Here is a handout I made for my kid’s class last week, when I went in to talk to them about making books. I Frankensteined together a bunch of art I already had to make it, and filled other stuff in. But it was a big hit, so I’m sharing it here in case you know any kids interested in making books!

Let’s make books handout for kids, detailing various roles in making books; author, illustrator, editor, designer, marketing/publicity, librarians/booksellers/teachers and finally readers.

Two worksheets, “be a writer” with a writing mad lib, and “be an illustrator” with some drawing prompts.

Two more worksheets, “be an editor” with editorial marks to practice on some editable sentences, and “be a cover designer” with four books needing covers.

Two final handouts: “be a librarian, bookseller or teacher” with six kids and six books to match, and “be a reader” with preferences in genre and types of books to narrow your reading preferences to help find more books to enjoy.

Good buddies of Nepenthes! Pitcher plants are not ruthless predators but friendly neighbors for a lot of other little creatures, offering them food, shelter and toilet; and their poops benefit the plant in return! Nepenthes related fauna are just so adorable 💚

Sharing my favorite art I’ve made as a way to celebrate my birthday today!

Digital illustration depicting a humanoid woman handing a flower to a giant, horned spirit. The spirit holds out their hand to accept the offering from her.

Below this illustration reads: “Marit had a gift for the spirit!”

A digital illustration in the style of a vintage storybook. At the edge of a forest, a girl wearing a hooded cardigan meets a long, slender creature. The girl reaches out her hand as if to touch the creature's snout.

A digital illustration in the style of old print. A large two-headed beast with dark fur emerges from a cave. It lifts its heads to make eye contact with a redheaded child sitting above the cave’s entrance.

A digital illustration in the style of a block print. A humanoid figure wearing a red cloak stands next to a long, segmented creature that resembles a carrot. The creature’s body weaves in-and-out of dark bushes.

It's Strange Bedfellows' BOOK BIRTHDAY TODAY!!! You can now officially purchase it in stores! I'm gonna be adding to this thread over the next hour or so to talk about it a bit and thank everyone who contributed~

If you're in NA and want to grab a copy, you can do so here: www.arielries.com/links/

The cover for the graphic novel Strange Bedfellows

In the not-too-distant future, most of humanity resides on its last-ditch effort at Meridian, a remote alien planet where you’re more likely to be born superhuman than left-handed.

None of that is important to Oberon Afolayan. Since his mildly public breakdown, his whole life seems to be spiraling out of control—from dropping out of university to breaking up with his boyfriend, it seems like only a karmic inevitability when he wakes up one day with the ability to conjure his dreams in the real world.

Oberon’s newfound powers come with a facsimile of his high school crush, Kon, who mysteriously dropped off the face of the planet almost three years ago and who is a little more infuriating (if not also infuriatingly hot) than Oberon remembers.

Kon makes it his mission to turn Oberon’s life around, and while they struggle to get a handle on his powers and his disastrous personal life (not to mention the appearance of strange nightmare creatures), it turns out this dream version of Kon has secrets of his own—dangerous ones.

Oberon might have more on his plate than he originally thought, but is giving up his dreams—even the one he might have accidentally fallen in love with—the only way to find happiness in reality?

Ethan Aldridge webcomic!!!! We stay winning!!!!!!! 😭🙌

Ethan M. Aldridge @ethanmaldridge.bsky.social · Mar 3

I'm excited to announce my new project. Sable: A Ghost Story is an ongoing, long-form webcomic that will begin posting later this year. It's gothic, it's hand-drawn, and it's about talking animals. I can't wait to share.

A cover for Sable: A Ghost Story, showing a white-furred anthropomorphized marten wearing a red knit sweater and carrying a flashlight. There is a nervous look on his face, as a skeletal figure looms out of the dark hall behind him.

I strongly encourage readers of indie queer and especially trans books to start using itchio as more of us authors move away from Amazon. Authors get a bigger cut, you can tip, and, most importantly, you will actually own your ebooks instead of just licensing them from Amazon.

One thing I absolutely love about itch.io is that it lets me pay more

No, seriously! I love putting in some extra, knowing that it’s going to an indie creator
