Holfelder & Watson - Two Nerds in a Trench Coat @holfelderwatson.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

I self-published the Unbreakable series, because I didn't have enough faith in it. I have regrets. I did the same thing with Finding Home, but then I took a chance & submitted to @shadowandscroll.bsky.social. Now I'm working w/ them to prep for publication. YEET. #PretendPanel #WritingCommunity

Editing isn’t just about polishing words—it’s about trust. Especially for memoir writers, handing over your story is an act of vulnerability, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your words deserve care, compassion, and an editor who truly understands your voice. #Editor #Memoir #Writing

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Steven Spielberg has spent his entire career warning us about the dangers of dinosaurs and Nazis and I personally think we should have brought back the dinosaurs instead

Hey. Stop apologizing for promoting your book. You see all these “writing is resistance! write, make art!” posts that have been going viral like every day around here? Promoting the book you wrote so people know it exists is supposed to be the end result of that. You’re fine. Just promote your book.

If you're wondering whether you should promote your book or your latest publication now with all the chaos, the answer is yes. We need your words. We need to flood the channels with art and literature. So go for it, friends.

No writer is a failure until they are dead. Full stop. A career in writing is built over decades. It's built like a house, brick by brick, book by book. Not published yet? Emphasis on YET. Book not selling? It's not selling YET. You're only done when you quit. And I don't think you're ready to quit

Afrofuturism is about expansion, not conformity. You don’t need to force hip-hop aesthetics, AAVE, or any trope that doesn’t feel organic to you. Tell stories that feel most authentic, even if they aren’t "conventionally Black. #writingsky #blacksky

Books are humanizing; social media is radicalizing. Books may appear passive, but they are energizing. Social media may appear active, but it numbs and stupefies.
