I went to my first #FedCon over the weekend. I’m so overwhelmed by all of the kindness, enthusiasm, and friendship I received from every single person I met. My heart is truly full. ❤️🖖🏼

Pretty sickened by UK's Supreme Court 🤮

So I'm opening my submission inbox to unagented trans authors in the UK until the END OF APRIL. I'm not currently open to general subs BUT if you're a trans author writing folk horror, weird, experimental, mystery, literary/upmkt fiction, take a look below 👇

Thrilled to share that I’ll be moderating the panel “ANXIETY, ENVY OR FEAR?—EMOTIONS IN THRILLERS” at this year’s ThrillerFest in NYC. This is an incredible lineup of authors! If you’re attending make sure you join us! 📚✍️

This is how they get you. With fun stuff, the "Ooh, let's make action figures of ourselves, ha, ha, ha." Soon enough AI becomes so deeply embedded everywhere in our society we can't opt out if it. Ever. Slippery slope, people.

I can’t be at the physical protest in London today, but I’m standing in solidarity alongside my fellow authors, creatives, and members of the @societyofauthors.bsky.social in demanding that Meta be held accountable for their theft of thousands of books, novels, and research papers. #DoTheWriteThing

What a brilliant, timely, and fervent warning wrapped up in a painstakingly poignant story. Well done, Suzanne. And may the odds that we can create a better future be ever in our favor. #sunriseonthereaping
