Hi all, introduction time! I'm a witchy queer author with chronic pain who writes contemporary romance. I'm currently in the middle of the Pagans & Pop Stars series about a former boy band and their friends (and exs) all finding love.

Looking for nature/animal-centric non-fiction book reccomendations for an 11 year old who’s not very confident in her English reading.

Is Diary of a Young Naturalist beyond that level, for example?

Now that I'm done drafting the Calamity's Leftovers duology it's on to the next story or I'll lose my mind! The next step is research for Drops of Gold, an urban fantasy I have loosely plotted.

So.

Anyone have book recommendations for folklore creatures & cryptids? I want to be respectful and-

Looking for book recs with a couple specifications: anything written in the past decade which, to your mind, is an example of “florid, flowery, or magniloquent prose” THANKS!

I am still looking for a book rec... Any #mythology nerds on Bluesky? Is #booksky a thing, or #mythsky?

I feel more people here have these kind of tastes and could give a good book recommendation. My friend is delving into Romantansy and i found out they lean towards the monster love flavoring with the tags of "enemies to lovers, male monster, female mc". Anyone know a book that covers this?

So there’s a lawyer going around BlueSky right now responding to everyone talking about the Anthropic book settlement by (1) urging people to opt out and (2) saying that they are representing authors who are opting out.

I'm gonna be real-real here: Bookstore Romance Day may not happen in 2026. By this time of year, I've usually secured at least a handful of sponsors & their backing helps pay for things like newsletter services & Canva & Zoom & internet, all of which are needed for planning & off-season events.

Hey social media, give me non-monogamous fantasy book recommendations. Not hard sci-fi, not love triangles, not something that is gonna make me depressed or have nightmares, just a frikken fiction where characters get to have relationships with more than ONE OTHER PERSON.

haha, a year. i am very sorry to report that somewhere in romancelandia, a white woman is probably writing this and is planning to self-publish something like this within weeks.
We're probably a year away from someone dropping what they'll describe as a "griping Romeo & Juliet story" about an ICE agent falling for a woman he tear-gassed while kidnapping her father.

It'll be written by a white woman from a law enforcement family, and she'll be *shocked* by the backlash.
They’re going to try, they’re going to find a very popular actor, and they’ll shoot it morosely, and they’ll tell you they’re really trying to “honor the story” of the people they targeted for kidnapping and detention amid this psychological study.

I’m in the crowd of people who feels really unseen. My art and my writing both. Part of why I’m on hiatus with my Naruto fanfic actually stems from being unseen. But the rest of it is related to locking in on promoing my original work.

Which also feels unseen! 🫠

Pls tell us when you like out stuff
I have spoken to no fewer than three writing friends who have had troubles feeling seen lately. It's a struggle I've felt I've had since starting out self-publishing and always just hard trying to feel like your stories matter. So if you have time to read someone's fics, please let them know you did

Bsky has crossed 40 million users, and I just need 20 of them to commission me to write a story for them this month.

(This could technically be 1 in a 2 million story 😆)

Saw a thread on table displays the other day, & while I did reply to that directly, I thought it would be fun to do a thread on it, too. Learn from my mistakes!

I forgot how helpful writing sprints are when you're having a block. My younger self didn't though--I was reminded about timed sprints from an old question I'd answered on Goodreads 😆
