The 113th Assistant Librarian now has a friend! Lost in a Book continues Oliver and Agatha's adventures as they are confronted with a very special edition of a book that may spell doom for both Hallarum and the Shrouded Alps. More literary peril! More London! And a giant spider crab! (Shudder!)

Little bit in love with the cover design for the Russian translation of The 113th Assistant Librarian!

Fascinated by the fact that in Netflix's Fear Street: Prom Queen, every single instance of the heroine's tortured backstory is ADR dialogue delivered by someone off-camera. They changed the backstory in post! Please tell me someone else noticed this... #horrormovie

Thanks to a question from a translator, I just discovered a punchline in my published book that doesn't make sense. 🙃 Love this for me!

I have lived through an era in which I had almost any information at my fingertips, where with savvy search skills I could find whatever I wanted, a facility with information Diderot would have wept to have. I'm sixty. I remember before Google and easy reliable search. And now I have outlived it.

As someone who has wanted to be a writer from the earliest point I can remember, I resent the act of writing a lot. Because it’s extremely fucking hard and time-consuming and painful and oftentimes thankless. But that’s what you sign up for when you decide to write. There are no shortcuts.

Excellent advice. Every scene you write should contribute to developing or advancing your plot, characters or setting. Ideally, any two of the three.

I'm in awe of how good the Netflix animated Asterix and the Big Fight adaptation was. All the contemporary touches felt 100% in the spirit of the original. Hope we get more books adapted!

Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.

Okay, a lot of people are expressing outrage about this, and I also feel outrage about this, but since everyone else has already expressed my feelings for me, I'm going to put on my Teacher of Analytical Thinking Pants and point out something important.

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon. But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

There are many writers of quality SFF - especially women - who never became celebrities and whose work imo far outstrips Gaiman's. And, yes, many - especially women - have been forgotten.
