@qospress.bsky.social devouring this!! It’s insane in the best way. Highly recommended to anyone who loves queer specfic.

Can I love this enough? Probably not. I never seem to love things a normal amount. One of my fave writers dissects another fave writer on a subject I feel passionate about. Go. Read. reactormag.com/everyones-in...

Too true!! It takes more effort to hunt them down elsewhere but worth it!

The ASA welcomes the Albanese Government’s decision to rule out a Text and Data Mining (TDM) exception to Australian copyright law, which would have allowed for AI training on authors’ work. aapnews.aap.com.au/news/copyrig...

I need lesbian/queer/sapphic fantasy artist (think hyper realistic dragons, mythical figures, monsters) who is open for commissions and has time to do some work for me NOW. Ready to pay good rates, need finished product/s within ~3 months. Recommendations (or handraisers!) please?

How have I gone my whole life only NOW hearing about the idea of giving a book advent calendar to someone as a holiday gift? Genius.

OMG. Counting down 48 hours until @nicolaz.bsky.social re-release of the Aud Torvingen series released in Australia! Pre-ordered since May. Finally a lovely matching set. Good timing too, the cover just fell off my well-read copy of The Blue Place I’ve owned forever.

This is the kind of news I needed today. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

A brilliant character and a plot that's going places are enough for me. I don't need flowery, gorgeous language, and sometimes that's just a distraction - straightforward language and authenticity will connect with me.

Leans HEAVILY towards romance as this site tends to (and I'm good with that!). There's some great titles on this list, and it's nice coverage for indie and lesser known writers.

Truth. I’m off to Maclean’s in my home town of Newcastle NSW. macleansbooks.com.au

Picked up a copy of this on the long weekend. Seriously looking forward to it!
