Fun fact - I did not know who Julie d’Aubigny was and had accepted the story just on the strength of the amazing storytelling before I even realised she was real! But that just made it even more of a joy.

C'est moi! If you know me then you know I've been obsessed with Julie d'Aubigny for ages. And this story about her is completely true and not embellished in the slightest. ;)

Our "Who Am I? Sapphic Speculative Fiction of Identity & Purpose" anthology releases on Oct 30! Over the next few weeks we are highlighting the stories to give you a taste of the vibes to expect. Do you love watery, dark, ghostly tales? This is for you. @mac-bowers.bsky.social

A tile showing the Who Am I book cover, the authors name Mac Bowers, a quote from the story: “My love comes with the random rolling of the sea, brought in by a gentle tide and a southerly wind. I always wait for her, even though she tells me not to... She believes the sea to be a callous, fickle thing. But it sings to me, and brings her back to me...” and the story title "What The Tide Takes"

The first print orders of the first book from Scylla Publishing have officially been placed. It took exactly a year to get our first book to market, but we will quadruple that (at least) in the next year. We are a publisher. I need to write this so I can look back in 5 years and celebrate Sep 30.

Please people, help me. I need a rec for sapphic or lesbian gaslamp fantasy-hopepunk, cyberpunk, steampunk, paranormal, I care not. Any heat level. Trad or indie, couldn't care less. I can't find anything. Where are our sapphic authors who can be comped with Gail Carriger? #booksky

Of course you should sell them. We need you in the world and profitable to sell and recommend the less known queer SFF books people might not have found if not for you.

Sorry to say pointing to the same few hit books that have been published in lesbian SFF by trad publishers over the past TEN YEARS is not a way of proving that big trad publishing is open to sapphic/lesbian authors or stories. But it does prove we can write excellent books when given the chance.
