Anna reads, loves, and reviews Wriggly Little Hands by @authoralexknight.bsky.social thewriteadvice.co.uk/2025/07/05/b...

Working with artists is really one of the best parts of being an author! I gotta give some time in the spotlight to the awesome art @dirtmossart.bsky.social did for Wriggly Little Hands. This piece immediately stole my heart! 😙

4 months streaming, just about. What a ride it’s been!

Update: they sold out in 2 days! AMAZING! Thank you to everyone who grabbed a signed copy! I'll post when they're back in stock. <3

I love giving artists fun prompts and letting them run! So how's about we shine a spotlight on the amazing work artists have created for my books based on the smallest of directions? Up first, chapter header art for Wriggly Little Hands created by the incredible @dirtmossart.bsky.social!

Today I saw my book on a bookstore shelf for the first time!! Oli the goblin and his cousins have taken over @booksbythebay.bsky.social in La Porte, TX. And by taken over, I mean are very responsibly taking up table space with signed copies available for purchase! tinyurl.com/ynj4nna5

Yesterday my silly little book charted on Amazon. It was overwhelming. Y’all are amazing and… TODAY YOU JUMPED IT ANOTHER 40+ spots! What is happening?! 💚

Y'all spiked Wriggly Little Hands into the top 100! Are you kidding me?! The love shown for this silly book about goblins on a road trip is blowing my mind! Y'all are amazing! 💚 If you don't have a copy, grab one here! books2read.com/u/3ypvQn

Happy Book Birthday to @authoralexknight.bsky.social Wriggly Little Hands is out today! You can read Nils’ review here: fantasy-hive.co.uk/2025/05/wrig... You can order your copy here: books2read.com/u/3ypvQn

This silly little book is finding its people. 💚 I’m fawning over these early reviews and just so, so glad folks are enjoying this goofy adventure! Full release is May 27th. Something wriggly this way comes… (link in bio)

I was told constantly that comedy books don’t sell, publishers didn’t want them. Every day I wrote, I had those thoughts in my head. But I pushed on to write this silly tale of goblins on a road trip. It’s been the most fulfilling book I’ve written. And now I get to share it with y’all on May 27th!💚

If the goblins could read they’d be ecstatic right now! 💚

Okay @authoralexknight.bsky.social is going to be offline, so I've got a chance to talk about this map that came with WRIGGLY LITTLE HANDS. I love me a map, and this one doesn't just give you the lay of the land, it gives you the vibe of the whole book, and the idiot goblins.

You know, you got a cute bookstore just down the way. I’m sure of it. Give it a look today

Social media is tricky for an author submerged up to their waist in non-disclosure agreements. So, many cool things happening that I cannot say a damn thing about. Instead, I shall just have to continue shouting about the cool things other authors are doing. For instance this upcoming book:

Recently updated this map for a watershed non-profit group to be vertical instead of horizontal. The original use-case was for tabling events, so we'd made it wide to get more of the map closer to the reader and save them from having to lean forward. The new layout is for signboards at boat ramps.

Greek coffee and grapes for breakfast is surprisingly lovely. Did not expect them to go together

Hello Womble! Today I'm reading the ARC of WRIGGLY LITTLE HANDS by Alex Knight. It is a comedic quest story about a group of goblins attempting to deliver a doomsday weapon to the dark lord with a great deal of hijinks preventing their success so far. I am having a blast. 📚💙

Every so often, there are incredible perks to being an author. Today, one of those perks came in the mail. Fab lil prizes and an advanced review copy of what is shaping up to be the best book I've read all year. The incredible, hillarious WRIGGLY LITTLE HANDS by @alexknightbooks.bsky.social 📚💙

I have goblin bookmail! @alexknightbooks.bsky.social kindly sent me his upcoming comedic fantasy, Wriggly Little Hands! Out 27th May “The final battle’s brewing between good & evil, the fate of the world rests in Oli’s wriggly little hands. Gods help us all.” — well this sounds like fun!

Our first ever map making live stream was so much fun we’ll have to do it again! Going forward, Friday streams will be for making fantasy maps!

Just bought South of Midnight (I was sold from the first trailer) and my good friend @gdpenman.bsky.social gifted me the original Spyro trilogy. It's gonna be a good weekend.

It takes weeks, months, sometimes years to write a book. But man, it feels good when folks say nice things about it! I’m so glad y’all are vibing with Servant of Rage!

The detail thoooooo! 🔥

I did a few writing streams and they kinda popped off, so it's a regular thing now. Viewers have said it's like Mr. Rogers / Bob Ross but for writing (not sure I can live up to those two!). If you wanna check it out, we're live weekdays 7-9am CT on TikTok and YouTube. linktr.ee/alexknightbo...

@aleemartinez.bsky.social Nice to see you here! Gil's All Fright Diner and In the Company of Ogres were pretty important books to young me. Definitely part of what inspired me to take on the job!

Sometimes, when a notification vibrates my phone, it’s fun to be like “WHO DARES APPROACH MY THRONE?” but then it’s like an Uber add or something and that’s less dramatic

Wanna try my #books but not sure where to start? Here's a quick and dirty guide ✨in a thread!✨

“Ah, yes. Exactly where I anticipated we’d emerge,” Jong said, squinting through the brilliant light. “In the. . . well, here.” You'll never take my beautiful idiots from me. I so love writing characters who're like 50% baseless confidence, 25% competent, and 25% sheer, dumb luck.

Look at what came out today! My sweet baby Alex's new progression fantasy book. You should go get it! You should get 10, and give them to all your friends and or neighbours. Buy the dang book, is what I'm saying.

A very Happy Book Birthday to @alexknightbooks.bsky.social - SERVANT OF RAGE is out today! “…earth-shattering fights, electrifying magical powers, and a meaningful investigation of the human condition.” You read @bethanmay.bsky.social review here: fantasy-hive.co.uk/2025/03/serv...

Wow! W&S really nailed the themes of Servant of Rage. It’s full of dramatic fight scenes and sinister magic, but at the core there’s a deep exploration of human nature beneath. Of brotherhood, honor, and duty to one’s people.

Happy publication day @alexknightbooks.bsky.social and #ServantOfRage! 'an exhilarating gut-punch of a book that packs it all – earth-shattering fights, electrifying magical powers, and a meaningful investigation of the human condition.' Find out more: linktr.ee/alexknightbo...

Servant of Rage is launched! It's my gritty fantasy about brotherhood, honor, and the sinister magic that'll tear them apart. You can grab your copy here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Beth was super excited to return to the Khanate in Alex Knight's reworked SERVANT OF RAGE, republished by Portal Books and out on 11th March: "an exhilarating gut-punch of a book that packs it all" More: buff.ly/uIlnNFA

Launch day Tuesday! :o

I tried to write “I’m usually at least decent at fish IDs” but autocorrect said “aids.” So hello everyone. I’m Alex Knight and I’m decent at fish aids. >.>

Three important messages!📚‼️

What'd I do this month as an author? You can read the full write up here (open.substack.com/.../p/prep-p...) or get the bullet points 👇👇👇

What I sent my cover artist...

Overkill? Me? Never! …okay, fine. I might have made a floor plan and 3D rendering of my office in preparation of buying new furniture.

Click clack!

Enough readers wanted signed bookplates that I had to restock! :D

I've been in a promo phase lately, but today kicks off the return to writing! Can you smell the ink in the air? Hear the pages ruffling? Oooh buddy it's good to be back!

Having an all-time book sales spreadsheet is cool. Maintaining it is only marginally less insanity-inducing than summoning Cthulhu themself.
