Hi, friends! I’m not here much these days because I’m streaming my socials and making insta my main jam! Come and find me @lillysanderswrites

Incredible. The characters will stay with me for a long time. #bookrecs #booksaremagic

I have “professional snacker”’ in my bio and need to start showing the receipts. These were cheesecake cherry cookies. My kids were not impressed, but my neighbors loved them! #Writersnacks #snacktime

Still so chuffed and excited for the #litagent showcase! #writesky

So encouraged my romcom made the top 100 and agent showcase! Huge thanks to Cheshire Novel Prize and congratulations to the finalists. #Writesky #WritingCommunity

You know it’s serious when the pages are printed and the pen is out. #writesky #WIP

Hey #Writesky you know what impresses the hell out of me? Like knocks my socks off. Is when you receive rejections and just keep going.

My availability for manuscript critiques, query letter critiques, and Brain Picking Sessions is opening up for September! I'd love the chance to help you strengthen your submission, or to answer publishing questions. Details at my website.

This gave me the inspo for my MC’s cutthroat world. Copeland described how employees ranked each other via virtual baseball cards in a corporate hunger games. The lone woman exec was called the ice queen and unfairly terminated. In my book, I was determined to to give the “ice queen” a better end.

The first time Alexis sees Holden. #WIPSnips #Writesky ✨✨✨

I just watched season 19 of Project Runway (I’m behind, I know) and I always learn so much from this show that applies to my writing 🧵…

I read an agent’s #MSWL that they wanted a #werewolf YA. Wow! Are we still into this in 2025? If so, I’m keen to write one with some killer social commentary. I would love to take down predatory billionaires and werewolves would help me do it. Also, please send me your werewolf book recs?!?

My baby started Kindergarten. It’s fine. Really. It’s okay. There seems to be a new effect on here. The screen keeps misting up.

Aww, my YA. I miss it. It’s sitting on my laptop waiting for a rewrite. I’m going to change it into a dual first person POV. Wish me well. 🎄🎄🎄☃️☃️☃️🧤🧤🛷🛷🛷⛸️⛸️⛸️ #editing #YA

Amazing!

This!…

I read and loved this one👇👇👇…

Her writing is so cinematic. It’s really interesting how she renders documentary film into her book. Also, this cover!

What’s helped you improve the most as a writer? For me, it was reading and creating a near daily pattern of writing, but I’m so curious to hear what you all think?

A trusted CP told me, my characters need a bit more romantic euphoria before I destroy their worlds, which is happy news for a romance writer. You mean I get to write one more chapter of hope and connection? Count me in! I aim to channel Jamie and Claire vibes, but you know, contemporary. 🤞🤞🤞👌👌👌

I am halfway through with this line edit. How’s your writing going?

Encouraging👇👇👇

So thankful for this friend and super talented writer! @jademasonwrites.bsky.social #writesky

Doing line edits one chapter a day, but with the chapters out of chronological order. I’ve never done that before, and it helps me focus on the chapter as a whole and really get into the small details. #editing #writergirl #ilovewriting

Currently reading with my kids. We are all completely hooked.

As it turns out, if you are exhausted, sick, or really sad. Maybe you’ve been crying and feel terrible, editing your book that day might not be a good idea. You can make things worse. Take care you! #WritingCommunity

Current re-read. A younger man age gap romance is quite in vogue these days, but Zora Neale Hurston did it first and Zora Neale Hurston did it best. #WritingCommunity #romancebooks

She nails, no hammers down the protagonist’s voice. 👌👌

What do we think? Should I write a romcom about Philadelphia’s quirky dart scene called WHEN DARTS MEET? #daydreaming #writer #romcomstan

Katherine Center, I love you! That’s all. Except that, you can get audiobooks from your library. There are a handful of people (I was one of them until recently) who don’t know that and I’m here to tell it on the mountain. Last, the narrator, Marguerite Gavin, is an absolute delight. #Writersky

Every year they make my heart so happy!

That meet cute moment. 🌼🫶🌼🫶 #WIPsnips

The synopsis for my new romcom is 820 words. If I want to enter the Cheshire novel prize, I’ll need to get it down to 500. How am I going to cut these words?!?

Sometimes you think you’ve written good dialogue and then you read an Emily Henry book. #romancebooks #writersky

It’s happening, so tell your friends! Referrals = mutual discounts. Full details at my website under Help for Authors.

Querying can be lonely but supportive writer friends make all the difference. A morning of writer talk flew by…

Imagine the 90’s PRETTY WOMAN with a gender flip. #questpit #a #r #q 🌊Corporate intrigue 🌊Feminist takeovers 🌊 Fake dating 🌊Banter for days 🌊Sizzling romance on Maldive beaches 🌊Smashing patriarchy 🌊Loss + self-discovery 🌊An unlikely love overcomes every obstacle

Feeling lost as a querying author… Go back to the stories you create. Go back to the craft you refine. Go back to your community of writers. Go back to reading the books you love. #WritingCommunity

My heroine has lots of fun smashing patriarchy. When backed into a corner by her boss, she’s got something up her sleeve. #WIPsnips #WritingCommunity

Sometimes I flashback to the first query I ever sent.

Reading a fellow writer’s lovely manuscript…my heart is full! #WritingCommuntiy #Writersky

Re-reading old favorites. Sometimes I will read a Rainbow Rowell book straight through and then again. #Favoritebooks #Writersky #WritingCommunity

I’m closing in 230 followers and I don’t take a single one for granted. I’ve learned so much from you all! Thank you for being my friend on this space. Writers supporting writers is my jam! #Writersky #WritingCommunity

I just spent an hour convincing my husband that I needed to write a romcom where my down and out heroine talks to the mouse in her run down apartment. The mouse (whose name is Neil) eventually talks back and guides her to love. This is a bad idea, right?

Prince and Keanu have followed me, so I feel like my #bluesky account is officially official!

#WritingCommunity #WIPsnips

My current WIP takes place in Philly in Springtime because it reminds me of hope and new beginnings and yes, I am that cheesy!
