So... what is an author coaching call? And how does it differ from a book coach? And do you have to be an author to book a call like this? Let's break it down. 🥰 1/ #WritingMystics

I have combined forces with a couple other #author coaches to form the Writing Mystics. On our ko-fi you’ll find monthly tips, recs, and/or prompts for free as well as a pay-walled #writing craft article. Each month will feature a different theme and this month is Dialogue. Follow us!

It is time to talk about the new thing. 👀 Alli Martin, Kira Anderson, and I have formed the #WritingMystics with the goal to help coach and assist writers and authors with every part of their journey. 1/

#ProTip: When building your email campaigns, always account for dark mode. I still find several large-scale companies that don't account for this, and use images that aren't tailored with transparent backgrounds. The result is messy, patchwork email campaigns instead of clean, concise design.

Today someone suggested that the #1 movie on your 16th birthday is how your 2026 will go. Total Recall Welcome to Recall, where the truth and the dreamworld coincide into one giant war zone, and by the end you still don't know if you're in the dream world or back in your regular life. Touché.

You don’t know anybody until you live with them, day in and day out. Don’t ask how a survivor didn’t know. Don’t wonder why they didn’t see it coming. Don’t doubt them because their abuser was nice to everyone else they met. Believe survivors.

New secret things coming soon... 👀

Cover reveal & crowdfunding announcement! I have written another book. Project Tasman is a sapphic dystopian book about a woman in a psychological experiment. I'm so excited to share this beautiful cover from @bmwillows.bsky.social Follow the BackerKit below, pls www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

A million and a half years ago, before I figured out storytelling vs writing, I wrote a sequel and tried to make it the first book in the series. I sent it off to a critique partner, crossing my fingers that I'd finally found that magical spell that pulled it all together... 1/

21. OK so this one is a pure promo fact but I've booked TWO book launch events for Woman of Sorrow in Blood in Toronto and one of them has a really pretty Eventbrite page!! If you're local & want a signed copy, put this on your calendar: www.eventbrite.ca/e/book-launc...

Seeing lots of folks talk about how much they love novellas, and while it is technically a novel, Woman of Sorrow and Blood IS short enough that you can read it in a night Which is good, because once you start, you won't be able to put it down - just ask @kjharrowick.bsky.social

Happy (late) book birthday to @mariatureaud.bsky.social and her stunning novel THIS HOUSE WILL FEED! 🎉 When a story starts with: "The taste of my brother's flesh still haunted me." ...head straight to your favorite bookseller and grab a copy. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790127...

So if you're working or alone this holiday, much love to you. May the day treat you well, pass quickly, and be devoid of assholes. Love you guys.

Years ago, when I was a mentee hopeful, the silence during the submission window was always the worst. So for my hopefuls out there that need at least the occasional note, here we go... 🥰 #WriteHive #HiveMentor 1/
