Would you read a sapphic college marching band romance? I hope so, because that's what I'm querying. Love Notes is a story about two women deciding how much of themselves to share with the world and each other while navigating life, love and college marching band. ❤️ 🎺 #amquerying #writing

LOVE NOTES: Two women grow and heal together while navigating the trials of love, life and college marching band. 🎺🎵 84k new adult, sapphic sports romance I can't believe I missed #queerpit! Shocked to discover my story is still very gay even outside of June and queer pit. 😘 #NA #R #amquerying

Text that reads, "Ivy has her life under control (this is a lie)." The text is on top of four images with bright colors: hands holding a lesbian flag, a classroom of students, a trumpet player in a marching band and a crushed piggy bank.

Text that reads, "Sloane doesn't need anyone (also a lie)." The text is on top of four images with dim, muted colors: two hands touching, a brick clock tower on a college campus, a trumpet player in a jazz band and a silhouette of female figure with her head in her hands.

Text that reads, "Neither expected a marching band meet cute." The text is on top of four images: two women with their backs to the camera and rainbow flags in their back pockets, sheets of music, hands with painted nails holding a trumpet, and a top down view of a college library building.

I love the classic romance novel vibes of the Rainbow Crate edition of Make Room for Love by Darcy Liao. I loved these characters and particularly enjoyed the audiobook. I took a break from my MS to read while I wait for edits. This had the perfect balance of cozy and fight the power for me. ❤️

This rainbow crosswalk in Olympia (it exists outside of June, even!) makes me happy every time I see it. I'm elbow-deep editing my current manuscript (a sapphic, new adult, sports romance) and definitely not putting it off to stare at colorful pictures on social media. 😬

Happy Pride! 💓🧡💛💚💙💜 I swapped poetry with a friend recently and it made me realize how much I missed reading, writing and listening to poetry. I picked this collection up to add a little more poetry to a recent trip and was reminded how much emotion and meaning we can convey in short form styles.

A multi-colored book cover that reads "Love is for all of us, poems of tenderness and belonging from the lgbtq+community and friends. Edited by James Crews & Brad Peacock. Foreword by Richard Blanco. Art by Lisa Congdon."

I have twice now had Threads lock my account and require verification immediately after following/engaging with queer creators... Has anybody else encountered this? It required me to prove I wasn't a bot, get a verification code by text AND submit a selfie.

The Threads icon above text stating "You submitted an appeal on May 1, 2026" with information about how long it will take to review the appeal (about one day). Below that the words "What happens next?" with text describing that the account is being reviewed to confirm it follows Threads community standards.
