May be the third best-known Ellen in SFF. I tell people how awesome books are for a living (especially ones with spaceships and magic). I also talk a lot about crafts, baking, and NYC history. She/her.

#Superman week seems like a great opportunity to reshare one of my favorite photos of all time, an engagement photo of me and @corawright.bsky.social, taken by @ellenbw.bsky.social, in the style of an old Lois & Clark promo shoot. Oh, to be so young and cute again!

You’re on your own re your autocorrect’s penchant for Waltz and Waltz’s, though. 🤷🏻♂️

On the correct possessive form of Walz, however, there is no controversy.

I'm taking my toddler to a convention for the first time this weekend. Wish me luck 🤪
I'm trying to figure out how to explain a convention in (fairly verbally precocious) 2-year-old vocabulary. My best attempt so far: "a party with a toy store for people who really like books, movies, and TV."

If you are in SFWA, you have a couple hours left to nominate in the Nebula Awards! One of the things I think a lot of people don't realize about the Nebulas is that not all that many people nominate, so your nomination REALLY MATTERS A LOT.
