Sometimes i feel like a broken record but 🔥 reading is political and everything is political. saying "this isn't about politics, it's about morality" or any such phrasing is not a flex and only panders to the right. morality is also political

One thing about my books is that all my characters vote all the way to the left and, even though most of them aren't in the US, they all understand that liberals and leftists are not in-fighting because liberals are nowhere near the left.

Just hopping in to bring some attention to the fact that right now most of my backlist is wide and you can request it to your libraries (in digital format, still figuring out paperback distribution), and it would be very cool if i got more wide sales before the end of the month 🩷🩷

You know that meme/song that went viral a while back? The "i don't really wanna do the work today" one? That's me with marketing right now 😭

Announcement for everyone still insisting about peaceful/non-violent resistance (as the only valid response and form of activism): the few examples you may find of nonviolent resistance that have worked have the radical flank effect to thank for it.

So how do we feel about kinky books with all the queer rep? 😇🥵

There are two wolves inside of me: One wants to write the spiciest, smuttiest books that also pack all the feelings The other one wants to dump all the politics and shit that society desperately needs to stop ignoring The other wolf might be getting louder with my upcoming releases 🔥

Let this be your regular reminder that kink does not equal abuse, and kink can and does exist in bookish spaces outside of dark romance and, most importantly, real life people engage in kink following PRICK/RACK guidelines, and i feel like sometimes the discourse in bookish spaces forgets that part

I just wanna say thank you to the people who have preordered Ev's book already, and even more so the ones who preordered it before New Pack Code was out, and before there was even a blurb posted anywhere. He loves you all and is almost as emotional as i am

Okay but i feel it's been a while since i've mentioned i'm going wide, and most of my books are actually wide now and it's a lot to market on top of my new releases and everything else...

HIIIIIIIIIII IT ME Did you know i wrote 4 trans main characters who are kinky and role-play as if gender markers (A/B/O) were a thing, and i thought it's the closest i've written to a slow burn (yes, i know), but apparently, it's not (reader feedback)? Make of that information what you will 😇

Look, i love new release time, and i love having the excuse to be really loud about my books, but it's also a struggle when i want to talk about other stuff, and the mini marketing manager in my head is telling me to stop it 😭

🔥 Trans romance can and should be disruptive of all norms 🔥 Kink is more fun when your support network is as kinky as you are 🔥 Queer books deserve the spotlight

What do you mean I've just released a book with four trans main characters and they role-play as omegaverse roles for fun? (And one of them is really into puppy gear)

I should be talking about my release yesterday, BUT @alexlabruyere.bsky.social also had a release on Monday, and i want to share the love, so...

🏳️‍⚧️ RELEASE DAY HAS ARRIVED 🏳️‍⚧️ New Pack Code is the book you didn't know you needed—four trans main characters, all of them into omegaverse, starts out as an online relationship, and ends up with the biggest character growth for some of them (and it's hot. really hot) books2read.com/NewPackCode

Happy "today is the day i can finally watch Heated Rivalry, but apparently the fandom has become a cesspool for cishets now" to those who celebrate (me) 😭

What do you mean you can read all my books early with a Ream subscription, and it can cost you the same as buying the ebook from the overlords? Read early > reamstories.com/emilyalter Preorder > books2read.com/NewPackCode

No one talks about the stress that comes with rechecking a thousand times every time you write "T4T4T4T" to make sure that you're neither missing a T nor adding an extra one 😭 (They're four people, all of them trans)

From the creator responsible for "how is it tentacle sex if it's contemporary?", i present to you the (likely) upcoming, "how is it omegaverse if, again, it's contemporary?" (The answer to both questions is role-play and monster dildos, btw)

It's the first of the month, and I don't know if this is still a thing, but I'm doing it anyway: 🏳️‍🌈 BDSM/kink that follows PRICK/RACK guidelines is superior 🏳️‍⚧️ Queer is a sociopolitical identity, and queer romance includes sapphic romance, too 🏳️‍🌈 The genocide is still ongoing (1/2)

I think I should get a reward on how consistent I've been this month when it comes to posting about my books/book-related stuff And on that note, New Pack Code is the T4T shenanigans you didn't know you needed in your life, and it comes out February 9th!

