—— 🌷 sapphic september recs: fantasy, fiction, and romance

for your Sapphic September TBR consideration ,,, my children

popping back in here to start an accountability thread for warlord wip because (after 2 years and a novelette version) I’ve finally started it! here’s the first line and the comps are: she who became the sun x the six deaths of the saint x the empress of salt and fortune

the first pass through my inbox has been done (slowly over weeks). Now, to confront my maybe pile and trying not sign literally a gorgeous hundred books

LIVING MEMORY, the first piece of flash fiction i ever wrote, just got an acceptance :-) it’s a love letter to deep time, archaeology, history, and oral folk traditions. it was inspired by an academic paper i read about the ancestry of fairytales. more about it soon!

I'm tired of the "my parents want me to get a real job, but I am defying them by trying to be a writer instead" media trope. I want more of the "I HAVE a real job, and I still scramble to write every chance I get" media trope because that's WAY closer to the true reality.

I'm opening to queries via QM from October 1 to October 7! Please visit my page on the Azantian Literary Agency website or my MSWL page on my personal website for more info. The l*nks to both are on my L*nkTr*e in my b*o. :) (1/4)

For anyone who has queried me—apologies for the slow times. Personal life (moving!) + my day job (part-time w/ full-time hours) have taken over my energy, so querying is relegated to scraps of time after my clients, always the priority. Fear not, though! November brings stability

"There, on her mother’s stomach, where her hands had fallen away, was the bloody outline of a butterfly." We're excited (and...scared? A little intrigued?) to share an excerpt from wen-yi lee 🦋's adult fantasy When They Burned the Butterfly!! 🦋🔥 reactormag.com/excerpts-when-…

announcing the WHEN THEY BURNED THE BUTTERFLY preorder campaign!!! send me your preorder receipts now till Oct 21 (with an exclusive for certain Singapore bookstores) & get some pretty gifts ft. all southeast asian artists! links in bio 🦋✨

with the cover officially out, lemme indulge in the details 🤭 i work as a designer/art director for my day job & was lucky to be involved in the design process with Enid Din (artist) & Kaitlin Yang (designer). it's so cool to have southeast asian women come together to make this

IT'S OFFICIAL! ✨ I'm so incredibly excited to announce that my gothic romantic fantasy, REAP & SOW (+ sequel), is going to be published by BerkleyXOBooks and Penguin Books UK in the US/UK respectively—plus multiple foreign territories! 🎉 My wildest dreams are coming true. 🥹❤️

ICYMI: I wrote about writing lesbian sex scenes! yet another chance for me to give you book recs and talk horniness at large

happy international lesbian day, my girl gang book gfs got called toxic yuri /pos

Butterfly Been working on this piece for almost a month and glad she is finally done! #digitalart #illustration #CLIPSTUDIOPAINT

I’m open to queries. QueryTracker.net/query/3913

she would NEVER do this to you (sapphic romance from start to end)

If you’re waiting for a professional answer from me (especially querying) I’m picking everything back up after planned personal commitments 🙏🏻 I promise I’ve not forgotten. Client work does remain my priority

Heads up, writers! I will be closing to queries on December 8. I’m fairly caught up on queries and submissions and plan to respond to everything in my inbox before the end of the year. Reopening in January 2026 with a refreshed MSWL! 🥰 #amquerying #writingcommunity

I've answered to all queries! I have five (5) partials left to review before the end of the year, hopefully this week. I'm considering re-opening again in December, right before the holidays (I know, risky!), because I'm still desperately looking for YA/MG. More soon.
