Happy Pride!! If you’re looking to support a queer author, hi! I’ve got a sapphic middle grade equestrian series out now. ❤️🏳️‍🌈🫶

I can personally vouch for this fundraiser. This is a kidlit member who is so generous, so beloved, and very much in need - they’ve helped me and I adore them. Please please donate if you can. 💖

Congratulations @woodsandwaxelbaum.bsky.social - incredible cover!

Surprise! I got to write another book for Marvel, this time about my beloved White Widow, Yelena Belova! This gorgeous cover was created by artist Matt Taylor and designer Kurt Hartman and I am so obsessed with it! Book is out in September and you can pre-order it now! bit.ly/whitewidowsecretsisters

#STAYinLA wants to hear from people of all walks of life who have been affected by the lack of production in Los Angeles. If you're willing, please share your story as we fight to bring production back to our great city!

Between Los Angeles burning (literally), America burning (figuratively), norovirus taking my family down, a brutal book deadline (met! submitted! exhausted!), a family’s member’s heart attack yesterday, and a postponed business trip today, January has felt like ten thousand years.

Wash your hands was once controversial medical advice. Lead in paint and gas was the norm. The Clean Water Act didn't pass until 1972. With wildfires, smoke, pollution and pandemics part of our reality, we need a national push for clean indoor air & high-quality filtration standards.

From 2023 but evergreen. If you want to help, give money. Cash is king. hazards.colorado.edu/news/researc....

Another very underfunded GoFundMe to consider: My babysitter's friend, who evacuated with her children, including a disabled child who couldn't bring her special wheelchair. They are rebuilding from scratch and lost everything. Every little bit helps. ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/support-a-...

"...the real finger-pointing that should be taking place is at the oil companies and the continued reliance on fossil energy, which is disturbing the climate.” variety.com/2025/biz/new...

Saw a man in the toy aisle of Target yesterday who looked like he'd survived the apocalypse: grief etched into every line of his face. LA's in a weird place. Fires spreading, winds shifting, evac orders lifting in one area as phones blare with alarms in others. Life goes on, tentative but fragile.

Los Angeles teachers, if you lost your classroom library in the fire, I am a HS English teacher and YA author and I will get you books whenever you're ready for them. The bookish community is here for you. There is no expiration date. tinyurl.com/LAFireBookDo...

If you are looking for a GoFundMe which has barely received any love, please consider my babysitter’s friend. While her boyfriend was busy saving animals (most were saved thanks to their hard work!), their home burned down and all their belongings were destroyed. 💔 www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-o...

As we move into a future with extreme climate disasters, income inequality, AI-driven sector soft-collapse, housing instability, and an aging boomer care crisis, I can’t stop thinking about how COMMUNITY is more important than ever. For the next decade. For the next 20 years. For our lifetimes.

CleanAirLA is working on distributing respirators today in Hollywood. If you have respirators to donate or are in need of them please come by: Amoeba Music Hollywood 6200 Hollywood Blvd 90028 Friday 1/10 from 1-5pm #CalFires #SoCal #LosAngeles #MutualAid

Remember that amazing What If...? episode where Strange lost his heart instead of his hands? Dark Strange? A.C. wrote that. If you have the means to toss some money in the hat to help her and her daughter rebuild, that would be rad of you.

This gorgeous pup was found in the Palisades, If he looks familiar or is yours, please get in touch. Please share and let's reunite.

If purifiers near you in LA are sold out, this is a good opportunity to get a discounted one faster than am*zon can ship it

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Ben Mekler ( @benmekler.bsky.social ) who many of us know from Screenwriting Twitter and/or the WGA strike lines has lost his home, shortly after welcoming his second child. www.gofundme.com/f/ben-and-ki...

All, the Pasadena Humane Society is asking for donations - they're taking in animals right now, and are also preparing to evacuate if needed. Please consider helping:

My LA people, I put together a list of resources for us! And even for you, reading this outside of LA, you can also help! Share and stay safe, my friends. 💔

My third annual "this is what life is like as a working writer in Hollywood" Substack. Sold a show! Two finished specs! Many failed pitches! Baby's first Deadline! The ups, the downs, the hustle hustle hustle, here: nadinejoliecourtney.substack.com/p/2024-a-wor...

One million seconds is 11.5 days. One billion seconds is 31 years. 429 billion seconds is 13,603 years. Now substitute the word ‘seconds’ for ‘dollars.’

Holy book-to-film deal. Seven figures for an option! Lots of high-profile, high-dollar deals recently. 👀 deadline.com/2024/12/quic...

Committing to the Substack thing with a new pub name: Plot Twist! Annual “Year in the Life” recap forthcoming—pulling back the curtain on Hollywood’s ups and downs as a working (but not yet A-list) writer. Vibes: personal stories + no bullshit book-to-film advice nadinejoliecourtney.substack.com

Is it an elder millennial thing or just me: I think differently typing on my phone versus on my computer. Am literally incapable of sophisticated thought typing with my thumbs. (Exhibit A: this half-baked post.) If an email is really important, I have to type on my laptop. Anybody else? Bueller?

Some days, you write. Some days, you research, “Can alligators help dispose a body in the Florida swamp?” and call it world-building. Your process may vary.

Used to be Professionally Online and now I have NO idea what to post. So, hi? Guess an intro is in order? Author of 4 books turned working screenwriter. Deadline just announced my first movie, an action thriller about climate change! Various projects on deck, grateful to write for a living. 👋❤️
