✨NEWS✨ I'm SO excited to announce that I'm now represented by Maria Whelan of Inkwell Management!! I was beyond blown away by Maria's vision for my weird, gothic ode to libraries, ill-fated love, disability & sapphic women & I can't wait to see what this next chapter holds 📚🥀

Hey so the Gaiman article is really graphic and disturbing. The [CW:SA] goes without saying but it's not for vague mentions; specific assaults are described in detail. And it's okay not to read it. Reporting on this is vital but that doesn't mean you specifically need to bear witness in this way.

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users? Please share far & wide! Interest form: forms.office.com/e/66FhcQjqRT More info: www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/new...

Two photos of Anna, a young white woman using an electric wheelchair, wearing a blue lab coat that fits her well with tables and dry-lab equipment in the background. Text reads: "A team of researchers and designers led by UCL is looking for wheelchair users working in wet lab environments to user-test what is believed to be the first-ever prototype of a lab coat adapted for wheelchair users."

Of course I want to be invited. No, I do not want to go. Yes, I would like my absence to be remarked upon. No, I do not want to feel pressured that I SHOULD have attended. I just want that perfect balance of being included and valued without having to actually leave my house. 🥰 my dog lives here.

Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.

The reason I'm so positive about aspiring writers is that I believe that: * Anyone who can string a sentence together can write a story, script or book. * Anyone who puts enough time, effort, and workshopping into it can write a GOOD story, script, or book. * Anything finished can be fixed.
