Kade Dishmon

I'm acquiring middle grade and young adult fiction for Peachtree and Peachtree Teen! Especially looking for horror, mystery/thrillers, grounded speculative fiction, contemporary, and romance. Authors and agents, check out my #mswl 📖

tattoo you say? 👀

I can't stress this enough. Being a great writer requires you being an enthusiastic reader. Read in your genre and out of it. (Yeah, even those kinds of books you swear aren't for you occassionally. You might be surprised.) Devour as much as you can.

Congratulations!!

Trump administration removes Rainbow Flag from Stonewall National Monument The Trump administration removed a large Rainbow Flag from a flagpole at the Stonewall National Monument, the National Park Service confirmed to Gay City News

They have now removed the Pride flag from the Stonewall Inn.

Erasure. Just like the Nazis.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARTEMIS

Trump administration sends letter wiping out addiction, mental health grants The Trump administration sent hundreds of letters Tuesday terminating federal grants supporting mental health and drug addiction services.

Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA.

He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.

My book is an Indie Ink nominee! I’m so glad my little queer, disabled stories are resonating with people, and it would mean the world to me if you can head to indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-... and cast your vote for:

✨best cover
✨best disability rep by a disabled author
✨best mental health rep

Oh look it's 2 cool people who are so good 😭

A I age showing a typical collection bucket for the salvation army which is read with a lid holding mechanism on a tripod holder. There is a big stop/do not symbol over the hand depositing money with the words "we don't donate to the Bigot bucket" over the bottom bucket section

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Cover of AND THE TREES STARE BACK by Gigi Griffis

✨AND THE TREES STARE BACK by @gigigriffis.bsky.social releases in 1 week, so don't forget to order a copy ✨

This gripping anti-imperialist YA folk horror is a raw, honest, and deeply human tale of hope and survival in the face of political dehumanization. I love it, and I hope you will too!

Cover of And The Trees Stare Back by Gigi Griffis

Back cover of And The Trees Stare Back, featuring a blurb from meeee! "With deftly evocative prose, Gigi Griffis leads us into a feral, perilous landscape where nothing is what it seems and everyone is keeping secrets. The bog looms in the liminal shadows between history and science fiction, propaganda and fairy tale, blurring them into a labyrinth that only love and solidarity can thread. Haunted, hopeful, and timely."

HEY I bet you need a creepy genre-bender involving haunted swampy woods! and you're in luck bc this one is weird and great and comes out in 10 days!

I got to yell about it **officially**, as you can see on the back cover 💅💀

Thanks for the copy, @kadedishmon.bsky.social!

So thankful for your kind words about the book and for your time! Glad you enjoyed :)
