Arlina knows she must get and keep the king's interest if she is to ensure her family can move up in rank at court--but she would much rather flirt with the queen.

@dexmeade.bsky.social wrote a touching article expressing gratitude for the many authors that have helped them with queer representation in writing and in life. Please give it a read

To sum up my thoughts on worldbuilding:

Some people seem to think it's like a game where you allocate your stats, and if you have awesome worldbuilding, you must have sacrificed writing good characters

NOPE

You can do it all! You don't HAVE to worldbuild, but you can without sacrificing anything🥰

This is like asking us to choose a favorite child! lol

Dex's fav off the top of their head is the Sex Wizard series by Alethea Faust but also loves The Flesh of the Sea by Gislason and Lavigne and the DFZ trilogy by Rachel Aaron

Ashley's favs are Dealing with Dragons and Kushiel's Dart

Guess who just devoured Vyria's contribution to the bundle...

The Dragon and Her Princess is like a fairy tale. It's about a "Prince" seduced and kidnapped by a dragoness to protect "him" during a period of civil unrest.
You can currently get it AND AN AUDIO BOOK VERSION in the bundle linked

Cozy has become synonymous with low-conflict but the subgenre of cozy is so much more than that

Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Middle Grade: July-December 2025
Goat Magic by Kate Wheeler (August 19th) Destinies collide when a village goat herder meets the palace princess in Goat Magic! Trill, a spirited goat herder with a unique ability to communicate with her flock, yearns for a life beyond mountain pastures. Her “goat magic” feels common compared to the sorcery taught in the city’s prestigious magic schools, which are off-limits to her.

This is a great guide for folks looking at tackling making a cover themselves. Good quick easily digestible advice on form, colour, and some typography as well!
<3
So someone asked me to elaborate on this and I decided to just... write it myself instead. Have a blog post :p
