Just realised I hadn't set up my profile at all. If you were wondering if I'm a fellow writer following you - yes, I am.🙃 #writersky

I've been wondering how to politely but firmly tell certain people to stop. 😅

Just want to say thanks for all the support for my pitches in #questpit yesterday. I'm a complete unknown on, so I was expecting it to drop through, unseen. It's nice to be seen. 🥰

Thanks! There's lots of death magic involved, but it's an uplifting story overall, I promise 🍄💀

A death examiner forced to relive victims’ final moments must master her increasingly unstable magic to defy a king who seeks to control it. Offbeat tones of NETTLE AND BONE meets the recovery arc of THE STORM CROW Rep for anxiety, disability, deafness, LGBT+, adoption #questPit #YA #F #Q

I wish I could separate myself from my magic, but it breaks me down, and I can't rebuild everything I am, over and over. I don't know how Aunt Luce became so strong.

This sounds great. Our books have a couple of similarities. Let me know if you're looking for critique partners. 😊

Thanks! Just realised there's a typo. Was supposed to be 'recovery arc'. 🤦‍♀️

Thank you! I don't know many people on bluesky, so it's nice to meet everyone. 😊

Oh, great. Sorry for checking, it's just I've already had beta say they'll read for free, and then try to charge after one chapter. Another used AI on my opening. I have to be careful now.

Sam @scookiewrites.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Thanks, I was starting to think this was a bad idea. Is there a way of sending dms on here? I'm not familiar with bluesky and don't want to post my email, given the replies I've had so far.

Sam @scookiewrites.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

Hi, just checking as I've looked at your account - are you offering to read my full book for free?

Sam @scookiewrites.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

71,000. Please note, I'm not looking for paid betas at this stage.

Sounds great. I have a fair amount of time this spring for swaps. 😊

Hi #writingcomunity, anyone want to beta read or be critique partners for a young adult fantasy centred around death magic? I have no social media presence, so any help sharing this would be appreciated. 😊 #writersky #querytrenches

That sounds cool. I always love a fanatsy heist

Oh, cool. Is that based on experience or your interests?

Sam @scookiewrites.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

Hi there. What sort of things do you write?

Sam @scookiewrites.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Thanks! I haven't quite stepped in yet, but it will be my 8th visit so I know the place well.

Sam @scookiewrites.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Thanks! I appreciate the help as I don't know what hashtags to use on here at all.

If you're writing a fantasy manuscript or querying, hi there! I'm new, approaching the trenches, and would love to follow a load of people going through the same thing. 🫡 #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity #authors #writesky

Just had a breakthrough with my next novel and wrote out a 2 page synopsis within the hour. Let's do this! #amwriting #writingcommunity

I'm glad you realised it early on. Took me a couple of rounds to appreciate there are a few more hundred nos than yeses.

Hi guys! Fantasy author, here. Just polishing up my 8th manuscript for another round of Rejection Therapy. Gotta keep that ego in check.😅 Yes, I mean querying. New to Bsky and would love to connect with other writers. 👋 #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky
