Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent. Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado. One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

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/

Y’all, I’m watching Beyond Skinwalker Ranch and I had an #MSWL thought: rival ufologists a la Skinwalker Ranch Travis and Ancient Aliens Giorgio but make it cozy and queer.

This book remains lodged in my psyche. In a monumental career, this is one of Walton's best. Two timelines of a life collide in exquisite ways. If you dug IN UNIVERSES, you've got to read MY REAL CHILDREN.

The reason I talk about the limbic system in creative writing classes is nothing beats the limbic system once it’s activated. Not evidence, not logic Sensory detail—a vital part of storytelling & survival—activates the hippocampus, which is part of this system you do not forget these stories

Are you an author of speculative fiction and eager to talk about your wondrous creations to a live (and - mostly - living) audience?

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

Writers - the scam predators are changing up their tactics. If you don't follow Victoria Strauss and Writer Beware, why on earth not?

“Seasons of Glass and Iron” is one of my most favorite stories. I can’t wait for this collection!

Thanks, as always, to amazing KGB Fantastic Fiction reading series & our awesome hosts! Loved reading beside beloved @shvetathakrar.com! My impassioned tale of spectral vengeance, "Frau Perchta Comes for the Count", is featured in this Castle of Horror anthology: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Scam alert: there's an IngramSpark impersonator at ingramsparkbookpublishers dot com. Part of a wave of publishing/ghostwriting scams from Pakistan that hijack authors looking to self-publish--they often "borrow" well-known publisher names but this one also "borrows" the real IngramSpark's logo

Hey guess what? My 2023 novelette "Here Instead Of There" is available at @escapepod.org in two parts! It's about ethics, meteorology, crony capitalism, and some courageous dirtbags. escapepod.org/2025/10/02/e... escapepod.org/2025/10/09/e...

A superbly creepy yet truly moving slasher that rivals Fracassi’s best work.

This is my author, one of the kindest people you will ever meet! Give him a follow and buy our book, GO-MAN! It’s out now. ❤️💛💙

Calling Netflix 1-866-952-4456 to say "I've been a customer since before 2012 [1] and if Netflix starts removing shows with trans and queer characters from its programming I will cancel my subscription" took me maybe two minutes.

Random late night book rec: Strange the Dreamer by @lainitaylor.bsky.social. Beautifully written. Cool worldbuilding. I read it in 2021, and I still think about it. #booksky

I have openings in my editing schedule. I do primarily developmental edits of novels and novellas. More info here: www.kathowardbooks.com/editing and I'm always happy to answer questions.

Publishing Professionals Against Book Bans (PPABB), a new resource-sharing community affiliated with Authors Against Book Bans (AABB) and geared toward industry professionals, will host its first virtual town hall on October 28

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch. I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

@lorepodcast.bsky.social hi! I’ve loved this show for years and decided to relisten from the beginning, but all the old episodes went away. What happened?

I can't believe this!! Thank you! Absolutely love it!

A very lovely review, focussing on the autism representation in the book. Very excited to development these themes in future books!

GO-MAN: CHAMPION OF EARTH is available to preorder wherever you get your comics or via the link in my bio! This is a middle-grade superhero book with themes of friendship and self-belief with an autistic lead! Volume 1 is out August 26th! #comic #autismawareness #autism

Can't get enough of these AI gross-out stories, and this one is great! Isabel J. Kim in Clarkesworld: clarkesworldmagazine.com/kim_10_25/

Just in time to get into the Halloween spirit, I’m teaching a horror writing class with Queens Collaboratory. If you’re in NYC and want to dip your toes into writing horror, this the place to do it. Tickets are $20-$25, and spots are pretty limited. luma.com/9pzyg2tm

Hey authors! If your first novel came out in the onslaught that was 2020, please share it here. Tell us the title and at least one cool thing about it, plus give us a link to learn more and buy it.

This is today. It's not too late to register!

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

Hey @pfracassi.bsky.social fans - we’ve got a treat for you! We just recorded a 2-hour special episode looking at several of his recent books, including THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT MASSACRE. Then we did 30 mins for Patreon discussing the scariest stuff that’s ever happened to him Coming soon

BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER by @sgj.bsky.social is an outstanding novel, repeatedly blowing my mind. I listened to the audiobook, often having to stop in my tracks on my walks through the country, staring at the sky, shocked, gripped. Immersive, violent, angry, funny, mournful. It never flinches. NEVER.

Karen Memory is alive and well in 1872! With Annie Oakley and a surprise guest star that has led to more than one person DMing me to say "I WAS NOT EXPECTING [not the Spanish Inquisition]!!" Order from your local bookstore or from here: books2read.com/b/angelmaker

If you don't feel like yourself today, choose a disguise to wear into the world: - forlorn tugboat captain - unemployed rock bassist - librarian of darkness - moss witch - slightly sexy shrub - large boulder the size of a small boulder

The Dresden Files. I picked up the books after I discovered the show.
