@haleydirenzo.bsky.social in @doesithavepockets.bsky.social — “I do not know what it is to be a mother but I think it must be something like a wild thing, capable of carnage but offering mercy” As a mother — wow. Yes! #EpistemicLitFamily www.doesithavepockets.com/poetry/haley...

So grateful to have landed on the 2025 Write Kidlit Now! Scholarship list with my new #MG project. Thank you, @bookthreader.bsky.social & @lindajoysingleton.bsky.social --here's to stories, and all the wonder to which they lead. www.moniritchie.com/wkns_recipie...

Morning prompt based on last night's Flannery O'Connor reading: think of a basic activity of living and put the worst person you know in it. Write from their POV for ten minutes.

Can’t remember if I shared this yet. I love book lists like this — then when my various children ask me, “Mom, do you know any good books so would like?” I always have a suggestion! afuse8production.slj.com/2025/10/29/a...

Oh this is such a beautiful piece! ❤️Thanks for sharing! @kathrynreese.bsky.social @lit-namjooning.bsky.social

I admire (and envy) the skill it takes to include so much social commentary in a tiny little space! #SpecFic by @lyfaulk.bsky.social “With one sniff, she could tell the authorities who was the troublemaker, the outsider, the other.” lyfaulk.com/2025/11/03/t...

This piece by @kathrynreese.bsky.social in @lit-namjooning.bsky.social makes me want to go for a walk in the forest, in the rain. It’s been nearly two decades since I’ve done such a thing! literarynamjooning.wixsite.com/litnam/post/...

"As my own writing endeavors grew in adulthood, the typewriter became a symbol that connected my mother, words, and me. More than a tool of communication, it was a mirror through which the best of us both passed." An essay about the weight of one typewriter. sugar-pig.blogspot.com/2023/11/22-p...

We love our people! Forever and ever.

Thank you so much for this honour @delgeo14.bsky.social. I am thrilled to bits. Big thanks to @raecowie.bsky.social and @norami.bsky.social for their help with the piece, and @amymarques.bsky.social for the fabulous illustration.

today's square poem from Tracie Renee captured a last walk with a dog so perfectly, it punched me with memories and grief and heartache in ways a perfect poem can make feel just right https://www.havehashad.com/ldsz0

One of my favourite pieces by my favourite poet (and bae) @kathrynreese.bsky.social in my favourite litmag @lit-namjooning.bsky.social

"'I’m sorry. I can’t wait any longer.' Ynes didn’t know if this is what Luca wanted. Maybe they would have preferred Steph’s scaffold. It burned her, not knowing this final detail. All the years & she couldn’t figure out how to keep them, how to let them fall apart." ⬇️🖤new bones story🖤⬇️

a number of our 2025/26 titles are being released under pseudonyms. my prediction is that we'll see even more. are you reading 'new' authors? are you spotting a newby and taking a chance? your faves are still writing, they're just doing it safely. what a fun little bonus to find their work twice.
