It's #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth and I want to remind everyone that I have detailed content warnings for all my books on my website (and I encourage all other authors to do the same). All of my books have #DisabilityRep and #MentalHealthRep. 🌈📚🌎💙📚 authorcaseywolfe.wordpress.com/novels/conte...

"One Bullet" by Casey Wolfe. The book cover is a dark blue background filled with stars, including a shooting star. A spent bullet cartridge casing sits at the bottom, yellow-orange smoke coming up from it, forming a background for the title.

"A Mage's Power" by Casey Wolfe. The Inquisition Trilogy, Book 1. The book cover is a POV looking up at a starry night sky, trees of a forest lining the bottom. A runic magic circle sits in the center of the cover, behind the title, as well as wispy pinkish smoke.

"A Vampire's Redemption" by Casey Wolfe. The Inquisition Trilogy, Book 2. The book cover has a lake surrounded by trees, a snow-capped mountain behind it. At the top, a wolf's face, focused in on the eyes, cast in blue and purple light. A full moon peaking through clouds sits in the top right corner. Wispy purple-pink smoke lays behind the title.

"An Elf's Fate" by Casey Wolfe. The Inquisition Trilogy, Book 3. The cover is a cliffside at night, overlooking the ocean. A lantern is lit sitting on a rock. In the distance a coastline with a forest. A full moon in a star-filled sky with purple-tinged clouds. Wispy burnt orange smoke accents the title, bleeding into the clouds.

Who’s ready to send in their #PitchDis entry this week?! Here are a few things to remember after you hit submit.

AFTER THE EVENT
Agents and editors won’t have access to pitches until September 16, so you won’t receive any requests before then. Requests will be sent out as they come in.
• If you receive a request:
o Make sure the agency or publisher is on the list of registered participants. If not, contact #PitchDis to verify (contactpitchdis@gmail.com, @pitchdis on Twitter, or @pitchdis.com on Bluesky).
o Research the agent/editor. If you have any doubts, feel free to reach out.
o Please follow any submission guidelines included in the request email.
• If you don’t receive a request:
o Remember that the number of requests during a pitch event is not indicative of the quality of your work.
o Keep querying – most people still connect with their agents this way.

The Roll Models Saga is the heartwarming story of overcoming adversity, accepting change, and loving someone just as they are. This is a story grounded in reality- the reality of life with a disability, but also the reality that life doesn’t end with #disability. It begins anew. #booksky

The cover of "Shattered." is an x-ray from the bottom of the ribs to the pelvis, with broken glass and bones with the letters Shattered. The first novel of the Roll Models Saga by D. A. Charles

The teaser for D. A. Charles' Shattered reads; He would find a way to carry the burden of his guilt the same way he'd learn to live with his physical limitations. PENANCE.

Disabled people shouldn’t have to ask for access, accommodations, or basic civil rights. The ableist system puts nondisabled folks in charge as gatekeepers, controlling what rights we get. That’s not justice — it’s exclusion. #Disability #HumanRights #SDGs #Poverty #Technology #Cinema #a11y
