Thanks to Onyx Storm, “Xaden is not white” is all over my timeline, so here’s this post again:

Karen Yin, author of the amazing resource The Conscious Style Guide, lost their home in one of the wildfires. If you can donate or share, that would be amazing! ❤️

I loved my first time participating in my library’s “blind date with a book.”

For Valentine’s Day, they wrapped books in brown paper and twine and only pasted the barcode on it. I unwrapped my book at home and read a collection of poetry about love. I was in high school and it made my day :)

Representation is important. I see authors who are queer and Filipino and trans or nonbinary and know that I can do this too. I’m thankful for authors who open up about how trad pub is harder on authors from marginalized communities…just, thank you for writing and sharing your experiences

Love it when bookshops or libraries arrange their books appropriately...

If your copy editor doesn’t use a style sheet, they’re not performing a copy edit. If your copy editor doesn’t give you the style sheet back with your edits, they aren’t providing the full scope of a copy edit.

Always ensure your copy editor uses a style sheet AND gives it to you when they’re done.

Hey, I’m Faith. I’m writing a cozy fantasy novel. One of the MCs cleans up magical traces and they’re non-binary. They move into the deep ocean and meet the other MC, who is half-human and half-tentacled.
I won’t be as active on Blue Sky as I am on Threads and IG. Nice to see you!
