🧵My Taínofuturism novella, SORDIDEZ @stelliform.press, won the Indie Ink Award for "Writing the Future We Need: Latinx/Latine Representation by a Latinx/Latine author". What a wonderful way to kick off #HispanicHeritageMonth ! What an important institution for recognizing indie works. Gracias! 1/

this was such a lovely story--the structure, pacing, and prose are so tight. it doesn't shy away from the reality of war and rebellion but it has such a tender core of compassion to it

Forgot to post on here about Worldcon 2025!! Had a phenomenal time catching up with friends and making lots of new ones 💫 I left Seattle with a full heart and memories I’ll keep close forever 🥹💜💜

Please go read this gorgeous story by @traewrites.bsky.social. I can feel the cold in my bones and the push and pull of grief. It is a story about memory and loneliness and becoming, perhaps, un-lonely, in time.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! 💜💜

Looking forward to this new story by @traewrites.bsky.social Hawkins.

SURPRISE 🥹 I’ve dreamed of appearing in Beneath Ceaseless Skies ever since I started seriously writing and I’m so stoked my little story about weird lands, memories, trauma, and solidarity found a home here 💫 the ebook is out today!! Please support if you can!! 💜

I once took a 3-day Amtrak across the country because I was scared of flying and ended up conceptualizing, outlining, and partially drafting an entire novel during those three days 🤩 So my unhinged writing advice is to book that cross-country Amtrak and get to writing!

happy ✨cover✨ day (and some reading material for ya!)

So glad to see this story will be delighting even more readers soon. I knew @traewrites.bsky.social was doing something special as soon as I read the first line.

SO HONORED & EXCITED to be a part of this anthology and with so many insanely talented authors 🥹🌱❤️

Thinking a lot these last few months about how Anathema and FIYAH both launched in 2017. FIYAH's still going and Anathema's relaunching this year under a new masthead. (Been on hiatus a bit.) Making art under a fascist regime can feel impossible. Can feel unimportant. But it keeps the spirit alive.

Trying my absolute hardest not to shove vampires into a novel that definitely doesn’t need vampires 😭

The show-stopping, mind-numbingly beautiful anthology me and my extremely talented friends put together is on sale!! 💜 Lots of the stories are so, so important, especially right now books2read.com/newyearnewyo...

I've been drafting over 1k words every day but it's put me in a reading slump 😭 I've won but at what cost?!

So excited to share this book on poetry magic with the world. It's truly a story from my heart, and one I've been working very hard on! Thank you @reactorsff.bsky.social for the feature!

Ending my vague era with this: ✨I’m getting published!✨ So pumped to announce that my book SALT WATER BLOOD will be published with Simon & Schuster (US) + Allen & Unwin (ANZ) in 2026! Endless gratitude to my agent @marintakikawa.bsky.social & my editor Sarah Barley 💖 #booksky #writingcommunity

Took me forever to order a physical copy, but…! IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL 😭💜🥹 I wrote a little story about hope & humanity in a post-apocalyptic world based in the “ghost town” of Cairo, Illinois & I couldn’t be prouder 🥹

I’ve been scrambling to find my VP family on here! This is amazing 💜💜

I would be absolutely nothing with my semicolons and em dashes
