online interactions, but holding accountable and learning to be held accountable when it comes to "real life"/in person ones.

Worthy is now live! 🩷 sapphic BDSM/kink (hello, shibari and suspension bondage!) 🩷 stone top/pillow princess (but the pillow princess is actually a switch and there are discussions around ENM) 🩷 butch/femme (it's my first published butch/femme book!) (cont.)

I could go on a very long thread about those "conservative MM authors" and the "Book Lovers for Trump" group. However, i could also remind you that (a) the best way to drive those people away is to support the authors who position themselves very vocally as the opposite of that

One day left, and these posts aren't getting any traction, because social media, but i guess i'm committed now, so we'll just keep going mybook.to/WorthyPU

2 days left! Have you added Worthy to your TBR? It's free! (someone please help me. i don't know what i'm doing anymore)

3 days left!! this is not a call for all the "marketers" out there, but if someone wanted to just start posting and sharing and promoting Worthy for me so i can go back to my usual schedule of chaotic posting, that would be great 😇 mybook.to/WorthyPU

You know the thing that's radicalizing me the most this 2025? The amount of authors/readers I'm unfriending/unfollowing for taking "both sides" approaches and "high moral ground" BS.

You actually *can* celebrate someone's death, and it doesn't make you morally inferior to those who don't ✨ Thanks for coming to my TED talk

5 days left! Did you know you don't actually have to wait and you can read it via Ream for the same price? 🥰 ( Amazon: mybook.to/WorthyPU Ream: reamstories.com/emilyalter )

6 days left until Worthy goes live! Now let's see if Threads actually gives a fuck and lets people hear about it 🙃

I'm just an author begging for social media apps that aren't owned by fascists to actually have reach

If books aren't political why do so many of us get shadow banned from fascist apps even when we focus our content on those silly romance books that are not at all, ever, political? 😇

Being cringe is fun and i'm taking no questions at this time

It's my birthday!! wanna buy my books? 🥺🩷 🌈📚

You want a confession? even if i *understand*, every time i see a marketing post that makes a big emphasis on how their Daddy kink book has no age play, a part of me dies a little inside (pun not intended, but i'm running with it now)

Surprising absolutely no one, my birthday is two days away, and i am having an identity crisis, and remembering i haven't planned out any marketing special/whatever thingy for it

Sometimes, writing is all about telling the story in your head. Other times, it's about being really, really petty i don't make the rules

Today i'm going to be mushier than usual and point out how absolutely grateful i am for all the readers who review and repost and share all the posts and things because word of mouth is so important but even if it wasn't, it just makes me feel so warm and cozy inside

Thinking back to the teacher who was addicted to ChatGPT but she tried to get me on her side bc "it's just an aid, and of course you have to contrast what it says, and edit it, and it doesn't replace anything" but the second ChatGPT did not work, she suddenly didn't know how to do a single thing

So what does one need to do around here to get you to read kinky books that follow PRICK and RACK guidelines and they're all as queer as they can get? 😇

Sometimes i really wish we authors could talk more about the books we read. But then i think of what a headache it would be, so i'm mostly fine BUT. y'know?

Did i mention here that i'm doing a new thing with my newsletter and it means that subscribers are getting character studies, first looks at Worthy, exclusive spicy teasers, and more? 🌈📚 And you can still get it all if you subscribe now 🩷 sendfox.com/alteremily

Look, if you preorder Worthy (or if you read it early through Ream for the same price), it means i can get character art without feeling guilty, and then you get the spicy art, and we all win Yes? 🌈📚

Hii ! There's a sale book blast going on at www.yearofqueerlit.com and one of my books is in it !

We can follow PRICK guidelines (my favorite ones!), while still accepting that sometimes, harm does fall on one party pretty exclusively, and we can get dangerously close to victim blaming if we ignore that

My take on author cliques (am i too late for this?) is that i've always found it very weird when people shit on them? like...i'd love to have a small group of bestie authors where we hyped up each other and were super close and clicked and had the same values 🥺

Sometimes a kinky bookworm just needs to get a good squirting scene in their sapphic book ✨

Every now and then I just want to point out that we need more PRICK and RACK guidelines in kinky books

HiiiI! Chaotic (but very important announcement): There's a pro-Palestine anthology, and i'm one of the 50+ authors who will be participating and bringing you exclusive content that's all about the coziness that comes from dynamics who have already gotten their HEAs!

I'm going to be extra annoying this month, but i had to move a release and that affects the bottom line, so it would be really cool if you went and binge read the books in my current universe 🌈📚

"Stop writing the one bed trope" Okay, fine, there's only one BDSM club in town and when she has a panic attack, the only DM around to help is her boss 🌈📚

In social psychology (and many other fields), when we observe that certain behaviors reoccur in a specific context, we do study and question the conditions that context creates to fester those behaviors. 🧵 (1/2)

On today's episode of Ems did a scary thing and they want praise, i got back on schedule, and i have sent all the follow-up emails i had to send

I know there's a reason why people don't do it, but it would be very helpful if everyone (PAs, editors, so on) was open about their stance on political shit 🧵 (1/2)

One day, i'll learn to start listing the kinks i include in a book as i write them, instead of waiting until the book is done and hoping that i'm not forgetting anything ** more people read through it before publication and i ask them to point out if i've missed any, but the anxiety is still real
