Stephanie Cooke

I haven't been very online lately, and I've felt really disconnected from pretty much everything. But I just want all my comic pals and peers to know that I am here rooting for you, and I can't wait to see all the amazing things y'all are working on ❤️

I'm very late to the party cause I'm not on here a lot these days but I can't wait to share these delightful stories with y'all very soon.

Cat's outta the bag! I'm one of the creators working on BABY GARFIELD over at Boom. Very excited to be a part of this project.

Hey illustrators/agents!

I’m a #kidlit art director starting work on a new picture book—we’re looking for: expressive, commercial, human characters; fantasy; magic; AND Mahjong! The tiles! The drama!

Please respond w/ samples + folio link.
Please no emails/DMs.

We're making a cozy co-op adventure called Capy Castaway!

This is a surefire way to destroy every bit of goodwill you've ever built up with this industry. AI is trained on the stolen work of the creators that primarily USE YOUR BUSINESS! Read the room.

Do NOT create chatbots based on creators you like. It is creepy. It is the wildest, nastiest, creepshit thing you can do omfg please act like someone normal raised you! This is for everyone in every fandom! Don't do this shit!

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most.

Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

Ahahahahaha BRITTTTTTTT! I'm so excited for tomorrow, can't wait to see you twice in a week 💖

Tomorrow I'll be at the Maybe Market! It's my last show of the year, and if you have any littles to shop for, come get some books from me and say hello 👋 There's lots of incredible vendors too!

A promo poster with a snowy purple sky, deep green pine trees at the bottom right and the bottom left a singing male cardinal. In the centre it says “the Maybe Market! December 13 11-5pm Christ church deer park 1570 Yonge st.”

Another promo poster, a light purple and pink bg with sparkles and the words “the maybe market Dec 13th” floating in the middle

Next up is my own market this Saturday! The Maybe Market is organized by me and Tory Woollcott with sporadic help from a few others. I thought maybe I’d start a little thread with all the vendor spotlights I’m posting to IG.

Ha! Yeah, he's a winner 😂

Ahhhhh stopppp! That makes me so happy to hear! Do they have a fave character 👀

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!
