If you're looking for an editor who is queer, AuDHD, disabled and approaches editing with a mentorship, cheerleading approach where I still tell you how to level up your book, but I don't make you feel like shit, I'm still booking for 2026! 🖤

3rd read of the year: Polysecure by Jessica Fern.

I learned a lot from this too, but it’s more academic.

2nd read of the year: The Ethical Slut by Janet W. Hardy & Dossie Easton.

I learned SO MUCH. Seriously, if you are in any type of relationship I recommend this book. I’m not a nonfiction reader, but this was so approachable, easy to read, and inspired a lot of introspection.

You want to publish your manuscript in 2026, but there's a roadblock: hiring an editor.

So many are out of your budget or recently raised their rates.

Here's why editing costs more than you'd think. And how you can save money during your #editing and publishing process.

Calling disabled characters “resilient” is often just a nicer way of saying “we’re fine letting the world hurt you.”

As a kid I won a contest through my high school library, and for the prize I got to pick any book I wanted. I picked one of the few Kurt Vonnegut books I hadn’t read yet. I’ll never forget that librarian and what that relationship meant to me.

Yes! More trans cyberpunk! If you’re a writer working on a story like this, let me know! I would LOVE to edit one!
Putting together a list of every cyberpunk book ever written by Trans+ person. Trad or self.

If you’ve got ‘em, drop em’ below.

To kick things off, Aubrey Wood’s modern masterpiece Bang Bang Bodhisattva.

Who would have thought transes would vibe with a genre that's all about expressionist transhumanism in times of brutal corporate oppression and the rule of corruption.

First read of the year: Hammajang Luck by Makana Yamamoto. AKA Heist Lesbians. Super queer and super fun, with one of my favorite things: friendship.

And while we’re at it, let’s remove fatphobic language, too.
It's 2026, and you are writers who know lots of words, so let's get rid of some ableist ones:

Deaf and blind as synonyms for ignorant ("fell on deaf ears" or "turned a blind eye to").

Crutch as a bad thing.

Crippled as a synonym for broken.

Crazy / insane / psycho when you mean bad/evil.

December #storygraph reading wrap-up! Comics, graphic novels, and manga dominated to help me get closer to my reading goal for the year, but still got in a few novels, including Dune: House Atreides which is 700+ words 😳 I’m reading every X-Men comic in order and checked a few off the list 😁
