The @nytimes.com asked me to write about the 20th anniversary (??!) of Twilight, and to recommend some books that have published since then that Twilight folks might love. Oh, this was SO FUN.

Happy paperback birthday to AT MIDNIGHT! I have a short story in here about a girl being turned into a log by a witch — I swear it’s surprisingly sexy! Please enjoy 🧙‍♀️

New Releases: September 30, 2025 Middle Grade A Little Too Haunted by Justine Pucella Winans The only thing worse than having ghost hunters for parents is having fake ghost hunters for parents. Luna Catalano would know. Her moms are haunted house flippers who use their home reno skills and pretend…

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

Finishing up 1PP for SOON BY YOU and God I love this book so much. I am so cautiously excited to release it into the world.

Was just scrolling my old notes in Evernote and found the first note ever written regarding the holiday antho that became FOR THE REST OF US. It was dated 3/2/17. When I say that antho was my dream for a long time, I really freaking mean it.

If you're a high school teacher (or librarian!) in the continental US and you want a copy of FOR THE REST OF US, a YA holiday anthology edited by @missdahlelama.dahliaadler.com, email me through my website (Katherine Locke Books dot com)! I have ~12 copies that I'd love to get into classrooms.

I loved this book! A great fall read.

I cannot express how MUCH I enjoyed this book!

It just looks so GOOD dressed in Library!

My brain is such a mess of the little ways I meant to promote my books and then just... didn't. Shouting about my books makes me so tired. But watching no one buy them somehow feeds that exhaustion. I do not enjoy this cycle.

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

Brendan Carr is an attorney. There is a new 501(c)(3) documenting in real time how attorneys like Carr facilitate the democratic backsliding of the United States. If you are a lawyer/law student, we need your help. DM me if interested.

Anyone who’s read Going Bicoastal knows my love for my subway musicians, and if you are near Times Square right now, highly recommend popping in to hear Joya Bravo slay “Despacito” on the electric violin

The straggler swooped in front of Judah to catch up, and his gaze instinctively dropped to the floor, but not before taking in an eyeful of dipped-in waist and curves upon curves; in that red, the effect was not entirely unlike Jessica Rabbit. #WIPSnips #SoonByYou

@loyaltybooks.bsky.social is one of my favorite bookstores I've never visited. If you're buying books for any reason, consider throwing some business their way. DC & the indie bookselling community can't afford to lose them, especially not to the current admn's BS. loyaltybookstores.com

Treehouse had about 33% of their funding cut this year, so if you can help support these kids during a vulnerable time, pls check out the link below 💚 every little bit helps

Judah Klein was never unprepared. He planned, he practiced, and--that one week before Pesach aside--he did everything exactly by the book. But he was not prepared to see Arielle Becker looking knockout beautiful at that party, her hair gleaming in the evening sunshine. #WIPSnips #SoonByYou

ICE killed a Chicago area man last week. His name was Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. He wasn't "the worst of the worst." He was a cook. ICE hopes we'll forget about him. We won't.

Fastest I have ever subscribed to anything

His tone was teasing, genial, but Dana couldn’t help hearing Evan in it, that undercurrent of “How dare you be something other than what I expected you to be?” that seeped into so many conversations. Who the hell did this guy think he was, talking to her like that? He didn’t even know her. #WIPSnips

I'm hoping the algo gets this to the people who need it. If you were at UVU or you saw the video, you should play Tetris. Preferably today. You don't have to be good at it. Research tells us that playing Tetris after traumatic events helps to disrupt your brain's long term storage of the memory.

Whoa, huge day for great authors of queer YA moving to MG...

"It was the first time she’d ever seen Zeke cleaned up, his beard neatly trimmed, his sun-kissed skin glowing against his clean white shirt, and it gave her a little twinge as if she were seeing a creature outside its natural habitat." #WIPSnips
