Sephiroth comission 🖤

Just an FYI for people who may be new to the book banning stuff, when your books are banned it does not mean you’re on “the right side.” It means that your art (and probably you too) is being targeted by right wing extremists for erasure. It means you are being silenced. It’s NOT GOOD.

See also, publishing pretending to give a fuck about marginalized voices in the wake of 2019/2020 and then putting those books out without any support and promptly dropping the authors because of poor sales.

Hello Bluesky! This is my little intro post, I’m Liselle, a bi Trinidadian-Canadian author 🖤 the first book in my new YA dark academia fantasy trilogy, A Mastery of Monsters comes out on July 29th. It’s got secret societies, deadly competitions, a slow burn romance, and throwing knives 😎

they are a perfect example that youth-oriented media can tackle real-world issues with intelligence, heart, and respect for its audience. they cover the topics teens care about while amplifying marginalized voices and holding people in power accountable 💖

I have a whole 3,300 word first chapter written for a new story!! And I’ve read 2 books! So far I am winning at my New Year’s resolution

You can pry complicated fantasy stories from my cold dead fingers, is what I’m learning about myself as a writer

Happy first day of 2025!!

And happy returning to writing to me, after 6 months of doing nothing but gaming (in between parenting) I spent most of 2024 afraid I would never sell another book again; my goal this year is to finish a manuscript, to heck with the looming dread that no one will want it.

So… I got vulnerable over on Men’s Health.

I wrote about our fertility journey, how opening up to my circle of dudes brought lots of laughter and tears, and how more men should do that.

Thankful for my bros. The roasting. The cheering. You know who you are. www.menshealth.com/sex-women/a6...

So far Burn Out Christmas has just been me playing the Sims any chance my toddler will allow

I irrationally get upset sometimes that I can't just pull a story from my head and type it up into a coherent and satisfying story in one draft. But then I realized this is the difference between AI-generated stories and human authors. Writing is supposed to be a process.

Alright! Started working on a literary agent starter pack on here, for all my writer friends out there!

Follow along and see what folks are looking for. go.bsky.app/EFopcRo

Attempting to build yet another platform! Where are all the writers/authors at? Bonus points if you’re Canadian 🇨🇦 or a gamer 🎮

Y'all, discoverability is harder than ever. With Twitter all but gone and publishing being --in a mood-- your favorite authors are floundering. We don't know how to reach our fans or find new readers. Telling someone about a book you love is a really big deal. That's the #1 reason people buy books!

Arcane is such a good effing show. Like it’s gorgeous and the characters are SO well done that it’s become the new standard I hold my storytelling against.

Hello this week I became the published author of a full, completed 🏳️‍🌈 YA fantasy series and I’m going to shout about this on every platform!!!
