dropping new garms tomorrow. yes, the bag too repost this shit pretty please

As a writer of YA stories, I can say writing for that audience (13 - 19) requires finesse. Yes, you want to avoid condescension. But more importantly, you want them to connect to the story; making your themes/characters too mature could be detrimental to that goal.

My niece says everybody in her school has been talking about this book. And she kept thanking me for getting it for her because she gets to join in on the conversation. But proud auntie moment for me 🥰

I told y’all SeaBreeze is the best book you’d read this year!!!!!!! I meannnn😍😍😍 Plus anybody would love it, as you can see, even a pre-teen! Get yours today! challenge.theseabreezebook.com/?get-seabreeze…

I wrote SeaBreeze for the kid in me. So it warms my heart to see an 11 y.o. girl gracefully articulate her thoughts on the wonder she felt reading SB. I’m proud, I’m grateful, I’m inspired. My heart is full.🌊💙

The Enjin I sure will do, thank you so much for reading it and for writing seabreeze as well ❤️

Hi. I’m Nkereuwem Albert and my debut novel THE BONE RIVER is a sapphic urban fantasy that invites you to witness a Calabar with necromancers, ancestral magic, malevolent gods and secret masquerade societies! It’s out everywhere books are sold🐍 I’m also a dentist🧍🏾

For my latest newsletter, I talk about memory x touring for The Bone River🐍 Thank you to everyone who showed up and to The African Imaginary, for making this a memorable time. Portrait taken at The African Imaginary dinner by Ùjèsà omo ará ulé Ùwàrà open.substack.com/pub/nkereuwem/…

I have nothing to report from 2025 other than fellas, please clip your nails short. Long finger/toe nails are objectively disgusting.

I don’t know how to explain it, but Bali by Zaylevelten is my entrance song.

Haha real! That’s why you should anchor your story on one small area in the vast network. Leave the rest for others. Combined, all the stories ever told edge towards the singularity, anyway.
