I’m not a good fit for military sci fi or for sword and sorcery fantasy, though I’m open to adjacent genres. I’m probably going to pass on stories about angels or demons. Sexual assault on page is an automatic no from me. #HiveMentor

I’m keeping an open mind about what type of story I’m looking for, but I definitely want a mentee who has thought deeply about their manuscript. For little things that tend to catch my eye: queer stories and stories about people with complicated familial relationships! #HiveMentor

Oh my gosh, so many. The most recent was Charlene Thomas’s STREETLIGHT PEOPLE, which has all the character work I loved in her debut with an additional speculative twist! In adult, Hester Steel’s THE FACELESS THING WE ADORE lives rent free in my brain. #HiveMentor

#HiveMentor From there, it's my job to help give guidance as to how to make that shine through in a story. I work best via email or chat, as well as being able to work with someone asynchronously, but above all yes, I want to help the story you want to tell succeed.

#HiveMentor My mentee is not me. I know that's a weird sentiment, but it's also my guiding principle both as an editor and a mentor. I am here to help make a story the best it can be within the framework of the story you're trying to tell. I want to know what you're passionate about in the story...

My style involves questions! The most important thing for me is making my mentee’s book the most *that book* it can be, so I will be asking about intentions. I don’t want to take apart what works, but I want to hone what’s there (which isn’t to say no rewrites, just intentional ones) #HiveMentor

It’s amazing that I ever get anything written.

I don’t want to be that guy popping, but I beg y’all to look up Huntsville, Alabama’s history with US space flight before you start talking shit

Don’t mind me, I’m just thinking about Bray Wyatt’s “I am the color red in a world of black and white” promo before the 2023 Royal Rumble again.

last week kids at our school watched a father dragged away by masked men. this week at another school children were shot. what is the point of our government. we're supposed to take care of each other.

Sometimes a family is two people who love each other and the five pounds of shredded cheese they bought at Costco

I fear she is going to struggle when I go out of town in October

It’s official! @alcovepress.bsky.social is bringing HELLBOUND to a bookstore near you in Fall 2026!

If you were considering getting a kitten, please know I had to bail out of my online writing group meeting tonight because Brontë caught a cicada that got inside and was running around the house with it STILL ALIVE AND SCREAMING IN HER MOUTH

Very excited that this week’s episode was about Iyo. Her cage match with Shayna for the NXT women’s title is why I started watching wrestling week to week, and that era of NXT is why I wrote my Phantom of the Opera but make it wrestling book, so Iyo’s double important to me 💜
