I've been gatekeeping that I cut my hair into a mullet but I don't have any good pictures to be my new pfp to just imagine it

that's MY agent 🙂‍↕️🎉

hello friends of bluesky! i'm looking for a sensitivity reader that specializes in samoan culture and character. i've found a couple that do polynesian sensitivity reads in general (though i welcome more suggestions), but if you know of anyone who reads for samoa specifically please let me know :)

I need something good to read .... I just slogged my way through a 3 star read. I need something delicious

So proud and excited celebrate the US publication of ARCANA THE LOST HEIRS by the incredible Sam Prentice-Jones this Tuesday! ARCANA is out now in the US with Feiwel & Friends @panmacmillan.bsky.social and will be coming soon to the UK courtesy of Hot Key Books.

Started a gofundme to help me get through this job search. Im no stranger to struggle. Struggle knows me by name at this point. Its been fun cosplaying confort for as long as i could. 🥹 gofund.me/e12005a9

I have been wallowing in the state of the world but perhaps wallowing can be over now so I can write something

ahhh netgalley approved me for the new joelle wellington joint ... the blond dies first made her an instabuy for me so I'm so excited to get to read the arc :")

omg the worst part of publishing is the waiting ... I'm feeling way too optimistic about things lmao

NOTHING like waking up to a really great email from my agent...!!! can confirm having a UK agent is tops because I'll wake up at 7 AM with a fun lil email waiting for me

ngl I miss the rush of querying a little bit it was kind of like doing drugs :/

I think my edits are complete :)

I didn't write for two weeks then banged out 3000 words in a day and now haven't written since djdiksdksks... I can do it...

Hi, we are an alternative to Amazon-owned Audible 👋🏻 With us, you select the independent bookshop you want to support (we have 3,000+ partners across the globe), and we share profits from your purchase with them. We're also employee-owned and a registered Social Purpose Corporation.

getting over my fear of public scrutiny with a post that I wrote about rewriting your book! but what if I don't WANT to rewrite my book??? #writingcommunity #amquerying #amdrafting #amwriting rmcress.wordpress.com/2025/03/12/b...

Just read the NHL Tie-Breaking procedures for determining playoff positions. Dozens of criteria. Then, if hockey results don't decide it, they move on to Figure Skating, Rod Hockey, Home Run Derby, Slam Dunk Contest, Flag Football, Gymnastics, Synchronized Swimming, One-Day Iditarod, and Iron Chef.

the joy of hitting 78k words while working on edits only to have to delete two chapters and completely rewrite them

Don’t forget to support indie authors even if you’re boycotting Amazon!! #writingcommunity let’s start a thread of places your books are available outside of the Zon!! there are so many ways to support indie (especially marginalized) authors!! #writesky #booksky

working on edits? no. hello kitty island adventure

re: boycotting Amazon (good) being a detriment to indie authors, I keep hearing the argument that reading enough on KU costs Amazon more than what you pay for the subscription— Amazon always has sold books at a loss, and I promise that they do not care. that's exactly what they want to happen.

Put the word out that we're back. Think of us. We open 4/20 for a short window for a print issue in the fall. We want poems, prose, art, comics & beyond. Free to submit, free to read online always, we now pay $150 + comp copies + eternal literary infamy. More prestigious than the Paris Review.

I am so proud to represent such an amazing bunch of authors, and next week I’ll be at London Book Fair sharing their brilliant work across Children’s, Adult and Graphic Novels. Editors, I’ve still got one or two slots left so get in touch if you want to hear more! #LBF25 #LondonBookFair

Agents with clients on sub to editors are like kids on a road trip with their parents: “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?” 😆🚘

i started drafting a “how i got my agent” post but I’m worried that “sheer dumb luck” is going to come off as humble bragging 😭 it’s not, it’s just true!! i sent 12 queries and just happened to land my book with someone who believed in me REALLY HARD right away

currently reminiscing with my friend who i traveled with at the carnival and reaallllyyyy glad i stuck it out with carnival wip :’)

i think many books could be improved by making the characters gay 🫵🏽

doing big pacing edits means deleting and rewriting 1000 words at a time so that you’re always hitting the same milestone over and over ldjdkskdk

does kj charles know the death grip she has over my tbr right now

Theo only exists for one hour a day. The rest belongs to "Theodore." But when he learns his condition isn’t neurological—he’s hosting a lost human consciousness—he must fight for his right to exist… before he’s erased for good. #YA #SF #WSPitW #WSPit

I could not be more happy to be repped by the effervescent katie!!! having someone understand the stories i want to tell and be such a fantastic cheerleader during the writing process has been indescribable!!! love katie!!!!

yeah you could say i read diversely

light skinned biracials 🫶🏼😔 (this is a joak)

i read the blonde dies first by joelle wellington as one of my february reads and can i just say how difficult it is to write an develop a cast of six characters??? and she did it so well??? i really enjoyed it lol it was such a fun black slasher

been absolutely crushing it on carnival wip edits and have now brought this baby up to 77k
