#amquerying #writingcommunity, Round Table Mentor apps are now open! I cannot wait to read your manuscripts 😍

The only spell I have against hopelessness at the moment is to help community. So if you would like to support Marylanders in need (we have so many federal workers) here's my MD Food Bank fundraiser mdfoodbank.funraise.org/fundraiser/a...

✨ COMMISSIONS OPEN (kind of!) I’m auctioning a rare #commission spot for @geekgirlcon ‘s virtual silent auction! GGC is a nonprofit, 100% volunteer-run convention in Seattle that has been a safe space for marginalized fandom folks for the past 10+ years. ➡️visit givebutter.com/c/KKmh5b/auc...

Are you a marginalized author (or the editor/agent/publicist of one) who has a trad pub book coming out in 2026 that is science fiction, fantasy, or horror and either adult or young adult? This book critic wants to know about it! Small press strongly encouraged. bookjockeyalex.com/contact/

Today’s the day! Have a question about the program, application process, or our mentors? Ask it below! #writingmentorship #roundtablementor #writingcommunity

Agents!!! I was soooo lucky to mentor Taylor and read this beautiful, genre-bendy book!!!

*FRANKENSTEIN SPOILERS * As someone who teaches frankenstein every year, I had SO many thoughts about this film. I am a fan of GTD’s movies. Loved the nested doll structure and how freaky Elizabeth was. Loved the costumes, acting, and music Was very ? about the time period shift by 50 years+

Happy Ace Week :)

Scholars of eighteenth-century topics: consider submitting your work to *Digital Defoe*. We publish essays on Defoe, but also on his "contemporaries," which we're inclined to interpret broadly. More info here: call-for-papers.sas.upenn.edu/cfp/2025/10/...

#amquerying writers, here it is!!! a guide to writing that dreaded synopsis 💗 #writingcommunity open.substack.com/pub/lillyluw...

A Southern inheritance is always dark—whether it's a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra spurns them all, but when her dad disappears, she must choose which monsters to slay, and which to become. #QuestPit #YA #H #T

BLADE RUNNER x THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER 👩‍💻Lonely teenage hacker 🤖Mysterious android boy ❤️‍🔥Slow-burn romance 🩸Powerful mega-corporations 🌃A sprawling city 🔎Scavenger hunt for computer chips that hold the answer to a murder… and maybe immortality, too. #questpit #Q #YA #SF #MY

ADDIE LARUE x TVD - vampires hiding their fangs - a lost god searching for identity - power-hungry gangs and dubious detectives - morally grey protagonist - regretting (?) what you wished for - realising what you truly are - in the speculative underbelly of Taipei #QuestPit #Q #A #F #UF

Birdie has been falling into a cold darkness since she was a child. The only person who can pull her back is her best friend, Lennon. When the two summon a trickster god, they unknowingly tangle the invisible threads of all three. #questpit #q #rf #a

Look at this new work of art I made yesterday. 😂 One thing that often happens is people get very confused about what is wuxia, xianxia, and xuanhuan due to lack of understanding about the terms. So I made this venn diagram to help. 😂

Would it be helpful for #amquerying writers to see a blogpost how-to on the dreaded synopsis?

Happy to announce that my adult fantasy novels are now repped by @palindrometodd.bsky.social!After all I’ve been through in this industry, it’s lovely to have an agent whose vision & faith make me excited to dive back in & fight for my gaysian characters 🏳️‍🌈🥳 Can’t wait to see what we do together!

Can’t believe three years ago I was crying everyday about Wangxian (The Untamed) and now I am on a fan studies panel moderated by Henry Jenkins, like what is my life???

So excited for what’s next!!! ❤️❤️❤️ @lillyluwrites.bsky.social Thank you so much for you kind words for my story! February is off to an amazing start 🙌🏽 🥰

Super excited to be mentoring @taylorkowens.bsky.social and her riveting horror romance, THE CURE FOR DESTINY! 💗🥳