Just popping by to remind you that New Pack Code is available for preorder on Amazon and you can also read it early (for the same price, even) with a Ream subscription! 🏳️‍⚧️ Amazon > books2read.com/NewPackCode Ream > reamstories.com/emilyalter

Where are all the polyam books that are NOT closed triads (and they're not my books)? 👀

Unfortunately, the time has come for me to become annoying and start pestering all of you about New Pack Code and getting you to preorder it (or read it early through Ream), because who doesn't need FOUR trans sapphics making shit work in 2026??

Genuine question from an author who's been immersed (against my will) in the Amazon ecosystem for way too long... how/where does one connect with other wide authors?

Okay, I know there's lots of (valid) talk about Kobo's UI when it comes to their listings, but one thing I have to say, is that the very day I published WWD there, when I searched "Wrestling with Daddy Emily Alter", it was the first result, and that has never once happened to me on Amazon

I'd like to start a petition so that this year becomes the one when we all agree that kinky books deserve all the love 🩷

Just saying, but if one of your goals for 2026 wasn't to give Kobo+ a chance... I don't know, it seems like a good bookish goal to have 👀

New Pack Code is 342 pages long, so this is from page 36. (And you can read more about Cece's puppy persona on Ream. Or preorder it from Amazon before it goes live February 9th if you prefer that) #WriteSky #BookSky

Sapphic authors, i need your help!! I need recs for PAs, marketing services, and so on, that have *worked* for you. Please 🙏

Surprising absolutely no one, my pretty planner for the year has lots of pretty art, but is it helping? ... well it has pretty art

Someone better than me would be more on top of announcing every time a book is leaving KU and going wide IN MY DEFENSE, i gave NL subscribers the dates, but of course most of my books ended their KU cycle this month, and there's only too much marketing i can handle (send helps)

What are the best places to find wide readers? Asking for a chaotic author who's putting so many of my books there this month because most happened to end their current KU cycle in January, but that means i can't possibly promote them all properly and i'm drowning in the most melodramatic fashion

#QueerPrompts The main characters in New Pack Code? Discord server 🏳️‍⚧️🎮

Sure, it's fine, i just have to juggle editing two books and writing another this month. it's all fine, and the world isn't burning 😂

Hi, it's me! I'm rearing up to send a bunch of newsletters with all kind of bonus content and insights into New Pack Code (my kinky T4T polyam book that includes omegaverse dynamics without the actual roles), so this is your reminder to subscribe to my NL! sendfox.com/alteremily

🏳️‍⚧️ New Pack Code (available for preorder) - Cece: complex grief/trauma - Rox: blowing up / realizing there was a market for trans-friendly sapphic omegaverse out there - Viola: meeting Rox - Dixie: being accepted into the pack even though they didn't feel/act quite like the others #QueerPrompts

📚 Coiled Tight, an achillean romance mybook.to/CoiledTight

#pretendpanel I've definitely leaned more on kink, and queerness, and all the things that make my characters feel more authentic to me. Switching from 3rd to 1st POV was also a big thing (for the better) #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

Accomplished in 2025: 🩷 Attended my first international signing 🩷 Got new Ream subscribers 🩷 Published 4 full-length books To accomplish in 2026: 🔥 Sell and market wide 🔥 Find more authors to connect with 🔥 Become someone's fav book of the month #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#Smutcember Honestly, I don't care about setting super strict distinctions, but for whatever it's worth... - When I think of porn, I think video. - Smut is a more... algorithm-friendly way to refer to any sexual/suggestive content (1/2)

#Smutcember Anatomical terms and "mainstream terms" to refer to body parts (are "pussy/cunt/dick/cock" considered synonyms or euphemisms?) 😅 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I don't know why I do this to myself, but I'd say Melchom is the one who is begrudgingly forced to believe in fate... but it's pretty hard not to, when you're surrounded by prophecies that keep becoming reality whether he likes it or not

📘: Gift for a Demon, a paranormal achillean romance

Honestly, this might be a bit controversial, but on top of the usual "write what *you* find hot" (which is really good advice!), I'd say to get as much experience (or as close to it as you can get) on whatever you're writing. (1/3) #SmutCember #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

📚: Coiled Tight by Emily Alter, an achillean romance set in a wild animal sanctuary between a hermit Daddy and a boy who doesn't believe a happy ending is something he deserves. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

The main plan is to finish the epilogue for my current WIP and start self-editing (I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS BOOK TO HIT THE SHELVES). After that, I'll write some more content for Ream, film some content, and unrelated to writing, do some baking 🥺 #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters
