I've been on this road a long time...
Stationery paper and star stickers over a green background.  Text: "My whole life, there've only ever been two things I've wanted to be..."1. a faery

Scrapbook style page includes a photo of a messy-haired girl in a pink faery costume, holding a watering can ("garden faery, age 5"), a young woman in a white dress and faery wings ("age 19"), and a doodle ("drawn by a friend, age 15") that includes "Marley is a fairy! or a ghost"2. a writer

Scrapbook style page includes a photo of a little girl sitting at a desk and holding up a writing utensil ("age 5"), cramped little kid writing ("diary entry, age 7, declaring plans to publish a book"), and a cut out from a black and white senior magazine ("voted 'most likely to be the next great author' in high school")"Guess I'll settle for being a writer of faery books" (smiley face)

Shows cover of THE BONE BRIDES, by Marley Rose-Teter, and a photo of the author holding three ARCs, labeled "a debut novelist!"

What would you do with the power to travel through time? Perhaps you would savor a fond memory or try to prevent an impending disaster. Surely, we would all return that library book on time, right? 🤨 Let's go some-when else in time with this week's book list. 🧵 #BookSky

I did book coverage for 17 years for an alt-weekly—small, rural, always meticulously fact-checked. This is a good response, but it hurts to know that this is the standard being set.

Margot Harrison @margotfharrison.bsky.social · 20/05/2025
I get that this was an ad supplement, but failure to fact check seems pretty typical of the lack of respect many media outlets have for book coverage. Hard to imagine a similar preview of summer movies that don’t exist—there would be an instant outcry.

Alt-weeklies still do real book content—including reviews by writers (like me) who actually read the book!

Book Review: ‘The Lamb,’ by Lucy Rose, and ‘Black Woods, Blue Sky,’ by Eowyn Ivey
Two new novels riff on fairy tales to explore mothers with unusual hungers and daughters trying to survive them.

Just putting this here for posterity. I’ve never had a book that was called “big” or “buzzy” before. And this one took me 37 years to turn into something readable.

"The Midnight Club" von Margot Harrison: Klasse Plot, neue Ideen zu Thema Zeitreise, Ideen, die nach dem Lesen im Kopf bleiben. Fehlt manchmal etwas Grundspannung in einigen Kapiteln. @margotfharrison.bsky.social Your book was reviewed in German language www.rezensionsnerdista.de/2025/01/11/t...

I review for a newspaper (yes! a real print alt-weekly), but our last art-house theater closed, and the local mainstream theaters sure aren’t promoting The Brutalist. I didn’t receive a screener and have no way of writing about it.

In case you’d like to try a memory drug that looks like maple syrup and smells like Pine-Sol … I have one of those ebook sales going.
The clock is ticking! The Midnight Club ebook is $5.99 on all platforms for a limited time.

Another fave: “I couldn’t find your book in B&N. Why don’t you do something about that?” (Me: The internet says the book is in that B&N and there’s nothing I can “do.”)

Margot Harrison @margotfharrison.bsky.social · 08/12/2024
It’s all relative. When other authors post about getting floods of emails and DMs from readers, I see that as a mark of success because it’s a rare thing for me. A ton of “loves” on Edelweiss is also good.

Margot Harrison @margotfharrison.bsky.social · 08/12/2024
On a certain other app, I keep seeing posts saying that “major publishers” are “firing editors and using AI.” I’ve only ever worked with humans in publishing. Is this engagement bait, or is there a real example of it happening?

Margot Harrison @margotfharrison.bsky.social · 06/12/2024
I write both adult and YA, and honestly, I haven’t found the editorial expectations to be too meaningfully different, except that adult can include on-page sex. Maybe lit-fic would be another ball game, I dunno.

Margot Harrison @margotfharrison.bsky.social · 26/11/2024
I hold on to this dream that I will write one really accessible and lovable thing that brings readers to all my other things, and it will turn out they are lovable too, but I seem to be no closer to writing that thing.

It’s a while since I’ve been around here, but anyway, the book for adults I spent 37 years writing has been out 2 months. THE MIDNIGHT CLUB is a Gen X second-chances memory drug thing & some readers said nice things about it.
