I’m looking for an artist who can draw people and animals!! Specifically mastiffs. I’m looking for less realistic, more stylized, and a moody/dark atmosphere. If commissions are currently closed, that’s okay! Due date is June 2026 (ish), but I wanted to ask early in case there are some waitlists :))

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!🎃👻
I used to think I wouldn't like horror or paranormal books, but then I found YA horror/paranormal and been devouring them, including books by @mariahstillbrook.bsky.social, @jessicalewisauthor.bsky.social, and @heyitschloespencer.bsky.social. Have a happy (yet safe) Halloween!

I've been sitting on this blog post since August, but I finally posted yesterday about my plan to publish my gay sci-fi book: alexisamesbooks.com/2025/10/10/a.... I'd like to say that my marketing in the coming months will be better than this but tbh that's probably a lie. #WritingCommunity #SFF

It’s tough to balance. I try to focus on how far we’ve come. Today I made a rainbow stack of queer books and they were almost all from BIPOC authors! You couldn’t do that even five years ago (at least, in traditional). I feel lucky to be where we are and I want to help go further still

question 5: Pride is as much a protest as it is a celebration. What is one way you balance both, or how would you like to?

I feel like it’s everything, no? Every moment has accumulated to make me, me. And thus those moments inform my work, bc they’re a piece of me. My love of dogs. My fascination with Waffle House. My insecurity about money, my mom issues, the fact that I love pokemon. It’s all me!

*me scrambling desperately among my thousand WIPs*

Line from my rom com (that I’m not editing, shhhh):

“No one’s ever looked at me like that. Like I wasn’t an insufferable disaster. Like I wasn’t annoying, a failure, too much. She looked at me like I was someone to be loved.”

question 3. What is your favorite line of your current WIP? If you don't have a favorite, what is the first?

I really like that I’m passionate and curious about craft. I once spent six months researching and learning how to self edit because I wasn’t satisfied with my skill level. I listen to feedback (even if I whine about it first lol) and change for the better. I think that’s pretty neat!

Hi I’m Jessica! I write YA and MG, and recently adult! Mostly horror and romance. I’m *supposed* to be editing my rom com, but I just wrote a speculative short story today that kinda slapped?? And I’m reading One Summer in Miami, a sapphic romance! 🥰🥰
