I think I am announcing it first here! I am switching For Those Who Seek Magic over to self publishing. This is a long time coming, as it is I think a bit too weird for traditional publishing and I have made my peace with that. #writingcommunity #ampublishing #publishingnews #neres

For the first time I am writing a violent protagonist, and it's been super fun! At the same time, it's a bit stressful...and very different #writingcommunity #stories #queerauthors #amdrafting

Mhm. I am working on a new book and have absolutely put zero effort in ANY of my other books lately as a result. Sounds about right. #writingcommunity #stories #writing #books

BREAKING NEWS: I'm actually happy with my synopsis. So...something must be wrong. With me or the query or the book. Because that should be impossible 😱 #writingcommunity #stories #funny #queerauthors

Holy crap. I'm ready to query. It's absolutely terrifying, I gave myself until September, and I wasn't prepared to get ready early. I have done this twice before, never to any success. Yay? Maybe boo. Terrified is probably the best word. #writingcommunity #querying #publishing

#writingcommunity, what is our takes on comping adult books when your book is YA? I have two YA comps, but I want a satirical fantasy book in there, (specifically How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying) to explain my tone. I have looked for a YA satirical fantasy and simply can't find one.

I get that the internet is going to internet, but geez, sometimes you post something and a comment gets right at your insecurities! There's a reason I want to be a suave and mysterious writer...not a content creator 🫠 #writingcommunity #stories #posting #internet #instagram
