I assure you that actual nature is infinitely more strange, beautiful, and wonderful than anything AI could produce. Humanity barely has the the ability to conceive of the breadth of the natural world's complexity. And we are born of it, and part of it.

As we’re entering a new season of pitch events, we want to remind querying authors of some schmagent red flags. This is your sign to reach out if you need help vetting your agent list!! cre: @lillyluwrites.bsky.social @solarhoang.bsky.social 🧵1/2

a sneak peak into what i've been working on this year! CANAL BOYS🌊 #YA #FantasyMystery #SouthAsian #WIP

Hey Augurians!! We're NOW OPEN for a PRIORITY call from BIPOC, trans, &/or disabled creators currently living in &/or from Canada 📚 From May 5th-31st, Augur Mag is now ACCEPTING speculative submissions of... ✨ Short fiction ✨ Flash fiction ✨ Poetry Scroll for more details 👀⬇️

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

**I will be opening to queries on Monday, June 1 until I reach 100 queries** During this time, I will ONLY be accepting queries for queer romance with magical elements. Think Sangu Mandanna, Sara Raasch - romance + grounded/very low fantasy. Let magic enhance love, and make me swoon. #amquerying

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜
