Thank you to everyone posting about Brian & Wendy Froud's new book, containing 72 new paintings with literary responses by 37 women writers of diverse backgrounds, landscapes & mythic traditions. Having worked on the project for the last two years, we've all been moved by the enthusiastic response.

Image: One of Brian Froud's paintings for the book, called Grandmother Wood. Brian's mythic Green Women come in a wide range of guises, ages, and moods from light to dark. The response to this image was written by American novelist Delia Sherman.

Voices of the Green Women is such a special book! I'm so pleased to have been a small part of it. @terriwindling.bsky.social and Brian have created something truly magical—and now it's out in the world to spread its wisdom and beauty. <3

It was a honour to help Brian & Wendy Froud (artists, folklorists, and the puppet film designers behind The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth) to turn their vision for this book into reality. Happy Book Publication Day to both of them, and to all the brilliant women writers who contributed to the volume.

Photograph: A copy of "Brian Froud's Green Women" sits on a background of moss. The book contains "provocative portraits from the grandfather of faerie art Brian Froud," along with "words and stories of fantasy and myth from acclaimed women writers around the world." The book's publication day is October 6. Publisher: Abrams Books, New York.

A lot of time they're relieved, I've found. It offers confirmation of what they're dealing with.

Hey MG & YA writers! I'm doing a session on revision for the @lkbfstorytellers.bsky.social conference in September, and I'd love to know: What revision notes are YOU getting most commonly or struggling with? What do you want to know from an editor now? AMA, as all is useful . . .

English writer Mary Wollstonecraft was born #OTD in 1759. Best known for her book, 𝘈 𝘝𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 (1792). It is a foundational text for feminism that argued for equal education and rights for women--challenging the notion of female inferiority. #literature #litsky #booksky

A split-image composition featuring two historical elements side by side. On the left is an oil portrait painting of Mary Wollstonecraft, the 18th-century British philosopher and advocate for women's rights. She is depicted as a young woman in her late 20s or early 30s with fair skin, rosy cheeks, and auburn hair tucked under a black cap. She wears a simple white muslin gown draped loosely across her shoulders and chest in a classical, flowing style. Her expression is calm and thoughtful, gazing to the left with soft brown eyes against a dark, shadowy background that gives the portrait a dramatic, introspective mood. On the right is a close-up photograph of the title page from the first edition of her seminal work, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). The text is printed in elegant 18th-century typography with black ink on aged, slightly yellowed paper. The full title reads: "A VINDICATION OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN: WITH STRICTURES ON POLITICAL AND MORAL SUBJECTS. By MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT." Below are publication details: "LONDON: PRINTED FOR J. JOHNSON, N° 72, ST. PAUL'S CHURCH YARD. 1792." The page has a classic book layout with centered lines, decorative rules, and subtle printer's ornaments. The overall image juxtaposes Wollstonecraft's portrait with the foundational feminist text she authored, symbolizing her enduring legacy in women's rights and Enlightenment thought.
