Resharing this one:

So like did anyone know that the musical Waitress is actually emotionally devastating

boat book! boat book!

y'all this book is so much spooky mysterious fun, I loved editing it. And the cover!

Here you go, a blog post about the word 'stet' and how you deploy it. kjcharleswriter.com/2016/09/05/l...

So THE SALT ORACLE is a finalist for the BSFA awards! And my amazing designer, Sam Gretton is a finalist for the cover too! 🙌🏽 Truly delighted for Sam & very, very grateful to everyone who voted for my strange, briny why-pick-one-genre-when-you-can-pick-four book 🤗 @solarisbooks.bsky.social 🖤

Ian Mond, Locus: Slatter is a tremendous writer, with a body of work that puts her in the top echelon of contemporary fantasy authors. With AFD, she’s elevated those skills to another level giving us a work that isn’t just a cracking story richly told, but also connects at a personal intimate level.

It's time! Nominations are now open for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction, which will be given to a work of imaginative fiction, published in 2025, that reflects the concepts and ideas that were central to Ursula’s own work.

This book made me cry with joy and heartache every time I read it for edits. Beautiful, delightful and poignant all in one

Did you wish Kwa had more 'screentime' in book 1? Then you'll love this one

Proud of all my authors from 2025! And proud of how much I have grown editorially. More from these authors and beyond in 2026

Hello whoever reads this, I am alive, still editing, but also growing and aching and trying to find life away from social media

Amnesty International has a great guide for filling in this strategically poorly constructed survey. Also having just gotten ILR I see red if I think about this whole thing for too long

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd of hundreds of rabbis, cantors, and other Jews have gathered outside ICE headquarters in DC for the largest ever Jewish protest against ICE’s violence and crimes. #jewsagainstICE

I am eligible for Best Long Form Editor, but there are about fifteen editors I would vote for before myself 😁 Talented folk, in the SFF editorial field!

Working with Margrét on Nordic Visions was a brilliantly enriching experience, so I’m unbelievably excited to be collaborating again on NORDIC NIGHTMARES! Jumped at the chance to help bring this collection of contemporary Nordic horror into the hands of readers worldwide. Fall 2026!

A great resource and a chance to remind people what great stuff is out there!

Turns out I'll be tagging in for @alrutter.bsky.social at World Fantasycon this weekend: I'll be in the PUBLISHING DEMYSTIFIED panel on Friday and the EDITING AND EDITORS panel on Saturday! Hope to see you there!

I do freelance editing in addition to my day job &I am encountering more people using programmes eg ProWritingAid to 'assist' in writing their first drafts before coming to me for dev edits/coaching. Wrt making a decision about taking on a client, I'm not sure what to make of this /1

In less than a month, my novel The Ganymedan, which combines Altered Carbon with the spacefacing intrigue of The Expanse, will be out in stores. Please consider pre-ordering a copy. If you already have, thank you kindly! geni.us/ganym

I've decided that whilst critical success is lovely, I'd like to sell some books. If you liked EXTREMOPHILE, recommend it to a pal! (If your pal is fucking COOL and not a narc) Eco-terrorism biohacking body horror, smart shit with dumb characters. Your new favourite book

Realised with a jolt that World Fantasycon is around the corner. I would love to meet folks, especially writers in the folk fantasy and horror spaces! Or please just do say hi!
