Starting edits on my first-ever novella, so it's reread time! There's always an odd element of surprise to that first read after the initial draft, so I'm excited to see what's lurking on the next page.

At Augur we use trigger warnings as early as subs and pitch, and then have writers tweak them prior to publication. They are small font just under the title. If you don’t need them, you can skip them. If you do, they are there. This is an accommodation for entry, like a ramp. It is not optional.

It's Lesbian Visibility Week! And I am here, as your local visible lesbian, to announce... being gay rules. If I could go back and tell my terrified twelve-year-old self that someday I'd be publishing stories about women in love? She'd lose it. A short thread of three stories for this week: (1/5)

Libraries are essential. Libraries are under attack. Your reps need to know that the cuts to IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Sciences) are impacting your communities. Every call makes a difference! If you've ever used your local library...this is your chance to show your thanks! 💙📚

Contract signed! No more vagueposting! I sold a story to @talesfeathers.bsky.social!!! "The Trees and the Frogs and the Sun on the Water" is a tender sapphic love story about poetry and magic. (But I am who I am, so... it’s also a story about shame and fear.) Cannot wait to share it with you! 🌳🐸☀️
