TONIGHT at 8PM PT, please help us celebrate community and cheer on our fantastic finalists at the 59th Annual SFWA Nebula Awards. You can find the stream here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKhw...

Loved being a part of yesterday's @sfwa.bsky.social Nebula panel on contemplating the familiar in MG/YA fantasy. If you missed it, the recording is available along with all the other panel recordings for Nebula attendees! 💕🐉

I'm extremely late announcing this, but for #Nebulas2024 attendees, I'm on the virtual Grow from No panel today at 10:30 PT! Rejection is a given when seeking publication. Come hear some tips for moving forward! (Spite. For me, sometimes it's spite.)

I’ll be participating in the panel “Beyond the Veil: Navigating Death and Dying in SFF” today at 10:30AM to 11:30AM PST! We’ll be talking about death motifs, the afterlife, and more. Then come hang out with me at my Meet and Greet from 2:30PM to 3PM! 👋 #Nebulas2024

“the difference between kinky and monstrous is in the eye of the beholder” i love this panel #Nebulas2024

Stopped by to visit the good folks from Vroman’s and check out some books. There are now signed copies of my novella LOST CARGO available. #nebulas2024

Signed a bunch of books for the Vroman’s pop-up bookshop! #nebulas2024

I’m really looking forward to this one! #Nebulas2024

Hey, if you're at #Nebulas2024 (personally or vitually) I and other panelists will be talking about "Smaller is Better: Drabbles and Other Microfictions" this Saturday morning (9:00 PDT, 12:00 EDT). I promise you'll hear more than a hundred words from me!

I had so much fun talking #comics at the @sfwa.bsky.social #nebulas2024 this morning. Thank you to Madeleine Holly Rosing for moderating, and fellow panelists Jessica Maison and Helen Yang for the great conversation, and to everyone who came to the panel in person or who watched online. #comics

Super exited for my #Nebulas2024 panel today Learning to Teach Genre.

See you (if you're an Asian, Asian American, Pacific Islander, etc writers) at the AAPI in-person meetup at the #nebulas2024 today in the San Gabriel room at 12:30 pm! Yours truly and Victoria Shi will co-host!
