Just finished 'Girl, Goddess, Queen' by @beafitzgerald.bsky.social and I LOVED IT. I really appreciated how it touched dark topics, and the snarky romance. The way the dramatic irony was laid out was AmAzInG! I love how far Persephone came and I really liked the full re-imagining. #booksky #books

So many copies but I've actually already read it 💚 Proofs of my grumpy/sunshine reimagining of the myth of Pandora, A Beautiful Evil, are slowly making their way out into the world!

A wonderful pre-Christmas treat in the form of this blurb from the truly scrumptious @beafitzgerald.bsky.social! Thank you for reading SOME BODY LIKE ME! 💜🩵 2025 is going to be her year….

I have many thoughts on that editorial ranking but as so many others have expressed it better I'll leave mine at: so weird they didn't give my editors bonus points for acquiring someone who is so chill, funny and delightful to work with, which are the most important metrics to analyse

Um, any other writers finding their Spotify wrapped is really personal this year?

Waterstones are offering double and triple points all weekend (including on pre-orders!) but I’ve lost all ability to pitch my books in new and exciting ways so behold, new and very silly ways: www.waterstones.com/author/bea-f...

Had a rough day/ weekend/ year? Allow me to recommend a book that had me giggling all the way through and left me feeling so fucking happy. The best rom-com I've read in a while! @beafitzgerald.bsky.social

Then Things Went Dark is only 99p in today’s Kindle Daily Deal! It’s a queer, sunkissed dramatic and chaotic murder mystery about six contestants on a reality show whose every episode is pushing them closer to the edge… and maybe even to murder www.amazon.co.uk/Then-Things-...

Using my first Bluesky post to announce my new book!! I’m so excited to publish A Beautiful Evil - my YA Grumpy/Sunshine reimagining of the myth of Pandora 💚 It’s like if Barbie were set in Ancient Greece and the answer to “what was I made for” was “great evil, apparently” linktr.ee/beafitzgerald
