Frances White

Aww thank you!!

Sorry only just saw this as I don’t use bluesky much! I recommend query tracker, you can filter by genre etc. Also checking the agents of authors you enjoy or are similar to your books!

Recently read - Voyage of the Damned by Frances White

Adored this diverse magical murder mystery by a fellow @edinburghsff.com writer @franceswrites.bsky.social! The characters are so compelling and sensitively written, not to mention hilarious. Highly recommend!

Ahh thank you so much!

A review card for Voyage of the Damned reads: One of my favourite reads so far this year! Disaster-bisexual Dee is an adorable mess of a main character, stuck on a magical murderous boat trip from hell...

Thought I'd write some book reviews for #PrideMonth on these cute rainbow cards, only to find most of my reviews were already very queer and could just be copied over 😅
So that tells you something about my reading habits!

Happy International Asexuality day!! 🖤🩶🤍💜

It took me a long time to work out my identity, mainly because of lack of representation and knowledge of asexuality. I’m so glad that it’s becoming more widely known and fewer young people wrongly believe they are broken. ❤️

Loved doing this podcast! 🤩

Our lovely Patreon backers now have early access to this week's fun chat with the bestselling fantasy author, @franceswrites.bsky.social, who tells us about the journey to her huge debut success with Voyage of the Damned.

A four panel meme from "The White Lotus," S3, Ep,6, Panel 1: Saxton: Why can't you just like my geneative A*I art? Panel 2: Chelsea: You have to be vulnerable enough to be bad at something to be good at it, but you're too much of a coward. Panel 3: Chelsea: Because you're soulless. Panel 4: Saxton disassociating

Tideborn was launched on Tuesday in Manchester with big party! My thanks to @franceswrites.bsky.social for chairing, @illumicrate.bsky.social for sponsoring, the Waterstones Deansgate staff, family, friends, writers, readers.

Oh hey, Locus voting is still going on!!! I am wildly honored to have TLHBW appear the longlist, but also there are many other incredible works on here, and you should vote if you haven't already! Plus you can write in your faves! (I wrote in Voyage of the Damned by @franceswrites.bsky.social !)

Oh thank you so much. 😭💙

This magical gay murder cruise by @franceswrites.bsky.social was a highlight of this month’s reads. As a straight AAPI cis woman, I’ve never resonated so hard with a main character in my life and didn’t expect to have so much in common with a blonde boy in a shimmering tracksuit. Legend. 🐟 #booksky

Thanks so much! That’s so lovely to hear! 💙🐟
