The impact of free cover letter services at the library is enormous.

My dog is doing that thing toddlers do when they don’t want to play directly with you but also don’t want you to pay attention to anything else.

NO WARRIOR CAN FIGHT ALONE. ASK FOR HELP IF YOU NEED IT.

Endor wants you to know that the paperback of The Search for the Shadowsoul comes out next Tuesday 9/16!

Aw thanks! Yeah the story was so fun, I'm really glad we teamed up!

Introducing my little Ewok, Endor! Yes that is a C-3P0 toy and we are currently chilling watching RotJ

I know everything is a 5 alarm fire right now, but this is really important.

Let’s gooooooo

Humblebundle to support World Central Kitchen, and get a bunch of my books from @tordotcom.bsky.social including Murderbot and Witch King! #booksky www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

Absolutely loved this! MYTHMAKERS by John Hendrix. No spoilers but the beautiful ending had me crying (the good kind of tears).

I had such a blast writing a ton of tiny powered adventures for Polly Pocket! @sheafontana.bsky.social’s love and care for the show is evident, as is her brilliance. Make sure you check it out!

If you find any of your book or article titles in this database, you are probably a party to the class action lawsuit and it would be a good idea to fill out the contact form linked in the @authorsguild.org article: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

I’m re-reading something I drafted over a year ago and was worried it would be terrible and boring but instead I’m giggling the whole way through and feeling the protagonist’s wants in my bones and this is my favorite thing.

Excellent piece about the FL ruling and defense of literature in schools. floridapolitics.com/archives/751...

www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w... @angiethomas.bsky.social Stories are the very best kind of activism and magic!!!!! Gratitude for you and your words - ALWAYS. :)

Does your Writer occasionally make sounds of despair and disappear beneath a pile of cozy blankets? This is perfectly normal and no cause for alarm. Possible causes: receiving an editorial letter, being on deadline, being off deadline, crippling self-doubt, waiting for notes… #WriterCareManual

He’s actually just gonna find a mountain of pumpkin spice.

Found a big ol’ spider where I was NOT expecting it (kitchen sink) so yes I’m very awake now.

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

This is how gays will come to rule the earth.

I had a great chat with Gerald on The Corner of Story and Game podcast, where we delved into the writing and worldbuilding of existing IPs, the challenges, opportunities, and how rewarding it is to engage with its myriad writers and fans.

To care for your Writer, make sure you have a robust and varied supply of chocolate on hand at all times. Let them decide if they want just a nibble or an entire Costco sheet cake. #WriterCareManual

I would like bustling hedgehogs to serve me cordial because there’s no way this isn’t adorable.

I’m reading @markwaid.bsky.social’s Fantastic Four run and Johnny has a li’l speech about how Doom has been controlling Latveria’s media to make the FF out as the worst of the worst and now I’m obsessed with the idea of Latverian Public Broadcasting??

Today a kid asked me if there’d be a third HOLLOWER book and honestly that’s the greatest compliment I could ask for.

The early recess called in the House of Representatives means that the Appropriations committee didn't yet markup the budget related to the future of the IMLS. What this means & what you can do to save public libraries & museums across the country: bookriot.com/imls-funding...

Tonight's sunset clouds were dramatic.

I love my niblings unconditionally but when I say “hey can you be my test run for a new writing workshop I’m teaching” and they immediately say yes my heart sure does soar.

Donating is easy and quick and even a few bucks helps!

Do you work in a library and have thoughts or experiences about the mental health realities of the work? I want to hear from you in the anonymous survey below. Feel free to share. More information about the survey and its goals are in the survey itself. Thank you!!!

Today I went to the library to pick up some holds and the amount of joy I felt just being surrounded by books was a much needed dose of rejuvenation 📚🎉📚🎉

“Surprisingly, the benefits were seen even for people who didn’t read. While the connection was stronger among regular readers, even nonreaders were healthier in cities with more library books.”

Over on Instagram, I made a handy and highly sharable carousel about how we can still save the Institute of Museum and Library Services, if you'd like to pass that to your friends, family, and networks there, too. nb: it's "of" and not "for," but I'm not editing. www.instagram.com/p/DL5UK0KxQbM/

Hey, a bunch of the DC Super Hero Girls movies that I wrote are now on YouTube. Get 'em in your eyeballs! comicbook.com/movies/news/...

We're in the "plug an IV of hot chocolate directly into my veins" stage of this deadline.

Always a thrill when the library emails me to say my holds are available (libraries are GREAT please get a library card 10/10 public institutions)

CDPR is hiring for a bunch of game jobs, y'all. No writing roles on my team at this moment, but lots of other positions. It's a really good place to land www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs

hey I am posting this because I didn't know it, and so others might not either: but the BBB has NOT PASSED YET-- it's passed the senate & now it must pass the house. It's time to call reps RIGHT NOW. Johnson is going to push the vote ASAP before backlash can form so the calls need to start NOW.

Two years ago my debut novel THE HUNT FOR THE HOLLOWER hit shelves! This is the book of my heart and I still love every word of it. So much of me is in this. I learned so much about writing, and being a writer, because of it. Whenever readers tell me they loved it I am delighted and honored. 1/5

Remembering other studios saying that their pretty lady characters have to always look pretty and appealing and can't make weird faces, seeing the expressions on the kpop demon hunter gals is just...a much needed and appreciated thing.

Our statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling in Mahmoud v Taylor. Image thread with alt text. 1/4

I have filled my teapot with hot chocolate and feel like a genius. A dainty, fancy genius. Why yes I AM still on deadline, how did you know
