Idc how obnoxious it is, I’m obsessed with these book earrings 😭🥰

Late Nights at Fullmoon Records by @saraheedmonds.bsky.social is a wonderful cozy novella-length, horror adjacent story perfect for the autumn.

✨Book news ✨ I’m incredibly excited to work with @ltdavila.bsky.social and @inkedingraypress.bsky.social on my first full length novel! EVERY BREATH (forthcoming 2027) is an adult speculative romance novel full of Norse mythology and Icelandic folklore. I can’t wait to share it with you all ❤️

Currently planning a seminar for an MFA residency next week and it’s SO surreal to have gone through the program and now be invited back as a visiting author 🥹

Pretty books are my love language 💕

I get to pick up the prettiest set of embossed hardcover Jane Austen novels today and I’m so excited 😍

Just got some fun short story news 🎉👻

I have been absolutely dying to shout about something ✨exciting✨ for months now and I am VERY close to being able to! (The silence is mostly self-imposed lol but) I am practically vibrating at this point lmao

Had the best time at “A Queer Book Fair” last night!! ❤️❤️❤️ shout out to my mom for letting me drag her along (jk, she’s the best ☺️) (P.S. If you zoom in on the table in the first pic you might learn a secret 🤫 or maybe not, idk if the photo quality is clear enough lol)

So stoked to be a part of the Queer Book Fair this year!! I’ll be reading and will have a few books for sale, so stop on by if you’re in the area! 🥰

Well, it’s happened. Publishing scientific research has officially led to me being asked to peer review for a scientific journal. My Masters’ are in English and Creative Writing. I have never felt more under qualified in my life lmao

Bottled some pomegranate/cranberry and some pine/maple mead the other day! Off to get more honey later this week. Any suggestions for what flavors I should make next?? 👀

The fact that all of my students work exclusively in Google Docs hurts my soul 😩 I get it, I do, but the joy of writing without needing to be connected to the internet is truly unmatched 💚

It's a lifestyle... 😊📖💕 #amreading #reading #books #amwriting #writingcommunity #writing #booklove #bookworm #writerslife #stories

Recently managed to claim my author page on Goodreads and get the title list all sorted out on there and this weirdly feels like a significant milestone (it’s probably not lol but still….😅)

Just opened a shipment from @stanchion.bsky.social (that’s been sitting on my desk a while tbh 😅) and I can’t wait to read all of these! I got the copies of Abigail E. Myers’ “The Last Analog Teenagers” for my creative writing students and they’re going to LOVE them 😍

Some books I’ve been relying on for research as I work on a special super secret project 👀

Happy Birthday in the afterlife, Bisexual Goth Daddy Vincent Price.

Are you working on a novel this summer? Join me in September for four weeks on developing plot and structure. Perfect for analyzing a rough draft and kicking off revision--or breaking through the messy middle if you get stuck. @writingco-lab.bsky.social

Motivational tableware before conducting some interviews for @forpageandscreen.bsky.social today 💛

i couldn't remember the word "polyamorous" and just referred to someone having "free-range partners" and i need to tell someone because no one in the house would appreciate this

It’s sort of killing me inside to post this but…I kind of made a TikTok account and nothing’s posted yet but maybe let’s connect so I’ll feel guilted into actually using it? 😅 www.tiktok.com/@sarah.e.edm...

One of my editing goals for my latest project is to cut like…40k words or so 😅 I have my supervisor here lol but wish me luck!! 🤞

If you’re ever sad, remember the earth is 4.5 billion years old yet you somehow managed to exist at the same time as your cat.

I don’t want to “streamline” my writing. I don’t want to “increase my output.” I don’t want to “write a novel with one click.” I want to write stuff only I can write. I want to read and write novels with soul and heart and a unique voice. Fuck AI. Long live real writers.

Horror has ruined me. Our flight to Prague is delayed. Announcement: "we're awaiting the arrival of valuable cargo, as soon as that's aboard we will depart." My brain: that's definitely definitely a vampire coffin.

Plants and poetry! I’m perhaps unreasonably excited that “Resurrection of the Ferns” is now available to purchase from Rosedale Growers’ garden shop in Quakertown, PA 💚

Is it bad that I only just now realized we can pin posts on here? 😅 anyway, here are my cheesy canva posts about my books in case you want to check them out 💛

Currently reading and providing thesis feedback for an MFA program and it still blows my mind that I get to do this 💛💛

Just realized I never shared my latest book-themed tattoo! Unlike Late Nights, this one isn’t an exact cover but more inspired by the content/title 🌿

Agent @theoriginalison.bsky.social on assignment in Los Angeles! 🕵️‍♀️ So cool seeing many Thirty West friends & authors in one place.

So excited to share that my first ever poetry chapbook is now available from Bottlecap Press! I’ve never considered myself much of a poet, so this is surreal and I’m so so grateful ❤️❤️ You can check it out at the link below! bottlecap.press/products/fer...

Completely overwhelmed by how freaking cool it is to hear actual actors(!!!!) read a scene from my screenplay “Kevin’s Not Dead” 😭💛 so grateful to be selected as a winner for the WILDsound Feedback Film Festival!!!! 💛💛💛💛 www.wildsound.ca/videos/kevin...

"Society...imposes labels such as "wrong" or "monstrous" upon those they don’t understand. Building community amidst that, recognizing the beauty in spite of that, is an integral part of building the heart of the #horror genre." @saraheedmonds.bsky.social to BoC bitchesoncomics.com/late-nights-...

Thirty West 🤝 Parks Having a fun reading Thanks to @saraheedmonds.bsky.social Josh and Maddy for reading, loved ones that accompanied, and curious hikers who stopped for a moment. We hope your day was made as much as ours. Where should we go next?

An absolutely amazing night!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
