How I'm walking out of 2025
Reborn in Ash makes a great New Year read for fantasy fans. At its core, it's about a grieving thief finding new purpose after she discovers magic. It doesn't come easy. She doesn't want to make friends because losing people is too painful. Yet without them, she would never find herself.

Casual reminder that unless you are surveilling someone 24/7, you do not know what they are doing to contribute to The Fight. We as a society 100% need to be doing more, but these demands at the individual level are performative and off-putting.

We're open for early subs from Dec 24-31! If you're an equity-deserving writer, send us SFF short fiction (500-3,500 words) & poetry.
Not sure what we want? Less fabulism and more entrenched fantasy/scifi. We'd love pieces that deliver on the promise of their title (show us the monster!!)

I bought myself an awesome dragon notebook for my husband to give me for Christmas.
Or so I thought.
You see, its cover was 3D and I found it at a busy scholastic book fair so didn’t get to look closely.
Skyfolks, it was genAI. I’m gutted. Also got rid of it
Damn it @scholasticuk.bsky.social

Sometimes being an author really sucks. I have surgery in a few days and my brain is being all dramatic about it even though I know it’s the most common routine surgery in the UK.
