Phoebe Aston 📖The Poisoner by IV Ophelia

I cannot stress enough the importance of finding an agent that believes in you and your creative agency. An agent who loves you is your greatest champion, and they’ll make damn sure that your work only reaches hands that will do it justice.

I’ll never get over her…

My traditional debut will be in 2026 ✨🍾

I can’t believe I get to do this but… ✨Vague Publishing News✨

Xoxo, gothic girl

Something is coming…

I have sent a letter to my state representatives asking them to pass a law disallowing companies from operating in the state where C-Suite executives are waging war on the Constitution, punishable by civil forfeiture of company property.

Goodbye January 🖤

Did you miss out on the last restock of this cover? This might be a good time to mention that I’m giving one away on Goodreads 👀🩸

Born to never keep a secret, forced to be in publishing where I have to wait 3-4 business years to tell you what I’m doing 💔

Alina and Silas from The Poisoner by @ophallic.bsky.social I've been craving making vampire art, and I love this book's take on vampires with the black sclera, the bifid tongue, the needle like fangs with venom!? I am in love.

I know it might be hard but it’s important to pay attention to what is happening. Don’t look away or retreat into yourself. Invest in your community.Think about what you can do & who you can love & support in your community & go do it.And commit to doing it forever, not just for the next four years
