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

Space Wizard Year 4 Part 2 is live! Go check it out and get your 7 new #queer, independent books! We're also part of @the-book-bazaar.com , and there are some amazing stories coming to you. You'll get more free stuff the more campaigns you back! #lgbtqbooks #smallpress #IndieBooks #IndieAuthor

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 up! Check out the Space Wizard Backerkit with my book!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

He's right behind me, isn't he?

If you like my stuff and want to help out my small press, which lifts up #queer voice and publishes great #fantasy and #scifi, check out my new campaign for 7 new books, starting in November! You can listen to some author interviews already! #TBBChat 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.

Hey folks! Money's tight since I had my hours reduced, and I have some upcoming payments, so I'm opening ✨ art commissions ✨! If you're interested in letting me draw your blorbos, reach out at [email protected] or on Discord @thiefprince. And if you order today, I'll throw in something extra! 💕

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Dr. Who," or "Transformers."

I am now open to all the genres I represent through till 31st August. That includes: Fantasy, Sci Fi, Horror, Romance, Thriller, Action and Adventure, and YA Fantasy. I look forward to reading your subs.

I heard you can make good money posting feet pics on the internet. Am I doing it right????

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

We are live with Space Wizard Year 4! If you want to get seven all-new QUEER science fiction and fantasy books, check out the campaign! Backing in the first 48 hours gets you a free audiobook too! #queerscifi #queerfantasy #lgbtqbooks #queerbooks www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

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:

Just finished some edits, and I'm very excited. Side note, it is extremely odd to work on novels as the world crumbles. Will there even be books by the time this comes out?

I'm done debating trans rights. Completely done. We exist. We are valid. There's no one right way to be trans or right way to gender. Either accept people are the gender they say they are or get fucked.

Today looks like a lot. Maybe not slowing down soon. Do what you can. Among other things... saving the world, one book sale at a time. And just like that. I'm opening to queries. Updated guidelines here: maassagency.com/jennifer-jac... Plus happy pi day to all who celebrate. What are you making?

Anything they want, hide it or mislabel it. Anything they plug in, unplug it. Remove light bulbs. Move cubicles around so they hide some of the doors and when they leave the room move them again so they hide different doors. Play really loud music. Think like a cat and sabo tabby yourself a mess

@mahmudelsayed.bsky.social this little guy is trying to sleep, but it's a big day for cooking
