u ever smell the air and it smells like the 4th grade scholastic book fair on a chilly tuesday in october of 2000

would you like to win a book about a badass sober bisexual who is the perfect embodiment of female rage and who is hanging out with some very very dangerous men in order to find her sister's k*ller? of course you do! 🔗 in b i o

This is quite possibly the first cover of The Atlantic magazine ever (in 167 years!) to be published without a headline or typography describing the stories inside. Here is The Atlantic's October cover:

Caroline J. Trussell has a book deal📚 Love you and your book!!! One of my fave reads of the year. ✨🖤

James Earl Jones has sadly passed away at the age of 93. May the Force be with the man behind the iconic voice of Darth Vader 🖤

I’m so excited to get feedback from my last two beta readers and bring this story to the next level so I can query it in October ❤️

Espresso depress-o stressed-o

Freaking Veronica Roth and Scott Westerfeld are going to be at YALLfest and I can’t even tell you how much they shaped my reading and love for dystopian and now I get to meet them and tell them I have a book comped to theirs coming out next year. I’m beside myself 😭

exciting news! i officially have a storefront for prosed books — a bookstore dedicated to bringing readers books written by marginalized authors. if you’re an author with some bookplates that need a home or you’re just looking to connect, reach out! kickstarter.com/projects/52498…

Which book should I read next?

Do you ever feel like you’re falling behind/running out of time 😅?

The journey to publication can sometimes feel like entering a competition, but it’s not about defeating others to win. From associate agent C.L. Geisler: “It's not actually a dog-eat-dog world in here... Other authors aren't your competition, this isn't a sport.”

No matter how well intentioned you are, there are always going to be people who judge you or try to bring you down. Keep being you and don’t let them win ❤️

My next read starts the prioritization of Spooky Szn books and I’ll be reading however many of these I can get through until the end of Oct. - Haunting of Hill House - The Secret History - The Grimrose Girls - The Mary Shelley Club - Full Throttle

Okay I really want to start a virtual Spooky Girls or Spooky Readers book club that focuses on thrillers, horror, anything spooky. This would probably start in January. Raise your hand if you would interested. ✨

It was my nephew’s second birthday today. He’s such a light in my life ❤️🫶
