John Oliver says Bob Iger should use "the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away. And that is, 'fuck you, make me.'" youtu.be/ohPToBog_-g?...

Scam alert: a scammer is soliciting authors in the name of the Crime Writers Association, offering "trend analysis" and other bogus services. I suspect this is another of the Nigerian PR scams that are so prevalent right now thecwa.co.uk/news/beware-...

Aww, shucks! Thank you for the interview, @pintocomics.bsky.social !

I am Ann. I also love fall this much ❤️

It’s Banned Books Week! Go read a book they don’t want you to read!

Today's #PeterCadaver #comicstrip explores #vampire lunchtime. #kidscomics #KidLitSundayScaries

Hold up. This is real? What is happening?

I second this!

All I'm saying is that if I wrote a murder mystery and my entire story came down to texts the killer sent to someone that spelled out what exactly he did, my editor would tell me that is completely unbelievable

With all the bananas things happening and being said lately it just makes me wonder how many of these powerful men making these decisions are on that list?

1 week until WHY I LOVE HORROR is released into the world (unless you are at Parnassus Books on 9/18, you all get it a few days early). My release event (& fundraiser) with @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social @librarylagrange.bsky.social only has 36 spots left! lagrange.librarycalendar.com/event/becky-...

Thanks to Odd and Bookish for this 5-star #bookreview of my upcoming #graphicnovel. " I could totally see this book being turned into a Pixar movie because it has that quirky kind of premise that Pixar is known for." oddandbookish.wordpr...

Done!

Know what creates empathy? Books. Reading about people unlike ourselves and experiences we'll never have. Which is why some people want to remove those books and discourage reading. Kids and adults should read widely. Most spend their spare time online, which is where indoctrination often begins.

A #WriterBeware thread! 🧵 1. Have you just received an email like the one below from Excalibre Writers' Hub, touting itself as a "learning platform" with webinars, workshops, and author services, inviting you to become a member? Here are some thoughts. www.excalibrewritershub.com

People looking to work in publishing please be aware this salary is NOT acceptable. 4 days in office in NYC with that list of responsibilities for 42K? As someone who has been an assistant to high level executives & has worked in publishing... No. This is is not a serious offer.

Happy pub day to my amazing agent @annmrose.bsky.social! You’re one of the few people I’ll break my social media hiatus for 😉 Readers, don’t make me regret my decision… go buy it today!!

It's the last day to enter to win an ARC of #ThisHouseWillFeed on #Goodreads so enter the #giveaway today #newbook #irishhorror #historicalhorror #booksky #horrorsky

ONE MONTH until the book release event for my #mg #graphicnovel debut at @boulderbooks on 10/9. I hope you can join me for this event along with my editor, Kristie Choi. You can learn more about this and my book at EugeniaWangComic.com#mg#graphicnovel@SimonKids @TheTobiasAgency

Happy #bookbirthday to AN EMBROIDERY OF SOULS by Ruby Martinez. A perfect blend of magic, mystery, monsters and romance. Plus, look at that cover by @thistlemoon.bsky.social 😍 #booksky #Yafanyasyromance

Today is the official book birthday for A Hexcellent Chance to Fall in Love! Celebrate with me by doing something nice for yourself — like buying a book 😉❤️

#AskAgent Since algorithms on this site are weird I thought I’d open a #askagent for the month of September instead of trying to do one for a shortened period. So if you have a question post below & I’ll get to it when I can. Typos will always happen. ❤️

Anyone up for an #askagent Post your questions below and I will do my best to get to them. No I’m not on my elliptical, but typos will probably still happen because I don’t have my glasses on 😂

So wild! ❤️ I'm in hexcellent company 😉

What do Jen DeLuca and I have cooking up on Instagram? Consider checking it out...😉❤️

I don’t think Ladapo understands what the job of surgeon general is. He should resign and let someone competent take over.

Looks like there is a giveaway happening for my book over on Fable! It looks to be right there on their homepage ❤️

The next two months are going to be super busy but totally worth it! Not included on this list is my first trip ever across the pond! (cue the nerves) I hope you can make it out to one of my events. ❤️

Oh look there's a giveaway for my book www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

Another librarian is fighting back. Let’s help her.

We'll be starting in just a few minutes come and join us! #AskAgent #QueryTip

When you get a blurb like this you have to share it 🩷😭🩷 thanks so much @eraofemma.bsky.social

More local events because Houston is ginormous!

Here, fixed it.

Local friends... Book Launch info below!

I'm doing something fun with @annmrose.bsky.social over on the Gram. Give us both a follow & let us know what superpower you'd love to have. You could snag an advanced copy of A HEXCELLENT CHANCE TO FALL IN LOVE (that title!) & a signed paperback of SECRET SPARK! 📚 www.instagram.com/p/DNYOcE-gj6...

I'll be popping in and out of #QueerPit today. If I give you a ❤️ (or if I miss you) and you think we can be a good match please use the link in my pinned post. I'm looking for queer stories of all kinds! *Cracks knuckles... now let's get to it! ❤️

This also applies to cookie cakes! ❤️

I know where I will be tomorrow ❤️ #QueerPit

It's 2025, so why do so many female protagonists still feel cliché, flat, and one-dimensional? If you want to write female characters who are believable, authentic, and multifaceted, ask yourself these key questions. 🧵

Gotta love when you stumble across a good review of your book. ❤️🥲

@haileypiperfights.bsky.social's latest, A GAME IN YELLOW, is out now. It's scary, sexy, and psychologically thrilling. Pick it up, if you dare. www.simonandschuster.com/books/A-Game...

I know there is nothing real about reality TV but this new season of Project Runway is terrible! Like they’re trying to make it as dramatic as possible and it’s just annoying.

I recently discover croissant bread and my life will never be the same! ❤️😋
