BSFA members! voting officially closes tomorrow and I would love it if you considered voting for UNTIL WE SHATTER!

fuck modal verbs specifically

Here’s the pitch: They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident! It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY! Need a title.

"why are you so dramatic?" because back in the 90's even the love songs told us to bleed just to know we're alive

annual watch reminder that owen hunt is the worst

there's a certain magic to spending all day frustrated about your lack of progress only to realise that actually you really like the work you did and it was worth the time

the zero draft of my first adult project is officially done. this is the book i changed agents with (on a 16k partial) and since jan 1st, i've added 49k of zero draft to get to the end of the book, ready for cleanup. and 16 of those days were also spent editing a different book. i am so very tired

So overjoyed to share this cover with you all!! I’m so thrilled with beautiful this @marymetzgr.bsky.social art. I hope you all join me on this tragic sapphic adventure through the fens! Coming Sept 30. Preorders open now. Design: Christine Foltzer Musical inspiration: @gealdyr

attempting to shave 5-ish months off my usual turnaround for a full manuscript is a choice i have made

some unexpected non deadline related news––UNTIL WE SHATTER has been longlisted for a BSFA award!!!! 😭😭😭

i hear we like queer books - may i present my homework, it's full of the messiest bisexuals to walk the earth

i made an official graphic because i can't help myself @rachelneely.bsky.social ;)

surprise announcement! i've joined the amazing @rachelneely.bsky.social at Mushens Entertainment and we are currently conspiring to do some big things! 👀 Rachel is already such an incredible advocate for my work––i couldn't be more excited about this next stage in my career!

SO excited to welcome @thekatedylan.bsky.social to the Mushens Entertainment family!!! 🤩 Kate’s YA/crossover fantasy debut, #UntilWeShatter, was a smash hit, reaching #5 on the Sunday Times bestsellers list last year. She is now hard at work on a sequel AND her brilliant adult fantasy debut! 📚

january is coming to an end, so i think the sales will be ending to, so now the perfect time to treat yourself to a bargain. god knows you deserve it! she's super cheap at waterstones: bit.ly/UWS_WS and cheap and signed at forbidden planet: bit.ly/4jwo8Y5

i'm currently 70.5k done with line edits on a (currently) 96.8k long book, i have one more new chapter to go and a couple more finicky amends to make and between 7-11 days to do to it in and proof the rest (i can hand in anytime the week of the 3rd) it's very doable but boy it feels like a mountain

uk friends: i would be forever grateful for any and all reviews on the big river site for UNTIL WE SHATTER. even just a few words makes a huge difference ❤️ leave one now: amzn.to/3wIpPOe

luck is the one thing you both absolutely need and cannot control in order to succeed in publishing. but hard work is what opens the door for that luck to be able to lead to success

still on deep sale, friends. get her while she's only a tenner! ▶️ bit.ly/UWS_WS

fun fact! the @illumicrate.bsky.social version of UNTIL WE SHATTER has a secret chapter at the end! so if you want to see this scene from the LI's POV, flip to the back of the book friends ;)

until we shatter is on deep sale, friends. get her while she's cheap! (she's always hot) get her get her get her ▶️ bit.ly/UWS_WS

my favourite part of binge watching a long running series is realising how after 4-5 seasons, they just start reusing actors in bit roles and hoping no one will notice

#BookReview: UNTIL WE SHATTER by Kate Dylan @thekatedylan.bsky.social @hodderscape.bsky.social #UKYA sifaelizabethreads.wordpress.com/2024/12/20/b...

a twilight reboot but she plays both parts

Friends, this is the most exciting and special thing for a baby new writer and her book. Look at this GLORIOUS edition from @inkstonebooks.bsky.social and Orbit books. If you’re not a subscriber, there will be a wait list for any extra copies. The foil on the boards, the spredges. 🤩 I am so lucky.

apparently my writing motto is: give me semi colons or give me death

it is a truth universally acknowledged that a stretch of good writing days will be followed by a day that makes you want to set a fire

accountability thread! i have 46 days to clean up ~100k of book today was day 1, and i knocked out the prologue and chapter 1, for about 4.35k words total currently pretty burned out so going to try for slow and steady instead of flaming out after a few days

when you realise you have a type and that type is 'face is sharp as a knife from the side'
