"The story is tense, the danger and the anticipation mixing deliciously... The piece is heavy with denied justice and the promise that the bigger a corporation is, the more satisfying its fall."

Hey US and Canada folks! My Nebula, World Fantasy & Locus award nominated novel SHIGIDI will (finally!) be out in paperback on Nov 4. If you couldn't get the hardcover when it came out (understandably so!) here's your chance.

DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN x PACIFIC RIM

A disabled mecha dragonrider struggles in an ableist society. When a hivemind of corrupted dragons threatens her people's very existence, she must team up with 3 riders—her lying would-be lover included—to save the solar system.

#DVpit #A #SF #DIS #LGBT #Latine
A moodboard with 9 tiles. The first row has purple spacescape streaks of light like hyperspace, a dragon egg, and a Latina staring at the egg. The second row has purple crystals and middle text that has crossed out "star-scarred, dragonrider, etli's claw, wave rider" then, underlined "me", followed by a person underwater. The third and final row has a closeup of a snake's eye to represent a dragon's eye, a solar system, and scale pattern to represent mecha dragon scales.

A few quick things!

Authors, please treat agent interest as an invitation to query, not a requirement. Pitch events are a great way to discover agents who weren't on your radar yet. Another is the @litagentsofchange.bsky.social's Equity Directory: www.equitydirectory.org
laurenbajek.bsky.social Lauren Bajek @laurenbajek.bsky.social · Oct 7
Looking forward to #DVPit tomorrow! If I heart your pitch, please query as normal (letter + ~25 pages), but add "#DVPit" somewhere in the subject line, and include the text of the post I hearted somewhere in your query letter. Can't wait to find projects I didn't know I wanted.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Chatting with @maxgladstone.bsky.social about Higher Magic was such a full circle moment for me. His feedback on the first few chapters of an early draft at Viable Paradise helped me unlock the R&R that got me my fantastic agent, and the rest is history... or debut year, anyway. 💚
