Allies, here’s a great way to support the Trans+ community. You don’t even need to like cyberpunk. Just donate a pound and be thanked in the book.

Your favorite author five years from now may be someone who hasn’t yet published a book. If you haven’t published a book yet, in five years you might be someone’s favorite author!

You: "Describe your WIP in the worst way possible" Me: Knight in Shining Armour Princess with an anxiety disorder gets kidnapped and sets in motion an almost-apocalypse You: "Oops" Me: You have no idea

You: "Describe your WIP in the worst way possible." Me: Frankenstein with no sex and romance. You: “The…the original already had—” Me: *checks notes* Oh. With even LESS sex and romance. It’s in negative numbers now. You: “Well nothing like the power of friendship—” Me: Their friendship is dead.

I have a potentially unrealistic goal of getting 50 people to follow my upcoming kickstarter by the end of February. Is that lofty? Objectively no. I think we can make it happen 👀 Click "notify me on launch" if a genre-blending anthology of vampire fiction piques your interest:

Our hard surface artist @brickwork.bsky.social has some important words to share.

Hey Unclench your jaw Drink some water Drop your shoulders Take a deep breath And keep going, you're doing okay

My dog Ico has cancer. Treating it is very expensive. I hesitated to ask you all for help but I owe Ico a lot. His love has no bounds. I'm still here thanks to him. If Ico ever brought you some joy, please consider donating –even a few bucks would help. gofund.me/82d2ccae2 Thank you.

This sounds SO GOOD, folks! Go read the blurb and let it convince you like it convinced me.

I work in what is currently the biggest bookshop chain in Australia and yeah Yeah, this is accurate People want physical books, they love being in bookstores, it's the Everything Bwing Expensive that gets everyone

*gently shoves this across the table at you* Go get yourself a copy of this!

Nothing for days. #helpsky 💕💸

Subs are still open on the anthology! Surely @seananmcguire.bsky.social has a sapphic story in a drive somewhere looking for a home? But seriously folks, if you’re planning to submit, we have six weeks left! And yes we will consider equally each and every story we receive up until the deadline.

As someone who was raised Catholic, in a very multicultural parish to boot, it genuinely baffles me how people don't take the message of 'love thy neighbour' to heart THAT'S THE POINT To take care of and be cared for, despite the differences between us. We are all deserving of kindness

Bluesky! A question: what upcoming (say 2026-2028) aspec releases are there? I've fallen off keeping track of overall releases and I'm trying to get back to that. Right now I know of, like, 14 and about half of them are my friends and myself.

I try not to ask too often/much, but really need a bit of help with financial stuff for next month As much as I want to open emergency comms, I do not think I will have the fuel and focus to do so while also tending to sudden market prep Any support is much appreciated 💚 ko-fi.com/alfonxzie/go...

Thanks so much for hosting, Mary! I feel so delighted to get to pop back into #HorrorWritersChat. Delighted also to share this interview @dadstoyevsky.bsky.social held inviting me to speak more on “Aromantic Frankenstein” and ace horror representation! acedadadvice.substack.com/p/horror-tel...

It costs $0 to make indie authors happy this week! This three-day book blast focuses on romance, romantasy, & poetry with SO many free & discounted books, including my road trip romance novella, which is perfect for curing your winter blues. 🏍️ Head to indievisibleevents.com to stuff your ereader!

One thing you can do today is buy a friend's book. Who cares if you even read it. Just buy to support art. Fascists hate poetry and short stories and books about joy and memoirs about compassion etc. Let's go.

Repost if you're tired

I got the completed commission piece of Elliott (and George) from @t-w-night.bsky.social a couple of days ago and I'm STILL smiling over it! Elliott's story is featured in 'From Me to You: Anthology of Human Connection' which was by Tea & Books Press (get a copy here: ko-fi.com/teaandbooksp...)

Thinking about what I did last year creatively and the biggest things are both collaborative - My short story 'Gears, Blueprints, and a Spider Named George' came out in the Tea & Books Press anthology! - I started my own small press with some friends and we're running our own aspec anthology

Loved Heated Rivalry, but your bookshop / library won't have the book available till, like, February? Don't worry, fam. I gotcha covered. Check out these assorted ✨ queer 🏈 sports 🎾 romances ⚽ while you wait! 👇👇

My descriptions are beautiful My characterisation is something that I'm really proud of I'm pretty damn good at doing 100 word stories too

Happy Launch Day for our awesome queer trilogy of modern-with-magic novels by Tris Lawrence! These college students have magical Talents, and they've learned about a threat that could end the world! And they still have exams!! Learn more on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc... 🌈📚 📚💙

Ok, The Space Ace of Mangleby Flat is now available at Kobo, Barnes and Noble, Apple, etc. etc. I also put a new cover on it. Does it now look less like a space opera? We'll see! (Space Ace is asexual terminology, a bit like how Woodworking is trans terminology, nothing to do with woodwork.) 🌈📚
