I cannot WAIT everyone to see what we’ve done for this anthology 👀

Fave purchase from the renfair today (shout out @yiskadesigns.bsky.social for gothy homeware needs)

Two bees (and a butterfly)

Look, it’s here, it’s beautiful!! 😍 Thanks as always to @starsandsabers.bsky.social for letting me be a part of this anthology.

“I think about the term ‘soulmates‘ and what that means. People always think it applies to romantic relationships, but over the years I’ve learned a thing or two about souls and how they connect with each other. It can be romantic, sure, but it can be other things too.”

Book 42 of 2026 Grief Eater by Emma Osbourne (ARC) I snagged this novella on Netgalley only knowing it was about zombies. And it was, but it was also so much more. It was a beautiful allegory about the trauma the queer community goes through when they won’t be loved by their family. 4.25/5 #booksky

It’s a new moon tonight. Perfect for setting your intentions and manifestation. Spellwork starts with YOU.

Happy book birthday to everyone in Omniboz!

This is something I love about anthologies—there is a variety of voices and experiences, and they are in conversation with each other. The opening and ending pieces shape the conversation.

DID YOU KNOW? Dystopian stories almost always play with disability and compulsory able-bodiedness, making it what I call a "crip genre". 🔥 That's why we're #CrippingDystopia in the upcoming disability in dytopia anthology! More info coming soon 😉 #booksky #writersky #disability

"Strange, tenuous and fragile as the fairy tradition is, the tradition is still there...Every now and then artists and writers draw on the tradition, and make something out of it suitable to the spirit of their age." - folklorist Katherine Briggs (1875-1968) Photo: Lottie in the Fairy Springs.

I intended from the start to celebrate L. Frank Baum's birthday with the release of Omniboz: Tales from the Land of Oz. We did it! Go buy it! www.starsandsabers.com/books/omnibo...

Delighted to announce that the listing for The Monstrous and The Divine (sapphic anthology) through @scyllapublishing.bsky.social can now be found here on Submission Grinder! thegrinder.diabolicalplots.com/Market/Index...

Did I just name a #WIP "Photosynthesis, Coronavirus & Dunsinane"? ... yes. Yup, it seems like I just did. 😅 #WritingCommunity

’She wasn’t *actually* talking about “male socialization.” In fact, it wouldn’t have surprised me if she, like many trans-woman-exclusionists, shifted her argument from “male socialization” to “male privilege” or “male energy“.’

Oooh I have super nostalgic feels towards the #Montsterhearts tabletop RPG and would LOVE to see a deckbuilding video game version of it in the world. If you feel the same, click that button, back this project!!

"Maul's queerness is never to blame for his cruelty. Neither his aromanticism nor asexuality render him incapable of fathoming the importance of another person." In today's news, Disney has scored itself a brand new queer-coded villain!

Interested in Omniboz but couldn’t commit to the crowdfund? We now have preorder links available, ahead of the MAY 15 release!!

It is with very deep pleasure that I share my first Publisher's Marketplace book deal announcement. Submissions for The Monstrous & the Divine are open through to 31 July 2026: www.scyllapublishing.com/anthology

If there’s anything chronic illness has taught me it’s how to keep going when everything is bleak. And by “keep going” I mean keep making art because that’s what proves to me I’m alive. ✌️

Absolutely thrilled to have this poem out now with Strange Horizons! It's a weird meditation on complicity in modern systems of oppression. Oh, yeah, and there's a mermaid!

Solarpunk horror?! “What scares us in a future where we’ve chosen healing?” Oof, that just about gave me chills. Time to start thinking about this, I think 🌅

Thanks Ian! I’m so glad you liked it. Here’s the link for anyone else interested: www.starsandsabers.com/books/shoesh...

I am SO EXCITED to reveal the cover of my new novella! WE, THE DROWNING is about a drowning death-cult at the end of the world and the boy who'll do anything to find out why his mother joined it. (Plus, it has a pink fairy armadillo ✨)

New story day! I wrote this ace / bi-romantic / magic school / portal story years ago, to help me find out my own place in (or across) worlds -- I'm so excited it finally found a home at @gavagai.com where it can help others! I hope you enjoy "Your Image in the World, and the World in Your Image"

CONSUMED WHOLE BONES AND ALL cronch

Ahhh looks like we have a pretty definitive answer here and I, for one, can't wait to see it!!

Don't let this novelette fool you into thinking it's about Peter Pan returning to our world. This retelling beyond J. M. Barrie's "Peter Pan" is one that left me wondering whether anyone who has been to Neverland ever truly *leaves* it. Just a phenomenal story by @apottern.bsky.social 💙📚

OMG @mariahaskins.com reviewed my novelette for @locusmag.bsky.social and had such very lovely things to say. Am I dreaming?? "Mother, Darling" @strangehorizons.bsky.social: strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...

I Hate weird teeth stuff so the fact I stuck through this book and loved it should count as extra accolades for it 🤭 ⚔️ 💙 📚️

Some Monday motivation for writers from Patrick Barb, author of THE NUT HOUSE (and lots of other great work). #mondaymotivation #motivationforwriters #peptalk #authors #writerlife #gettowork #patrickbarb @patrickbarb.bsky.social

Night Circus is bloody amazing.

I also wanna say, I’ve been looking forward to these like hell ever since I saw Jendia post it! 🎉 So grateful again at the groundswell of support that funded this project 😍

I personally think aussie creatives ARE too cautious about stripping the australianness out of their work for 'global appeal' - my most successful work was so fucking local that I thought about 12 people in my city would care, but it took off like mad. people can be more open minded than you think.

Did you see our beautiful, beautiful COMMON BONDS 3 cover? WELL HERE IT IS. Also, you're going to see it a lot more in the coming two months as I plaster the internet with it to convince you all to give us money to make a gorgeous aro anthology :3 www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Today, in reasons why I believe someone should option my feminist retelling of #Helen🏺 (now #TroyandSparta) 😅

happy #blackfaeday ♡

I’m Australian. We have a particular sense of humour here. The below question is never asked by a department. Something similar *is* asked by our peers. The question is, “Would you like fries with that?” which is, of course, the only vocational question an Arts degree is sure to prepare us for. 👌
