Over on my Instagram people voted for what they wanted to see in celebration of my debut reaching 100 adds on Goodreads…and the winner was the first vs final opening! So here’s my cringy opening compared to the final—and a few other variations that existed along the way.

🖤 it's time to reveal the cover of Black As Diamond~! Black As Diamond is a dark fantasy about breaking a curse, finding yourself—and complicated relationships with mothers. learn more here: nebulouswrites.com#books (art by christian chang & design by charlotte strick)

If you hate everyone, eat a snack. If you think everyone hates you, take a nap. If you hate yourself, take a shower. If you hate your book, maybe it's time for an editing break 💙👀

This sounds super scary & yes part of it IS, but not ALL books print overseas—ONLY 4 color books. & publishers aren’t passively accepting tariffs. They’re doing all they can to minimize the costs on anything that does ship from China. So yes it’s scary & bad, but authors shouldn’t feel hopeless!

Submissions are OPEN!! If you’re a new/emerging aromantic author of YA fiction, @madelinedyer.bsky.social and I would love to see you in the inbox! Full submission guidelines here: madelinedyer.co.uk/call-for-sub...

Working in publishing is forgetting the word “BISAC” & being so annoyed bc no it’s not “keywords,” it’s the other thing…WHICH I SHOULD KNOW. Luckily I remembered a few minutes later but oof that was annoying. Like pre-google days bc I couldn’t even figure out what to search to help me remember 😆

And with that, the draft of my new YA romcom is done—phew! 92k words in a month (I mean, *close* to a month. Technically started 1/31 & February was short…but hey! Math is for my day job). My brain is a bit 🫠 but I’m happy to have it down on paper! 1/4 #amwriting #author #writingcommunity #writing

Me with like, both main characters in my debut book oops…One particular unintentional character trait was a whole ~thing~ Maybe I’ll talk more about it one day but it took an author friend being like “is this character…?” and me being like “um he wasn’t supposed to be but I guess he is…?”

My debut is on this list! An ace/aro YA romcom that’s You’ve Got Mail meets Loveless! 💜🤍🖤🩶💚🏳️‍🌈 #author #writingcommunity

1:30am is NOT the time to be coming up with new WIP ideas, especially when I’m taking a three day weekend to finish the draft of my current ms which will be presented to my editor as a potential book two…and yet here we are. 🙃 #writingcommunity #amwriting #author #writing
