Well, the rabbit's out of the PM bag! I have a lot of thoughts on what it means at last to be fulfilling the dream I've nurtured since I was 7 years old, but for right now I'm afraid all I have for you is the mental image of me flapping in a circle while I shout, I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!

I don't know how it got to be the end of summer but... Hi! I'm the book content editor for Reactor Mag and I'm looking for 2026 sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and crossover speculative books! If you've got an adult or YA SFFH book publishing next year please share the link/info here!

So excited to share the beautiful cover of my debut fantasy, #ThePoetEmpress, which I am absolutely floored by! 🥰 It's comes out from Bramble 01.20.26 next year! (Credits to artist Kelly Chong & designer Esther S. Kim!) bit.ly/ThePoetEmpress

We’re going to GREECE!!

Hi #PortfolioDay ! I'm Lauren, a comic writer/illustrator and high school art teacher (teaching a comics course) I'm eager to work on ya, genre fiction, and queer stories. I'm repped by @sknigge.bsky.social at High Line Literary 💖 you can find my work and commission info at laurenanalepa.com

I typed The End on SPELLWRIGHT!!! And it’s in my editor’s hands!!! 🎉

PM official! I’m so excited SPELLWRIGHT, my debut YA, will be publishing with Atheneum/S&S in Fall 2026. It has: 💫 A cozy spellshop 🖤 Unbreakable curses 💫 A Howl-adjacent, sleepy-eyed magician 🖤 A dust-fingered spellwright 💫 A barefoot ball 🖤 A gargoyle-guarded library 💫 A spoiled marmalade cat

Just…I love writing. It’s like having a dream I actually remember in the morning.

My gram is the reason I love hummingbirds, fairy tales, and writing about magic. She’s also the reason I’m still on Facebook! 🤣 When I posted about SPELLWRIGHT, she was right there replying, saying she can’t wait for publication and my heart twinged. She’s 98, and that feels like magic too. ✨

I simply cannot wait for SPELLWRIGHT!! I tumbled headfirst into @heatherkassner.bsky.social ‘s delicious, sparkling, luminous world and fell utterly in love. This one’s good for what ails ya! A cozy warm heart hug, with the perfect dash of magic and smooches—what more could a gal ask for? ✨

Nothing better than book mail!!!! 🖤💜🤍 @maryaverling.bsky.social

So excited for the world to fall for Fia and her magic the way we have 😍

Sill laughing, still crying, with the sweetness of this news: SPELLWRIGHT is going to be published by Atheneum/S&S in Fall 2026.

Really missing my dad today. ♥️

I’ve been long overdue for a new author photo, and thanks to my husband, I finally have one. 🦋

✨ Blurb Reveal ✨ Only nine weeks remain until THE UNDERWILD: RIVER OF SPIRITS magically appears on shelves! Get ready to explore the Underworld on March 25, 2025 (Aladdin books/S&S) ✨ This blurb is from Heather Kassner, who has been an incredible friend and champion of my writing 🖤✨

Really liking my inbox right now. 😌

Wrote my first words of 2025 today, and this small thing felt like a very big thing. ✨

Happy Friday the 13th! 🖤

Happy October 1st! 🖤🍂🫖🤎🎃

THE END!! I typed these lovely words yesterday, and can I just scream now? *screams*

All my books have birthdays in August!! 🖤

Hi, all! I love everything books—especially those that are magical, whimsical, strange, and dark. My books include THE BONE GARDEN, THE FOREST OF STARS, and THE PLENTIFUL DARKNESS. 🖤
