This was such a beautiful essay by @eshanisurya.bsky.social 😍

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent. And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

I wrote about resisting MAHA and wellness culture with chronic illness rep in my book!!! Thanks @chicagorevbooks.bsky.social for publishing!!

Hugely grateful to @kellyluce.bsky.social for publishing this one in The Commuter!

Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.

Absolutely bowled over to see RAVISHING on here!!

Huge congratulations to our former flash editor @eshanisurya.bsky.social on her debut book RAVISHING!🎉

What a fantastic night at Books Are Magic to celebrate @eshanisurya.bsky.social & her stunning debut RAVISHING! I could have listened to @roxanegay.bsky.social & Eshani talk all night. So much warmth, wit, and insight in that room.

🎉 Happy book birthday to Ravishing by @eshanisurya.bsky.social from @groveatlantic.bsky.social! Eshani Surya's debut highlights the dark side of the beauty industry and how far will we go in exchange for beauty, love, and acceptance.

“I’ve learned to be most interested in enjoying the process of making something emotionally true and honest.” In this week's #TenQuestions, @eshanisurya.bsky.social provides an inside look at the writing process for her debut novel, Ravishing, out now from Roxane Gay Books. More: at.pw.org/eshani

What is a "SFF Crossover" book? Well, in November, it might be a cli-fi anthology, or a mythological retelling of Aphrodite, or perhaps a magical realism novel following the reincarnation of a dead family member–just to throw a few examples out there.

Did you know I wrote a book?! Advanced copies are out and blurbs are in— coming your way Feb 10, 2026. And of course the very best thing to do is preorder your hardcover copy or audiobook! www.harpercollins.com/products/in-...
