Stephanie Cooke

Right, this event needs $1500 to happen. There are 600 participating bookstores & for most it’s their busiest sales day of the year, or is second only to Indie Bookstore Day / Small Business Saturday.

Editors/publishers, this is a no-brainer of an opportunity for your imprint. Romancelandia: pls RT

I know we all have a lot of other things to worry about right now but this is your PSA to get the latest covid booster & flu shot if you haven't already. It takes a couple weeks to build immunity and holidays will be here soon. (Stickers from my shop! shop.breelundberg.com/product/get-...)

A graphic of a browser window with the following quote: “A fun and delightful story that puts brilliant brains at the forefront of an action-packed adventure! A refreshing graphic novel that is sure to be a great addition to any library!” —Stephanie Cooke, author of ParaNorthern, Oh My Gods, and The Racc Pack

A graphic of a build up of browser windows on top of each other with the cover for "The Curie Society: Game of Code" on top and the text: out march 2026 pre-order today!

What's the buzz around The Curie Society: Game of Code? Check out what @hellocookie.bsky.social had to say and pre-order the book today! 👾👁️

😆😆😆 my lips are sealed! I'm glad you and your kiddos are enjoying Racc Pack that much though!

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

jennaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! ahh!!!

Hell yeah 😎

But how else are your books going to ward off monsters en masse

GIVE 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻PEOPLE👏🏻WHAT👏🏻THEY👏🏻WANT👏🏻🙃

it's that time of year again, so I'm on the hunt for an artist to work with on a new design for @autonocast.bsky.social

if you love drawing cars and robots and sci-fi scenes and are open for commissions, or you know someone who fits that description, drop a reply!

but what if it wards off monsters

I came on here to scream into the void about this and I deeply appreciate all the people who are already equally horrified

Launching next week!

Image reads "Celebrate!

Wait, I forgot an important one: DON'T QUIT YOUR JOB TO START A COMIC.

You can quit your job if and only if your comic is making enough money to sustain you. Maybe if you're a trust fund kid or something, but if that's the case, you've got bigger problems, like trying not be evil.

Howdy friends, I'm hosting a NEW CREATOR BREAKFAST at
@newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social this year for new / young / inexperienced comic creators, sponsored by ReedPop. If you want to meet and talk shop with peers, pros, and publishers, apply here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

White Squirrel and Andrea are almost single-handedly holding together several independent artist economies and this is a godsend to any intl people who were blindsided by US tariffs before their fulfillment process (but after purchase)!!

How to apologize: a short thread.

So. You've fucked up. You did or said or wrote something that angered and/or offended and/or hurt someone or many someones. You need to apologize--either because you were wrong, or because people are telling you to apologize. Which one is the case doesn't matter.

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it.

It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

I love genres like contemporary humour and diary stories, magical realism, fantasy, mythology, supernatural, folklore, zany animal adventures, fairy tales, and more. Also very open to IP work too!

Reach out for more info 💖

Fun fact: it originated in Toronto as a sport for women and femmes, and used to be delightfully campy like roller derby meets WWE.

Funny, but not as entertaining as @hellocookie.bsky.social and Mel Valentine Vargas' PILLOW TALK.

The colorful cover of the graphic novel The Do-Over by Rodrigo Vargas and Coni Yovaniniz. It features characters Mariana in the middle, holding up a smart phone; Zoe to her left holding up color swatches; and Everly to her right holding up a comb and hair cutting scissors.

The cover of the graphic novel Pillow Talk by Stephanie Cooke and Mel Valentine Vargas. Front and center is the main character Grace Mendes a.k.a. Cinderhella in the middle of a competitive pillow fight. She’s leaping towards her opponent.

Happy #Letterer Appreciation Day! Wanted to take a moment to spotlight some of the books I’ve been lucky enough to work on, including The Do-Over series by @letsgorodrigo.bsky.social and @kurisquare.bsky.social and Pillow Talk by @hellocookie.bsky.social and @onlinevalentine.bsky.social

Trying so hard to get back to writing today, but both of my pets are farting up a storm, and breathing has become perilous...so if I manage to actually get anything done, it'll be a small miracle.

We are unfathomably lucky to have Leslie in our community. A rare and talented gem of a person who radiates everything she stands for.

She not only had a booth this weekend, but was actively moving one of her kids to college DURING all of this. It would’ve been so easy to say she didn’t have the spoons to do something but she put herself in front of security and police, acted as our voice, and tirelessly championed artists.
