Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 23/12/2025Rightio, holiday baking is done. Phew! Did more of the decoration go into 4’s mouth than onto the cookies? Yes. Did dough end up on the ceiling? Also yes. But we are done and I'm cheering. 010
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 22/12/2025Every week, 4 and I go to the library. Every week, we borrow 20-50 books. That we read over and over together. Where does she want to go when she's excited? The library. When she's sad? Library. Bored? LIBRARY! Libraries are safe havens. And librarians deserve unending love 💜 031
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 21/12/2025This time of year can be wonderful, but it can also be really difficult. Sending love to everyone who struggles, everyone who spends the holidays alone and wishes things were different, and especially everyone who doesn't have a home. 💜 010
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 19/12/2025The funny thing about publishing is that the more you learn about it the more confusing it is 020
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 14/12/2025I keep thinking about my 4yo saying she writes books just for herself and how wise that is. The story I'm writing right now is probably never going to see anyone else’s eyes, and that's so freeing. I can just write what I want, what gives me joy. No pressure, no stress. Just… fun?? Whoa. 010
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 14/12/2025Since I'm somehow back here, I might as well tell you guys that life leaves me no time to write, so I'm definitely, absolutely NOT writing a spinoff to a story that I haven't even sold yet. Because that would be insane. 020
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 13/12/2025Coming out of my social media grave to share that my 4yo just wrote her first book. She informed me with a very serious face that she has no time to eat or play because she *has to make books* If that ain't a writer’s life… 051
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Thanks for your reply! Much appreciated. Hmm… one MC is nearly 18 (graduated HS, now in transition to art school). the other MC is 19 and lives in the Alaskan wilderness. So I guess it sits right in between? I query it as crossover. There's no high school in the story though 010
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 12/11/2025This looks stunning! Would you it be interested in a contemp romantasy set in Alaska? 👀 (it’s YA/crossover though) 100
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Thanks!! Fingers crossed it’ll find its way into the bookstores one day 110
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Thanks!!! 💜 (there will be plenty of drama. Oops) 000
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Here’s to all the Natalies conquering the query trenches 😂 000
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Aww thank you!! Hopefully it’ll be out in the world one day 🤞 000
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Yeah… kissing, killing?? What to do?! Who knows 🤷♀️😅 010
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 28/10/2025You should def be more concerned BY her. She's… something 😅 010
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Haha thank you!! She was scary but also fun to have in my head, that's for sure 010
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Oh she's not picky 😂 anyone would do, just to see what it’s like 🫣 010
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Aw thank you!! I hope it’ll be out in the world one day 000
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 27/10/2025Natalie’s guide to surviving boarding school: 🔪don’t let your murderous side show 🔪seriously, do NOT kill anyone even if you want to 🔪practice the Good Girl smile for Yale 🔪DON’T fall for the new girl 🔪Fail and go to jail? Hell, no. #roundtablementor #YA #T #UN 5185
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 27/10/2025Being a good girl? Overrated. Hurting people—intriguing. But that’d risk Natalie’s rep at her elite boarding school and her desired spot at Yale. She’s got it all under control, until pretty new girl Aylin sees right through her mask. Now, to kiss or to kill her? #roundtablementor #YA #T #UN 5135
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 27/10/2025Natalie pretends to be a good girl at the country’s most elite boarding school but secretly craves to hurt(kill?) people. Wouldn't that be more fun? When new girl Aylin sees through Nat’s mask a game of cat&mouse begins where desire and danger blur. Until someone dies #roundtablementor #YA #T #UN 102510
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Thanks, Elise! That’d be amazing. I really appreciate it. Do you want to send me the link via DM? 110
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Oh that would be awesome. I live a bit outside of the city but will be shifting back into town sometime next year. I’d love to connect with more local writers 😊 110
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Melbourne area! I'm chaotic on here though. Sometimes I check in daily, other times I won’t open the app for weeks. But I'd love to be included! Thank you 💚 110
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 25/07/2025I've been mostly quiet here as life got busy. But I recently finished my RTM revisions and want to shout out to my mentor Birdie who’s made this process such a joy for me. 💚 thank you for believing in me, you absolute legend! 💚 #roundtablementor #writingcommunity 060

Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 07/05/2025Aww cool, nice to meet you! 😊 I heard a lot about the whole revision process. You guys were amazing mentors!!! 110
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 07/05/2025Oh the giddy, raw excitement of exploring a new story idea. I can't wait to see where this one will go. As a pantser, I won’t find out for a while though. 😅 #writingcommunity #writersky 170
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 07/05/2025Me too! It’s so good. Are you Melissa’s mentor? I'm feeling very emotional today as this book baby goes out into the world 🥹 110
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 06/05/2025My dear friend Melissa Poett’s debut is out today! 🎉🥹 THR ENEMY’S DAUGHTER is a YA reimagining of Tristan & Isolde. It’s romantic, magical, heart-breaking and feminist. If you're looking for a fresh voice in YA, check it out! You’ll find Melissa over on IG 130
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Last weekend was sooo hard. My cat soulmate got very unwell and came within inches of dying. I really thought that was it. Woke up every day dreading to find him not breathing. But he’s a tough cookie and slowly, slowly clawed his way back to life. He's still unwell, but not in immediate danger 🥺 010
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Aww such a cutie! When we adopted our pooch we tried each name on the shortlist in different voices the oooh I love you so much voice the what have you done NOW?!? voice the wait until I get you, you're in so much trouble voice the come and let me scratch you belly voice It helped! 😅 110
Sonja J Kaye @sonjajkaye.bsky.social · 02/05/2025Feeling very blessed and loved as I snuggle my two fur babies. My cat is very sick, so every cuddle is precious. Grateful for every day I get to have with him 💚 050
