Just finished the first book on my #queerscifi February TBR: Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell. I loved the protagonists, especially Jainan’s character arc. The arranged marriage and miscommunication tropes were handled really well. #queerbooks #queereditors #queerwriters

I've made decent progress on 3 books on my February #queerscifi TBR. I'm a third into The Galaxy, and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers. It’s great to be back in the world of the Wayfarers series. I’m loving this instalment so far, and expecting to love it even more as the story progresses!

#writingtips Repetition is usually frowned upon. But the verb “say” has become invisible to readers, so using it often in dialogue tags isn’t a problem. In fact, fancy verbs can have the opposite effect: they draw attention to themselves instead of disappearing to let the dialogue shine. 1/4

Help a trans author pay rent!

unfortunately my second book launched immediately before I was sent to the mental hospital which means I wasn't really able to follow up on giving it momentum. if you've connected with my poetry, especially my trans poetry, consider picking up my newest collection!

In the #WritingCommunity, diversity is our strength. Uplift queer and trans authors, writers of color, disabled storytellers and neurodivergent voices. Publishing still favors the same few; let's disrupt that and share stories that mirror the richness of our world.

To completely end my January reading wrap up, the eighth book I finished was The Lonely Skier, by Hammond Innes. Post-WWII intrigue with an interesting premise. A screenplay writer is sent under false pretences to spy on the guests of a ski resort. #booksky #queereditors #writesky

The seventh book of the month was a pretty quick read: Merry & Sprite, by Dani Lakely. A queer grumpy/sunshine pairing in a small town that loves puns and a little bit of magic. Now reading The Lonely Skier, by Hammond Innes. #queerbooksky #booksky #queereditors #queerwriters

I'm pretty pleased with my reading progress this month. Just finished the sixth book on my TBR. The Winter Spirits: Ghostly Tales for Frosty Nights A collection of spooky winter tales with varied themes, voices, and concepts. #booksky #queerbooksky #writesky #queereditors

I finished the fifth book on my winter vibes TBR last night: Ledge, by Stacey McEwan. A fantasy romance with a compelling premise. That ending, though... I’ll have to read the sequel to see how I really feel about it. #booksky #writesky #queereditors #fantasyromance #fantasywriters

I want to talk about adverbs. Or more specifically, the writing advice that says 'Using adverbs is AGAINST THE RULES and means you're a bad writer.' It's not and it doesn't. It's an oversimplification. Let's talk sense. 1/

Taking a break to photograph the night sky or sunset is becoming a habit. The sky's doing pretty things. It's not my fault 🥰 Besides, we all need a nice creative break for inspiration. #writesky #queerwriters #queereditors #neurodivergentwriters #transwriters #selfcareforwriters

Fourth book finished from my January TBR: Murder on the Orient Express, by Agatha Christie. A classic cosy mystery. I especially liked the ending and the way Hercule Poirot presented the reveal. #booksky #writesky #queereditors #cosymystery

Since I've been making great progress on my January winter vibes TBR, I decided to add two bonus books: Merry & Sprite, by Dani Lakely The Lonely Skier, by Hammond Innes #writesky #queereditors #queerwriters #queerbooks #romancebooks #queerbooksky

Hey friends! So this thread is about my irl life more than usual but you'll understand why. At the end of September my partner and I took in a friend of ours -- another trans girl who has been struggling with housing for years. She needed another place to live and two close friends (a couple)

Oh Bluesky Hivemind, I have a library in need of a home. I have hundreds of LGBT books with a trans focus that I inherited from IFGE in Waltham when they closed. I'm moving and don't have space for them. They'd be great for an LGBT center or library. Who wants them? They're located in central Mass.

Trans in the Machine: Chronicling the New Cyberpunk Canon A first-of-its-kind book exploring transness in cyberpunk. Featuring interviews with @jessiegender.bsky.social & @tillybridges.bsky.social & insights from dozens of Trans+ creators. Crowdfunder launching 1 Feb. Sign up now! #Booksky 💙📚

Has anybody figured out a way to become immortal so I have any hope of finishing my ever-growing TBR? (Any vampire, wizard, ancient god, or scientist from the future out here on Bluesky?👀) #queerwriters #queereditors #booksky #writesky

New Blog! You want to publish your manuscript in 2026, but there's a roadblock: hiring an editor. So many are out of your budget or recently raised their rates. Here's why editing costs more than you'd think. And how you can save money during your #editing and publishing process.

Making good progress on my January winter vibes TBR. I finished Mistletoe Kisses, by Lee Blair: a small town queer romance with cosy vibes. It's really sweet, and especially relatable to people with anxiety. #queerbooksky #writesky #queereditors #queerwriters #queerbooks #romancebooks

Creativity for writers can be nurtured in many ways, not just reading. Taking care of your mind and body is a good start. Other types of media can inspire, and so can the world around you. Breaks aren't something to be earned; they're vital to your work. #queerwriters #writesky #writingcommunity

My goal in 2026 is to grow my freelance editing business, making it my career. But I can only do that with your help! Need an editor for a fantasy, LGBTQ+, or sci-fi story? DM me or visit ottersediting.com Not ready yet? Repost, save or share this. I believe in the power of community! #editing

This is terrifying. Support our #Trans neighbors. @edc01027.bsky.social @bookmoon.bsky.social @pvww.bsky.social @in-slwm.bsky.social

I'm having a clear out and have a pile of around 8 good trans related non-fiction books that I don't think my local charity shop will value. Is there anywhere, e.g. a trans community centre I can donate them to?
