Putting together my query pack this week has been much easier because I've been using this writers' resource page (resourcesforwriters.carrd.co) that the amazing @julesarbeaux.bsky.social has pulled together. For once I've enjoyed writing my synopsis (never been done). Thank you Jules, you're ace!

It's here! My poem about desire and hunger and destroying the thing you want by having it is free to read today on @heartlines-spec.com's website! So excited for this to be my first published poem. 😊💜 www.heartlines-spec.com/the-siren-af...

My first poetry publication, and at a venue I adore! Keep an eye out in March—I'll for sure be shouting again when this one is published. 💜

As a mom of two amazing kids, I'm totally here for "messy feelings around family," and I liked this story very much.

Heyyyy I'm raffling off a couple of tiny knitted creatures--hand-knit by yours truly--to raise funds for community aid organizations. That's right: you can own your very own wee knit beastie and help your community at the same time! Deets are in my latest newsletter: buttondown.com/JenniferHuda...

Happy book bday to another incredible queer book I had the pleasure of blurbing, by @julesarbeaux.bsky.social! 😍🌈 I adored these characters, and this is one of my faves of the year. Pick it up if you're a fan of yearning, hurt/comfort (Sena, my poor soft-boy punching-bag!), and lush prose.

Thanks so much to the Proud Geek bookshop! (Shop at independent bookstores!) ♥️💛💚💙💜

I had cause to recommend this excellent compendium of resources for writers again today, so I thought I'd post it here again. Thanks to @julesarbeaux.bsky.social for compiling it - resourcesforwriters.carrd.co

It's here! The gorgeous cover for my debut novel, How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days, publishing January 2026 with @orbitbooks.bsky.social! Thank you so much to my amazing illustrator, Raahat Kaduji, and equally amazing art director, Sophie Ellis, for giving this little book such a magical cover!

Incredibly pleased to announce that I exist! Hi all. I'm Jules and I write funky feelsy sci-fi and fantasy. Hopefully in the next month or so I'll get to scream about the beautiful cover for my second book! I have a cat named Merlin and she loves to cause problems.
