My book is out today! Check it out!!! #queerbooks #lgbtsciencefiction #lgbtqbooks #sapphic #lesbian

We have a new unboxing video with Verne! Today is the release of Mothball Magic by Rena Rocford, so if you want to see The Golden Girls meets Harry Dresden, get your copy today! #queerbooks #lgbtsciencefiction #lgbtqbooks #sapphic #lesbian

Here she is!! The cover is absolutely spectacular and we can't wait for you all to meet Avis in all her snarky, Sherlockian, emotionally stunted glory. Read a bit more about her on our newsletter here: mkhardywrites.beehiiv.com/p/boat-book-...

Today is cover reveal day for THE BONE BRIDES, and I am vibrating like a star in the sky! Not in my wildest imaginings did I ever think I would have a cover this beautiful. THE BONE BRIDES comes out Sept 29th---with exquisite spredges exclusive to the first edition! Pre-order links in bio!

Here's what hurts right now. Yes, Anthropic--who stole my books--has pushed back from being the last line of targeting for the US war machine, it doesn't change the fact that Claude gave them bad intelligence and it was used to kill girls. My words were fed into that machine.

Really looking forward to chatting all things Shipwright and Shroudweaver with @dunfermlinereads.bsky.social this Thursday 26th at 7:30pm on Instagram live. Come say hello!

I am no longer represented by Seth Fishman. My MS needs another round of edits before I query, but if you love your agent (or if you're an agent who thinks I'm neat!), gimme a poke :) I write weird, queer, highly political ghost stories about families breaking and rebuilding through war and grief.

You know how it starts to feel real when the infrastructure around a thing starts to exist? www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

Why don't they say anything? Well, because when it happens to YOU, if you say something, that's frequently the ballgame. You get driven out of your community; you get to see what the people you thought loved you look like with the masks off. And way, way too many of them are monsters.

i am a middle aged white mom with a minivan. i live in a brick ranch and vote democrat in every election. i am the electoral equivalent of a free space in bingo. I PROMISE THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AT MY KITCHEN TABLE

Aberdonians! Come and see us on Saturday the 31st! For putting up with our nonsense you'll also get to hear Raine's interesting and erudite thoughts, AND she's bringing origami.

Literally the minute I post this, my copyedits arrive. Welp, hold that thought WIP, I'll be back soon!

I've started the year strong by putting in some words, and it's starting to feel like I might just be able to make this book happen. It's still early days, but we'll see. #amwriting #WIP

As we fall deeper into this 1930s cosplay, I feel pressure from so many corners to use every venue to have an opinion and make statements. People often come to my books thinking my writing is neutral and not political. Dear Readers, this is not the case. #amwriting #books #author 1/?

I've finished deactivating my old twitter account, so if you see me there, you did not, in fact, see me there.

Remember when you buy cool stuff this weekend, don't give your money to big box stores! Support local and #indie owned businesses. Your money goes right back to hardworking people, rather than corporations. Here's a list of book crowdfunding campaigns, all real people, no AI! www.the-book-bazaar.com

Most of the books published on Space Wizard are queer, so if you wanna support some marginalised creators, this is your chance. They're also providing discounted editing services as part of his campaign, with payment plans. #booksky #queersky #writingcommunity

One year ago, this little book hit the shelves in the UK. It didn't have much in the way of fanfare, no one will nominate it for awards, but despite everything, it's sold so much better than I expected and has made some solid fans, which, at the end of the day, is what matters.

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

Oooooh friends. It’s that time of year again. Cut Amazon out of the equation! My publisher is doing the Year 4 Backerkit RIGHT NOW and THE DRAGONSCALE COMB is part of it. Help support small press AND get more dragons, feral pegasi, and princess kissing www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

It's starting to feel real, y'all. In fact, it's starting to feel so real that I can post links to it! An interview with me about my book, MOTHBALL Magic! I'm so excited!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

I'm in here. I'm furious. Worse, the notice probably went to my defunct publisher.

Reminded of this much needed tweet from @shannagermain.bsky.social today 💙

I maybe haven't talked about it much, but I have a book coming out! Here is the first announcement and the landing page to sign up for alerts about it through my publisher, Space Wizard Fantasy! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Hey, it’s the first Sapphic Sunday of June! Happy Pride, support queer authors and read queer books, all year long. And I hope you read sapphic books too. Like VILE LADY VILLAINS 🖤🥀

So, this Unbound/Boundless fiasco. I was going to be polite about it, but after this morning’s email: no

FATED WINDS AND PROMISING SEAS by @wordsofrablack.bsky.social - m/m - you'd rather stay in your prison cell - but then a leviathan attacks - and you're rescued by a plucky crew of outcasts - whose captain is... suspiciously familiar... - but hey, maybe he can keep you out of jail

Thrilled to share the news of a cozy mystery coming this fall from client Emily Soderberg! HOW TO TALK TO YOUR DOG ABOUT MURDER is fun and lighthearted and just the sort of book to sink into a forget the world! (It's on NetGalley next week!)

When people talk about dealing with their demons while writing, this is what I imagine the other writers mean as well.

Proud to be the 100th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Space Wizard Science Fantasy: Year 4, part 1. Seven new queer books!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

Now that we’ve officially launched OTHERSIDE, it’s time to highlight our amazing team! We’re a speculative magazine for queer writers and poets, so it was important to us that our team be queer-led too. In this thread, learn about each of us—and the kinds of submissions we hope to see next year:

Some tips as someone who loves food, has a bunch of health-related food restrictions, and has been food insecure for ~3 years 1. If you can afford it, a Costco membership is the best possible investment in not starving. $5 rotisserie chicken + bulk frozen vegetables have gotten me through so much.

I have office hours tonight at 6cst! Come ask me your publishing and writing questions! Or just come hang out!

🎉 I AM OFFICIALLY A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!! 🎉 My book The Serpent Called Mercy has officially hit shelves in North America (UK/Commonwealth tomorrow)! This is a dream come true for me, and I’m so grateful. Here’s my very last unboxing video to celebrate:
