Margaret Owen @what-eats-owls.bsky.social · 11/12/2024
Surprise! You didn’t think I’d have just the one book coming out in 2025, did you? Disney asked me to write a follow-up to TANGLED—a horrible decision, really—and as I dearly love that movie, how could I say no? (It may have also given me the chance to put “Give that horse a sword” in a book.)
Screenshot from publishers marketplace that reads: “Margaret Owen's ROOTBOUND, set a month after the events of Tangled, in which the rookie princess Rapunzel and her rogue-turned-suitor Eugene are pulled into a high-stakes diplomatic mission to a mysterious kingdom, where they must uncover the secrets of the royal family, Rapunzel's lost magic, and Eugene's past in order get back home, to Flannery Wiest at Disney-Hyperion, with Hali Baumstein editing, by Victoria Marini at High Line Literary Collective.” Has a fancy decorative border against a blue/purple background with faint gold celestial charts!

Megan Bontrager | THE SEA HIDES ITS DEAD out now! 🌊 @megbontra.bsky.social · 04/12/2024
So what’s this thing about, anyway? 🌊✨🗡️ Here’s a blurb to tide you over (ba dum tsss). THE SEA HIDES ITS DEAD is coming Summer 2026 from Orbit US/UK. The Descent x Dante’s Inferno — claustrophobia, eldritch cults, and biblically accurate angels, oh my! Art by @warickaart.bsky.social 🖤 #booksky
A graphic depicting character art from THE SEA HIDES ITS DEAD against an ocean background, with "cover coming soon" over the characters' heads. The book's title and release date are also included. A plot blurb for THE SEA HIDES ITS DEAD, with the header "ATONE OR DIE" : Grad student Caro has no idea what she wants to do with her life, but when an opportunity arises to act as a research assistant on an anthropological expedition for her professor and lover, Edward Beck, she doesn’t hesitate.

Beck assembles a team of academics and professionals to study the ancient sea-based Cult of the Leviathan, and the expedition descends into the sea caves where the cult are said to have dwelt.

But when the cave entrance collapses, trapping them inside, the expedition will find they are not alone in the darkness. Surrounded by strange artefacts and scattered bones, an ancient trial has been set in motion. One by one, the members of the expedition will be tested and forced to atone for their greatest sin… or die.

a first draft is supposed to be bad, a first draft is for discovery, a first draft will have plot holes and thats ok, a first draft will not be polished and thats ok, a first—

it has come to my attention that drafting with the AKIRA (1988) OST as your soundtrack is arguably the sexiest thing ever. it's so good
