Feel like this little sob story *could* have mentioned that Boyne's Polari nomination came five days after he wrote a piece referring to trans-inclusive women as the evil wives in the Handmaid's Tale, "ready to pin a handmaiden down as her husband rapes her". www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

John Boyne says LGBTQ+ fiction prize backlash brought him ‘close to the edge’

Gender-critical novelist urges writers to re-enter prize they boycotted and may ask judges not to shortlist his novella

greatest thing about being an author is getting to read your most anticipated books so early. the next @freyamarske.bsky.social is sooooo extremely delicious I want to curl up inside it like a dormouse

I’m an absolute beginner at ice skating and today I gave myself actual motion sickness just from skating in circles which bodes well for future skills I think

Kidlit colleagues, just a reminder that JK Rowling *funded* this challenge over the definition of women at the Supreme Court. Every time you choose to work with her, platform her, take a stance that aligns with her, buy her books, nominate her for more awards, she uses that and funds hate.

The level of injustice is just so extreme They had a hearing about what rights, what freedoms, what future trans people have... without a single trans person being involved, yet multiple with hate groups They decided we don't deserve equality. Then said "no one won"

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

getting stressed about deadlines is so much funnier now that I'm writing adult fantasy with more explicit romance. staring at the word document, sweating, tearing at my hair, "so he has a boner ... WHAT NEXT????"

Other kids called Trachtenberg a bitch, but in our group of child stars, we all wanted to be like her.

WRITING TIP: if you get stuck, try making the font really really big. This will remind you of being a baby, when you only knew twelve words and didn't know about death

well. yes. I agree it’s not the AUTHOR’s job to run around trying to get blurbs for marketing and publicity, as this is not their job or skill set. but the publisher? the people in charge of Marketing And Publicity? perhaps this might be mysteriously linked to them somehow?

I think a thing that stops me reaching my full potential is that I walk around at all times feeling what I can only describe as "mildly poisoned".

btw if u want ur regency-romance fix but sapphic, i can't recommend @lexcroucher.bsky.social's Infamous enough i read it during months of self-loathing re: "will i ever create anything that makes me worth loving" & it hit that note exceptionally well, while suggesting that maybe i'm enough as i am

the cover of Lex Croucher's romance novel, Infamous. the cover is bright pink and shows two women in regency-era clothing standing next to each other. one holds a drink & looks longingly at the other, who has an arm on her shoulder and is holding a quill and paper

"Gleeful and unruly, with some seriously hilarious Regency angst." -- Joanna Lowell, author of The Duke Undone

The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

we struggled to sell my Regency rom com in 2019 because Regency was out … my publisher took a punt on it and bought it early 2020 to publish summer ‘21, then Bridgerton came out while we were editing it and we sold foreign rights in 13 territories and I quit my day job. lmao!
