Is ‘the quest’ aspect like a mandatory requirement for fantasy books? Because I think that’s what I don’t reading. The hero v bad guy thing too. Feels very predictable #booksky

We’re back & hosting a supper club with a 4-course meal inspired by foods from all over the African Diaspora! We’ll be hosted by @johnpaulk01.bsky.social who’ll be interviewing Chimeka Garricks, author of “A Broken People’s Playlist”! Grab a ticket! 🎟️: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/melange-ch...

I’ll be at Cambridge Literary Festival tomorrow for a panel on The Life, Writing and Legacy of James Baldwin. In person tickets are sold out but livestream tickets are still available: www.cambridgeliteraryfestival.com/events/the-l...

Added a few 1000 words yesterday after 2 days of nothing. I’m still here #writersky

😭😭😭 yup

Please read books. I’m begging you.

Taking a break from this Wole Soyinka book because it’s very verbose😂

Balancing writing poetry and fiction is actually not for the weak

I got my book deal around this time two years ago. Today I’m being flown out to speak at a book festival. To God be the glory every single time 🥹🙏🏾 #booksky #blackbooksky #authorsky

Oh gosh I’m tired

Hurray! My QueryManager is now open for writers of YA and adult fiction who identify as POC: querymanager.com/KesLupo Closing November 25! For those waiting for a response from me, I have 48 maybes left from my last open period and these will be my priority.

Books that have broken my heart recently. 💙📚 (ongoing) - An Orchestra of Minorites by Chigozie Obioma

I need to start switching up my breakfast foods

Reminder that while bookshop.org is amazing and you should be directing your online book sales there, I'll echo others and say that for small publishers, one of the most impactful things you can do is buy directly from our website, putting money in our bank account today for operations.

I just learned that Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. An alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform (and yes it's really easy to transfer your lists from Goodreads to StoryGraph). You know, while we're moving things.

🤔 Here's my idea of "heaven". ... HBU❓️
