Great thread from Gretchen about the realities of being a working writer, which I know all too well... (And also a great time to support Gretchen and Lauren and the podcast team!)

I think with the level of venom with which AI proponents have treated artists, writers, musicians, whole creative industries, they deserve at the very least to have that venom met in kind, and I hope it stings. I'm only sorry it hasn't happened sooner. Party's over, enjoy the hangover.

have had the loveliest time this past week working on an adaptation of my picture book Quacks Like a Duck (art by Maria Lebedeva) - such a fun world to hang out in. I hope I get to spend more time in the town of Bougainvillea! Plus I got to name a chameleon-owned movie theatre the Chameleodeon!

You know, rather than watch that one show...maybe go read something new. Here's a list of 246 genre (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc.) books written by trans/nonbinary/genderqueer/gender nonconforming authors featuring similarly identified characters. Go, go, go! www.goodreads.com/list/show/93...

Hey did you know I wrote some novels about queer kids solving supernatural mysteries at their haunted boarding school? Because I did.

Have a library card? You can read The Unfinished Business free via the @hoopladigital.bsky.social app!

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

Sample for something written and sent!

I keep being approached to write ad campaigns when you could be approaching me to write books and scripts

From a formidable talent in Brazilian fiction comes a lyrically rich & devastating novel about the kidnapping of Indigenous children, the story of a Miranha girl, and the young woman in the modern day who stumbles across a sketch of her in a museum THE JAGUAR'S ROAR by Micheliny Verunschk - 02.07.26

My book was targeted for "strongly" promoting "gender equality” and “following one’s dreams”. Oh no! If you want to rebel against the sad dream haters (and if you like children’s books about joy and love and dance)....

(why yes, I do have a middle grade series out in Germany)

"For a book with so many deaths (a funeral director is involved, after all) it was a surprisingly delightful read." US friends, FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL DIRECTOR, by me, writing as Hazel Graves, is in shops next month! www.harpercollins.com/products/fou...

these came out in Dec 2023 and Dec 2024, but it feels like a lifetime ago

Two fictional characters from different universes you want to see fight (this would make such a good crossover)

I can't recall a time when more talented reporters and writers on movies and culture who have real skill and knowledge are struggling to find a foothold. We live in an "Everyone's an expert" era. But everyone isn't. Editors: Please take a chance on folks you haven't tried before. Read their clips!

But I was told Hollywood was cooked... finance.yahoo.com/sectors/tech...

Only way I can describe S2 of Deadloch is to say that it contains more creative uses of the c-word than an interview with BOTH Gallagher brothers from Oasis (complimentary, weirdly??!!). Anyway it remains Deadloch & I love my chaotic Australian murder queers & all performances remain outstanding! 🐊🔥

wrote a pilot :)

A fabulous review for @shastagrant.bsky.social 's WHEN WE WERE FERAL from @publisherswkly.bsky.social ! Congrats, Shasta! @ipgbook.bsky.social

I know breaking news is hard but I've several articles about the crash at LGA yesterday/today and none mentioned the persistent understaffing of air traffic control, and the absolute chaos the trump administration added to the system in the past year.

if any editors or fellow creators need some covers drawn, im looking to take on more cover work. had some work fall through, still trying to save up and move out of here ASAP. i also have a ko-fi if anyone is feeling generous, but times are hard for everyone right now

putting together a bible for a Quacks Like a Duck tv adaptation (it's called Petunia and it's delightful) and realising that now I have everything I need to pitch it as a chapter book series, too 🤔
