I have to show off this new art by Killerlaurent on Instagram from my book, You Left Me the Stars. These are THE vibes #art #noai #author #fantasy #books #writer #sapphic #queer #animals

This new art of Atariel and Scorpio by @valeriokkai from my book You Left Me the Stars is making me laugh so hard #Writer #Book #Fantasy #Author #Art #NoAI

This new art of Xana and Atariel from my book You Left Me the Stars done by @valeriokkai feels like it should be illegal. #Writer #Sapphic #Fantasy #Queer #Book #Author #Art #noai

A weird thing I've noticed is that in books, MCs almost always fall into the "stress makes them unable to eat" camp, and as a professional stress eater, I'm tired of it. Anyway my MC raids the pantry for anything sweet the night before the final confrontation.

I'm am begging, BEGGING bisexual women in relationships with men to not center themselves in every conversation about queer representation. We know you're queer, but not everything has to be about you. (I say this as a bisexual woman)

Y'all LOOK at this amazing new art of Atariel that I commissioned from @silverpeel.bsky.social #sapphic #author #art #fantasy #book

Eee my author website is launching today! www.authoryuliyamihalik.com

I wish I could ask for Queer Fantasy books and get as many Sapphic recommendations as I do Achillean and Bi M/F

Ahhh look at this new art of Xana and Atariel from You Left Me the Stars! Can't you just feel the gay panic? (Thank you sosososo much to killerlaurent on IG for making this incredible art) #Sapphic #Sapphicart #Sapphicfantasy #CharacterArt #FantasyAuthor

Can authors STOP using "male" and "female" excessively?? No one is confused if you refer to an elf/fae/whatever as a man or woman, or, better yet, not with gendered terms at all!

This is my hot take: "Let people read what they want" should apply to GENRES, NOT specific authors/books. I'll never say anything about someone reading a genre I don't enjoy, but if you keep reading books written by racists/queerphobes/etc I'm going to assume you're also racist/queerphobic/etc

I feel like this is the closest thing to a universal sapphic experience. If you feel personally attacked, you might be interested in my book, You Left Me the Stars. (Artist credit to killerlaurent on IG) #Sapphicfantasy #Queerfantasy #Author #Writing #Sapphic #Queer

Hey friends! I’m organizing a #queer #stuffyourkindle day to celebrate queer representation in the coming new year!

I ned to start challenging myself to start messages with something other than "Honestly," "Also," and "I'm just like." 😅

What's the worst thing to handwash and why is it colanders?

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

Okay but is there anything better than beta readers who GET you? 🥰 #writer #betareaders #author #fantasy #fiction #queer
