I just finished reading Julia Fine's (@finejuli.bsky.social ) novel The Upstairs House. It's just stunning. Very powerful and unsettling in a way that is truly haunting. It's been days and I'm still thinking about it. If you haven't read it, please do. God, was it good. #booksky #HorrorLit

Slow Horses ➕️➕️➕️ Time travel's brutal for an MI5 agent on the run from his government. They almost blew up 1972; he got the blame. Now there's a temporal vortex to close, if the hunters don't kill him first, and a Russian spy from 1997 is running interference. #Q #A #SFFT #MiseryPit #agentguide 🦋

I found my #agent at an event like #MiseryPit and would love to help others do the same. Let me know if you'd like some extra eyes on your pitch. I can't promise I can help, but I'd love to try. Good luck! #Writing #Querying

17 is hard, but when you're set to take over presidency from your father, survive a ☠️ attempt, are betrayed by the two you love & learn your role is to maintain peace by keeping 200yo lies & manipulating the public or start the biggest war in centuries, 17 is REALLY hard. #2025Pit #Q #YA #SF #LGBTQ

KINSHIP, 84k, #A #H #T w/ #LGBTQ rep. Megan’s reunion with her long lost brother is complicated when he kills his lover. Luckily, Megan’s prepared for this. Subversion of gothic tropes + send up of true crime culture. #2025Pit

#2025pit #A #SPF #amquerying #writingcommunity #billionaires #resist In THEY COULD BE SAVIORS billionaires are held captive and subjected to psychedelic therapy to confront their egos—and save the planet. Think Nine Perfect Strangers meets The Paris Climate Agreement but with wealth-hoarders.

Oh man I have met so many writers by doing pitch events on the other platform and now I have an agent so I will be retweeting every writer who follows me on here. Good luck! #2025Pit

This seems like a "definitely judge a book by its cover" situation. Looks gorgeous. Can't wait to read it.

Before proper review (in April because it’s January now), I just want to reach out to @chuckwendig.bsky.social and tell him I adore this cover art so much and I’m super excited for your book! Just wanted to reach out and let him know.

About seven years ago, I got laid off from a job that I kind of hated. Now I'm an agented horror author on sub and getting hits like this on my website. I know it means nothing, but also...Damn. #WritingCommmunity #horror #publishing

My #debut #horror #novel on #Submission is about a group of modern-day #LostBoys who bury women under a tree to suffer eternally so the boys can absorb her life-force and never have to grow up. Don't know if there is any modern-day application to this. #publishing #WritingCommunity

Hey everyone. I'm rebuilding on here while still on the other one. I write #horror #novels, and am currently #OnSubmission with my #debut novel, THE DEER. Would love to connect with other #Writers, #Readers, #Publishers, and also, just for fun, #gardeners. Look forward to meeting you!
