Hey dudes! I have a book that comes out three months from TODAY! It's called GOING OVERBOARD and it's about a 6th grader who's horrified to discover that zir mom is dating zir enemy's mom. When the moms plan a joint family cruise, Piper decides ze needs to break them up...

Feeling totally screwed up about money...

Evergreen reminder

Raise your hand if you’re excited for #Survivor premiere day.

Packing is so much work... ew.

CRUMBLE is out next week! 🍰 February 25th! Written by @iniquitousfish.bsky.social drawn by myself, published by @littlebrownyr.bsky.social ! I can’t wait for you all to read this story!

I don't know if I have it in me to feign interest in Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY.

Okay... preparing to move in a month and a half...

FYI, you can pre-order MY LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK ABOUT PRIDE now! bookshop.org/p/books/my-l...

This was such a fun list to create! I sourced Black-authored fiction with arts or crafts as a central part of the story and non fictional books that teach crafting. I found non fiction books for young readers about arts and Black artists. Edi Campbell's latest dispatch on "Pearl's & Ruby's"

I have a book coming out next month. It’s about an autistic-coded gender nonconforming Hispanic kid who needs an outfit for a quinceañera. You should check it out. bookshop.org/p/books/i-wa...

Yay! LINUS AND ETTA COUD USE A WIN is a 2025 Rainbow Book List Top 10 Book! Huzzah!

uh idk why i suddenly have 3K more followers than last week, but i assume it's because of Black History Month and if so i have a book coming out, THIS ENDS IN EMBERS, sequel to SO LET THEM BURN, and tbh i'd rather you buy it or repost this so other people might buy it 😘 bookshop.org/contributors...

Here are 25 sapphic books by Black authors out in 2025 to preorder now! lesbrary.com/black-sapphi...

OMG. January is almost over. Thank god.

i think the hadestown pro shot might heal me

Because of *gestures at government*, I would like to take a moment to remind you about this book that I wrote that is coming out May 27, 2025. It has a protagonist, Piper, who uses neopronouns... but that isn't the focus of GOING OVERBOARD. It's just a small fact of zer existence.

🎨 I'm always excited to celebrate the designers and artists whose hard work and creativity make the books we love shine bright! In Pop! Goes The Reader's newest post, I'm sharing 25 of my recent favourite 2025 middle grade book covers. 🎨 popgoesthereader.com/do-judge-a-b... #BookSky #KidLit #MGLit

It's my favourite time of the year! It's time for my 2025 Anticipated Queer Middle post! lainahastoomuchsparetime.wordpress.com/2025/01/10/2...

OMG. I didn't know how bad it could get. #stillsick

🙀 COVER REVEAL 🙀 Here is the cover my next MG Horror, A LITTLE TOO HAUNTED, about a paranormal obsessed 13-yr-old who gets more than she bargained for when her fake haunted house flipping moms move her into an actually haunted fixer upper. Designer - Jeanette Levy Illustrator - Alla Khatkevich

I've just started watching Only Murders in the Building, and the episodes are "presented by NIGHTBITCH," which is a funny thing to hear every time.

I'm sick and I'm at the part of this illness where I am simply furious about ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. 😡

What specific part(s) of #LoveActually pops into your brain more than it should? For me, it's Andrew Lincoln zipping up his sweater.

Just sitting in the pickup line thinking about how Erivo sings “blithe limb” in #Wicked.

Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Middle Grade: January-June 2025 lgbtqreads.com/2024/12/02/m... 🌈📚

Cowboy Bebop is the ultimate millennial show because it's about having to live with three roommates while getting screwed by the gig economy, one roommate is a gambling addict and the other won't stop moping about his ex.

Ah! December is almost upon us! A month when my publishing stress can take the form of anguish over not being on "best of" lists AND anguish over not being on "most anticipated" lists. Oh, what fun it is, indeed!

Okay... did *not* expect that win, but I'll take it! #GoBlue

I finally saw Wicked Part 1, and I thought it was beautifully executed... some hopes for Part 2: 💃 Figure out how to get more big dance numbers in 🎀 Reveal (justify?) Glinda's motivation -- they added elements to do this for Glinda, but it would be nice if Glinda got that too
