I don’t want to create more trope discourse. But just remember that your story doesn’t have to be strictly classifiable. It doesn’t have to follow any specific story or plot beat. It can still be genre and be super weird and awesome, like work by Chip Delany or Violet Allen or even Michael Ende.

new pinned post 🧵 hellooooooo I'm E (they/she) the #author of THE LORD OF THE WOOD (2026) and THE KEEPER OF LONELY SPIRITS (2025), as well as various short stories more links are threaded, but here's a link to more info about about my two current novels: www.harpercollins.com/blogs/author...

E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood and The Keeper of Lonely Spirits against a starry night background, above a link: ElizMAnderson(dot)Com(slash)Links. The Lord of the Wood's cover is blue, paler at the center and darker at the edges, with a stag of flowers and foliage growing from a twisted tree with flowers growing around it and black ooze dripping from a branch overhead. the title "The Lord of the Wood" is in large white serif text to the left, with foliage growing through the letters closest to the tree, and the author "E.M. Anderson" is in all-caps yellow text at the bottom. the tagline, in smaller yellow text, reads, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..." The Keeper of Lonely Spirits's cover features a lonely cottage, surrounded by headstones, with smoke drifting from the chimney, atop a tall green hill dotted with trees and yellow flowers, against a starry sky. the title "The Keeper of Lonely Spirits" is centered in all-caps sans-serif yellow text, with "E.M." Anderson in smaller white text at the bottom. Tagline in still smaller text at the top reads, "Living forever can be mighty lonesome."

"When lonely clockmaker Arthur Throckmorton loses his way in an enchanted forest, he meets the hero of his childhood bedtime stories: the Lord of the Wood. But instead of the mythical figure of his dreams, the Lord of the Wood is a grim man turning into a beast and losing power over a dying forest. If they can’t save the forest before he becomes a beast completely, Arthur will lose the man he's falling for—and never see his family again." E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood: out now. The cover is blue, paler at the center and darker at the edges, with a central image of a stag of foliage and flowers growing from a tree whose upper branches drip black ooze and the tagline, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..." Text and book cover are in a translucent textbox against a photo of a silhouetted stag in a misty golden meadow.

"An old man cursed with immortality hunts ghosts rather than making mortal friends who will die one day. When residents of an Ohio town beset by a vengeful spirit adopt him as their own, he must decide: leave to protect his heart, or stay to save their lives?" EM. Anderson's The Keeper of Lonely Spirits: out now. The cover features a lonely cottage, surrounded by headstones, with smoke drifting from the chimney, atop a tall green hill dotted with trees and yellow flowers, against a starry sky, wiht the tagline, "Living forever can be mighty lonesome..." Text and cover in a translucent textbox against a photo of yellow flowers in the sunset.
