A thread of my #DVparty posts: bsky.app/profile/good...

It was amazing to see all the wonderful pitches for #DVpit today! Wishing everyone luck with their stories!

🫣I messed up the hashtag #Dvpit

AMARI X JUJUTSU KAISEN After stealing her first secret mission, 13yo Maeve opens a portal to the underground realm of the Seven Deadly Sins—where she must strengthen the barrier keeping them imprisoned. If only ex-friends, talking urns, and magical mazes weren’t a part of the deal too…#DVpit #MG #F

AMARI X JUJUTSU KAISEN 13yo Maeve must strengthen the magical barrier protecting Earth from the Seven Deadly Sins’ imminent uprising: Add in 🃏 A deadly trivia game 🕳️ Magical sinkholes 🪄 Illusion-filled forests 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Rocky ex-friendships ⚱️ & a talking urn w/ generational secrets #DVpit #MG #F

AMARI X JUJUTSU KAISEN 13yo Maeve will do anything to avoid spending the holidays with her estranged family—even visit the glorified, underground prison of the Seven Deadly Sins on a deadlier journey to stop Pride from rising up and wreaking havoc on Earth. #DVpit #MG #F

Friendly reminders for my DVpit peeps 🙋‍♀️ 1. Don’t forget to double check your hashtags! 2. Don’t like or repost anyone’s post so you don’t accidentally get someone’s hopes up ❤️ Show everyone love in their comments! #DVparty

Day 6-Next Project My current wip is another middle grade story. Instead of fantasy, I'm challenging myself with sci-fi this time around. Right now, it can best be described as the wackiness of RICK & MORTY meets the strong friendships and found family of DANDADAN. #DVparty #MG #SF

Day 5-Song/Playlist Here are a few songs that came to mind when writing MMTSP. Some of them relate to Maeve herself, while others encompass the story as a whole. I have a Spotify playlist, but that's a little too chaotic to post right now. #DVparty #MG #F

Day 4-Your Story as a meme #DVparty #MG #F

Day 3-Opening Lines #DVparty #MG #F

Day 2-Introduce Your Main Character As the only descendant of Pride at Marwood Academy, Maeve feels as if a lot to prove-which often gets her into trouble. She can hold a grudge and has a hard time letting things go. Her ego is huge, but she has a heart of gold to match it. #DVparty #MG #F

Day 1-Moodboard/Art Hey everyone! Pictured below are the main characters of MAEVE MONROE AND THE SUNKEN PLACE. The titular character (and narrator) is in the middle, and you'll learn more about her tomorrow😊 I'm excited to share this story! artwork by uncomfortcharacter on IG. #DVparty #MG #F

Dear #litagents, I'm happy to present an #agentsguide for a revised version of MAEVE MONROE AND THE SUNKEN PLACE! Complete at approximately 55k words, MMTSP is a middle-grade contemporary fantasy. This will hit the query trenches this month and be pitched for #DVpit! #amquerying #MG #F

It’s not “American Taliban” it’s white Christofascism It’s not “Mullah Trump” it’s WHITE supremacy It’s not “Christian sharia” it’s White Christofascism Stop going “What are WE? A bunch of MUSLIMS?” with y’all’s analogies Stop blaming Muslims for WHITE XSTIANS Y’all are being bigots

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Amari x JJK x FMA In a world where the Seven Deadly Sins used to rule over the Earth, Maeve, a 13yo descendant of Pride, must venture into their underground territory to uncover the secrets of Marwood Academy and the Sanctum its Sinners serve. #MG #F #amquerying #litagents

Amari x JJK x FMA 13yo Maeve has one job: babysitting a dusty urn until the Sanctum can pick it up. Now, if only the urn would stop talking to her and showing her visions of a grandmother she’s never met… #MG #F #amquerying #litagents

My friend Maha needs help; she is in Gaza and trying to raise money to leave. I’m worried about her and want her to be okay. She is truly so kind. I’ve just donated €20 to her campaign. If anyone is willing to match my donation (not necessarily in number, but in intention), I would be grateful ❤️

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

I don't do this a lot, but BLOCK THIS MAN. Block this man IMMEDIATELY. He is a long time known predator in the #WritingCommunity on Twitter. He does his stupid "boost" posts on women without consent and then gets creepy as fuck like they "owe" him, including a few minors. Block, spread the word.

#UnhingedPit is coming to blue sky! The pitch event open to EVERYONE in the #writingcommunity, designed for creatives to let loose and express their work in a way that makes their heart flutter. Questions? Now's the ⏱️ to ask them 🤪

Announcing #BluePit! The first BlueSky exclusive writing pitch event open to all genres! Much of the #WritingCommunity is migrating due to Twitter's new AI & block policy, so the time has come to bring pitch events with us. Agent participation is welcome & public feeds will be provided!

I asked for cozy Black romance recommendations on Threads, and I had over 70 author names dropped into my mentions over the last 24 hours. At least half of those I had never read before! I’m working on a list of those new-to-me authors, but in the meantime, here are ones I have read and enjoyed!

Calling all #litagents, here's an #agentsguide to MAEVE MONROE AND THE SUNKEN PLACE, an upper middle-grade contemporary fantasy complete at approx. 67,000 words #amquerying #MG #F #Q
