I'm so, so thrilled to announce that I'm now repped by the wonderful @knifewitch.bsky.social!! From the moment we talked, I knew Fab really understood my gothic horror novel and I'm super excited to see what's in store for my doomed siblings ✨

Happy six months to Astrophobia!
This book was my first time contributing to an anthology and I think everyone involved did some damn fine work 😌

Parasite is a no go on this (everything would smell too gnarly or wouldn't have a good company tie-in), but for Patron, it'd definitely be with a paint company, so the pages had that fresh paint smell!
Alright, #writingcommunity, if you could have whatever ridiculous collab you wanted, what would your book smell like?

I am tentatively looking for published authors who would be interested in being a part of a second space horror anthology, the sequel, so to speak, to Astrophobia.

If you like space horror, I would highly recommend Astrophobia!! It came out a few weeks ago and contains 13 very different takes on the genre with some really cool art inside!

Hey folks,
I have a huge request for Pride:
Trevor Project is recruiting for a landmark new study. If you are LGBTQ, in the United States, and between 13-24 or know someone who is, pass this along to them.
Trevor’s research has led to meaningful defenses of queer and trans lives.
Take the survey
