My first piece of short-form creative writing is published! Loved being able to revisit a little moment of my life in the five minutes, 100 words format.

Hey Revelers! The meet the editor sessions for #RevPit are happening this week. Here’s the schedule. Mine is on Friday. You can ask me about anything from my editorial style to my wishlist and beyond. 💜💎💌

Loved this story so much. Epistolary + weird cozy horror is my jam, thanks @breewernicke.bsky.social!

This week it was uncovered that the Trump regime is trying to "cure" trans prisoners of being transgender, while doing everything they can - from labeling our mere existence as explicit to stripping us of our legal documents - to ensure we *all* end up imprisoned in their ever-growing camps.

MC: depressed pacifist vampire Antag: beloved bloodthirsty sister Bonus Villain: manipulate mansplain manslaughter

If you’re on the fence about #RevPit, I’m always tempted to say you have nothing to lose + everything to gain. Which is true. But I also want to acknowledge that there are genuine reasons not to enter. So, I present you: Reasons Not to Enter the RevPit Annual Contest 🧵

I feel like midlist SFF is both vitally important and uniquely threatened right now because the midlist is where you find most of the queer, PoC, and otherwise marginalized authors. As well as a lot of really exciting books trying new things! Stuff that's not a "safe bet" but often a great read

H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Hey. Even if you didn't write a single word today, you're still a writer. Even if you dont write tomorrow. The whole week. Doesn't matter. Word counts don't make you a writer, my friends 💜

Discovered that the key to enjoying pitch events is to be VERY SILLY and write from the pov of my characters

Regrettably a vampire, forced from long slumber by humans with sunlight weapons, now on a dubious quest with a rude thrall (yes: you) to save our kind by warning my, er, apparently genocidal sister. Happy? #WSPit #Q #F #LGBT #Own

She’s a ten but also something else, there is something that seems to writhe under her skin. She’s a ten but you know that she isn’t anything, not really, that she appeared suddenly, and can disperse the same way, between pines and ferns, a pale hand dragging against sharp bark before disappearing
