Planning my #AWP schedule tonight. If you're part of a queer panel, event, or off site reading, let me know about it. I want to go!

I'm putting together a list of bookstagrammers and book bloggers to send ARCs to, so if you want a queer travel nonfiction themed book in your inbox, reach out! 🌈

Cis journos who fancy themselves our allies - one of the best things you could do right now is push some human interest stories about trans people like this into the mainstream.

I just learned that I have five free ebooks of *Action without Hope* that I can give away— I am told they can each work on up to five different devices “once you download the free software.” Please hit me up via dm if you’d like one. Solidarity 🌿

Just saw a byline credited to "reporter assisted by AI" and threw up a bit in my mouth. That's one publication I won't be pitching!

first it was pink washing, now it's greenwashing.

Makes sense for a company that's obsessed with hanging onto relevance and user numbers at any ethical cost

BNPL for rent are you fucking kidding me have we learned nothing

Yay, let's do it 🍵📚

Any queer writers heading to AWP in Baltimore this year? Always happy to connect, especially in *these times*

Sitting down to go over the last of my book edits right now!

The Trump admin has shut down the CIA’s World Factbook, a country reference that for six decades has provided data on birth and death rates, major exports, and more. Long used by government officials and by researchers, educators, and journalists, the database was taken offline today.

That works!

I also have a list of retailers on my website, so readers can choose their preferred way to buy: lindseydanis.com/outontheroad/

Ordering from your local indie bookstore is ALWAYS appreciated. Tagging one of mine, @oblongbooks.bsky.social

👋My debut nonfiction book comes out this May.
