PW gives you a fairly limited scope for pitching but some additional facts for those curious: - it’s a dybbuk story - it takes place in the 1870s in a small city that isn’t Berdichev - there’s a dog

I sent them a letter as a concerned author saying that libraries are a place where kids can get information and stories that have been assessed for quality and appropriateness, and if they don’t have the library they can and will find things on the internet that have NOT been vetted by anyone

A little teaser ahead of an upcoming PW announcement

“One character is an unexpressed aspect of another, in the same way that Uriel transitions by keeping the same non gender it always had. Why do a straightforward queer narrative when you could do it in a way that’s slightly confusing”

I would like to urge anyone who can make a donation to Palentine Children's Relief Fund to do so. The PCRF is one of the ways that those of us who oppose genocide can do to help the children of Palestine immediately. www.pcrf.net My heart is absolutely in pieces.

The Palestine Children's Relief Fund was established in 1992 by concerned humanitarians in the USA to bring injured and sick children for free medical care they could not get locally

Who wants to take my concept for a Yom Kippur themed romcom where the third act crisis is they’re both so hangry they have an incredibly foolish fight after YK Torah service. WILL THEY KISS BEFORE NEILAH? of course they will it’s a romcom

It's really important to get in touch with your local reps and express support for freedom to read. Books about POC are not "CRT" and books about queer folk aren't "pornography." Drop your library director, library board, city council, and mayor a line. The other side absolutely is, we should too.

This is true. Sacha & I are both published by the beautiful indie press Levine Querido, which is dedicated to uplifting the stories of underrepresented authors. In the past year, bans and censorship have dealt a blow. Indie authors & publishers are struggling. Pls support Sacha’s work.

Currently reading and really enjoying TO SHAPE A DRAGON’S BREATH by Moniquill Blackgoose. If you like 19th century with dragons this should certainly be on your list. Also if you like female protagonists who go up to the social outcasts and say “I like you. We are now friends”
