Happy Black History Month 2025! Happy Black History Month! Like the other eleven months, it’s an excellent time to buy queer books by Black authors! For even more recs, check out previous years’ posts! Middle Grade Camp Twisted Pine by Ciera Burch Eleven-year-old Naomi loves all things…

I don't think I need to clarify my stance on the topic but these soccer folks summed it up

Dear writers, you've got this. Whether you have yet to publish, or have a blacklist of 100. I know there are days where you struggle. Maybe that struggle is to write, to fight with your formatting program (looking at you Atticus), getting out of bed, or you're out of coffee. Keep going.

I probably should mention that half of my mm romance novel takes place over the Christmas season! If you love bad dad jokes, steamy romance, and emotional rollercoasters, then this book is for you! #mmromance #booksky #christmasromance

Yes, all of this. Many of us are also geographically located in countries where this is our only viable option to publish. Your support means the world. ❤️

As you may or may not know, Canada Post is currently (and rightly) on strike, hurting small Canadian creatives & businesses - especially with Black Friday/Cyber Monday nipping at our heels. Fellow Canadians: If you sell digital anything (books, art, surprise me!) drop your links and I'll share!

If you're a "book promoter" who messages me or replies to posts with "I'm interested in your book and would like to discuss opportunities." Just. Don't. Fuck off with that nonsense. You don't know me and you haven't even looked at the cover of my book. Stop wasting our time. I will just block you.

I'm in the process of cleaning and prepping house for sale and dreaming of how I'll set up my writing space in my new house. What do you consider essentially for your writing space? #writersky #authorsky #mmromanceauthor

May your Monday be the best it can be. May your coffee be strong, your pen mighty, and the words flow out of you. May your cats be warm and cuddly and their food bowl be full. May you... oh shit. Look at the time. Don't forget your ADHD meds! #author #writer #mmromancewriter
