Just read an ARC of Red City by Marie Lu and it’s SO good! So so so good! A Chinese-American girl and an Indian boy become friends at school, with no idea that they’re both training to become alchemists, part of rival magical mafia-style gangs. When they grow up, loyalties are tested. 📚💙

Oh hey, Neighborhood Literary is six months old today! We’ve sold some cool projects, signed some wonderful people, and are continuing the goal of free, accessible local events to make publishing more accessible. Thanks for hanging in there with us. ❤️

Are you a fast or a slow drafter? How long does it take you to finish a first draft? I’m a little all over the place, and I’m not sure yet how fast I’ll be drafting this one. But I’m still going, so I count that as a win. All writing speeds are okay. Writing is not a race. #FallofWords

Listen bro, you can create a little and you did something. You can create nothing, take care of your mental, rest, and you did something. Imagine, envision. It builds toward the ultimate goal of finishing something. Sometimes, this shit is slow and agonizing. Just do what you can when you can.

I don’t know where this project for my #FallofWords journey wants to go. But that’s okay. I never really know where my stories will take me until I sit down and write them. I’m a true discovery writer. And you?

The Unmapping is about human reaction to catastrophe. It features messy characters cutting in and out of the narrative, moving in a way that mimics the world shifting around them. I hope you get so much out of this story. a.co/d/hP6nGkS bookshop.org/a/20702/9781... audiobrary.com/products/the...

I just realized that the query blurb I've been using for months has this one part in the *very first line* that looks like it was written by AI and okay, I will relinquish the rule of three because it can be cheesy but once again: you can pry my excessive em-dashes from my cold dead hands
