If you're over on IG, I'm running a giveaway for a signed advance copy of my debut! 💙📚 www.instagram.com/p/DRINMb1kgej/

Contract signed, so I'm thrilled to announce my poem, "There are lonely things in the forest" will be coming out with @thedeadlands.com next year. i wrote it because I loved Mary Oliver's Wild Geese so much, so much that it hurt and it kinda spilt over.

Just an author trying to keep up with social media here, but hey!! I got my dream narrator for Robbie McNeil's Hit List! I'm thrilled to have Mara Wilson narrating and grateful to my pub team for making it happen! It's available for pre-order wherever you get your audiobooks! #WritingCommunity 📚💙

Available now!! I’m so thrilled to share the audiobook of Less than Perfect with you today. You can listen now on Spotify, and all audiobook platforms! open.spotify.com/show/1yhs3TE...

Goal unlocked that I didn’t even know I had until it just happened: being on the same list as a client (@briannahwrites.bsky.social) 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I continue to be incapable of maintaining multiple social media platforms, but hi, I'm still alive and also I wrote a thing about some publishing struggle feels... briannaheath.substack.com/p/juggling-a...

I'm very bad at having more than one social media, so I've neglected bsky over here, but popping up with my latest blog post! open.substack.com/pub/briannah...

New blog post up! Hoping this one is helpful for #AmQuerying folks. I break down the process I went through refining my query letter into the version that eventually got me an agent. #WritingCommunity open.substack.com/pub/briannah...

Me: I really should do my laundry. It feels like it's been a while. The spider who's taken up residence in my washing machine: Excuse me, who the fuck are you???

Ah! Do NOT miss this giveaway! www.goodreads.com/giveaway/ent...

Being delighted and entertained by my own writing never gets old. I know the goal is to write something other readers will enjoy, but I am always the target audience and I love this book.

Me over here making notes on my blurb request spreadsheet 👀👀👀 (This is a super helpful post that makes the process seem way less daunting!)

A fantasy where all the sources of magical power in the world were being depleted and one girl could create power from nothing and needed to, obviously, save the world. (Actually 1 other person had her power, so I made them friends and then killed off that character. For the angst. As you do.)

Help a gal and add BRIGHT CITY, SHATTERED to your want-to-read shelf on Goodreads! It's free and will make my day ❤️

New post about the long and winding journey my book went through for its final title! It's been quite the adventure for my little change-averse heart 😅 But I am learning not to put too much pressure on myself to come up with perfect titles for new WIPs.

Not me making a firm rule of no more requesting things on NetGalley until I catch up on my current shelf, and then immediately breaking that the second I realized @allietherin.bsky.social's latest (Vicounts & Villainy) was up... 👀👀👀

Coming out of my writing cave (& doing just fine). I finished my latest book! And let's agree, writing a book can be HARD! If you're struggling, my mentor @realjacksonford.bsky.social has a free guide to help you to the finish line! jacksonfordauthor.com/newsletter #WritingCommunity #AmDrafting

Real publishers don’t ask you for money. Real agents don’t ask you for money.

Back on my blog shenanigans! Having a call with an agent is really exciting and also ULTIMATE BRAIN CHAOS TIME. So here's a bit about what I did to help tame the brain chaos before my first agent call last year! open.substack.com/pub/briannah...

Reminder to agents that it only takes a minute to go remove "why are you the best person to tell this story?" from your QM form and stop making authors uncomfortable/making marginalized authors feel like they have to disclose parts of their identity they don't want to! #AskAgent #WritingCommunity

The auction is LIVE! We have incredible items up for grabs—from signed copies of rare and fabulous books to agent critiques and more. Please check it out, boost, share, and participate if you can. Every bit helps! www.32auctions.com/HelpSoumiReb...

Have hit the 50% mark for my new WIP so I thought I'd throw together a little guide to celebrate... 👀🗡️🏚️

Did I attend a Catholic funeral mass this morning with a priest who didn't seem to know what he was doing? Yes. Do I want to write a book now with a grifter who pretends to be a priest and is very bad at it? Also yes 😂

Thanks to Girl Talk HQ for inviting me to guest post on my favorite topic - why a romance and sci-fi genre mashup is poised to be the next BIG THING. www.girltalkhq.com/why-a-romanc... #booksky

In the nicest way possible, nobody cares about you. They're in their own worlds with their own worries and not caring about you or some awkward thing you said/did that you keep dwelling on. You do not need to spend time worrying others think badly of you because they're not thinking of you at all.

Data 👀👀👀 (Also go pre-order!)

They came for 1 last trip—a nice hotel, some laughs, a chance to bond. When a storm traps them at Hotel Adair bodies pile up. They don’t feel like accidents. Secrets slip. Reality warps. They realize the hotel isn’t just keeping them safe. 🩸It’s keeping them.🩸 #A #H #QuestPit

A fun fact about my drafting process is no matter how many words I write in a day, I will never think it's enough. #AmDrafting #WritingCommunity

OK but look how cute this cover is!!!

🌟UPCOMING AUCTION 🌟 I'm grateful to the writing community for launching a literary auction on May 9 to help my survival. Please boost and participate. Stay tuned for the link in the next few days. 👀 In the meantime, here’s a teaser of what’s being offered:

I think a lot about how there are "social skills programs" that exist essentially to train ND people to follow NT norms, but I still want to create a social skills program that trains NT people to change their behaviors for ND people's comfort because why can't they do the work?

I have had such a great time with all of you over the past 2 weeks!! As our last #CRPBees prompt, show off a snippet of your writing you're especially proud of AND/OR tag a talented fellow camper you admire/learned from. (If posting a screenshot/snippet image, make sure to add alt text!)

Camp is almost over, but let's set some targets to hit after you go! What is your writing goal for the next week? The next month? Longer? (This can be word count, a project you want to start/finish/make progress on, or any other kind of goal!) #CRPBees #CampRevPit
