List of arts orgs that have lost their National Endowment for the Arts funding, including the small press I work for in my day job. $2.8 million in funding. A small drop in bucket for the federal govt overall budget, but a devastating amount for these arts orgs. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

If you're a writer, research & write stories about anti-fascist resistance. If you're a game designer, make games about resistance. If you're a teacher, teach about the history of resistance. Every culture worker alive right now has a pressing responsibility to do this. Our lives depend on it

Thanks to @slj.com and @amandamacgregor.bsky.social for including Georgia Watson and the 99 Percent Campaign in the Take Five series! @regalhouse.bsky.social

I turned 21 in 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic, and I have not known peace in my adulthood since 😭

I don’t understand why HarperCollins refused to join other major publishers and sign the letter to Congress in support of IMLS. So, I wrote a letter to HarperCollins. Libraries and librarians need our support. Authors and industry professionals, please sign this letter using this form. 👇 🙏 📚

PRIDE OR DIE IS ✨OUT✨ NOW! four years ago I wrote a chaotic gay mystery with zero hopes in my heart—only the desire to make something that would’ve brought me joy as a teen. all I can think right now is just how grateful I am for all of you. love y’all and hope the book brings you a smile or two 💕

Thank you to Teen Librarian Toolbox for featuring books from four of our authors in their Take Five series! #MGEscapades #MiddleGradeBooks

February Reads! March reads will be way less since I got an edit letter yesterday. One of my fav reads this month was the unpublished journal of a man who walked the Camino and shared with me by his daughter, a librarian who sponsored me for a school visit. Happy reading! #readingwrapup

Been so busy lately getting to work on pages of new things that I love but wanted to be sure to say that publishing is rarely overnight success and a lot of working your ass off. Be proud of yourself no matter where you’re at. You’re doing the thing, boo, and are amazing 💛

A DEADLY ENDEAVOR is Anthony Award-Eligible in two categories: Best First Novel and Best Historical! I'd be honored for your nominations. #crimefiction #mysterywriters #historicalmysteries #debutauthor
