November is trans and gender non-conforming empowerment month. Flags for the various trans and related identities are at the top. Four books are displayed. Here are the authors' instagram usernames (please follow them!): Red Green Blue by PS Shai @psshaiauthor The Rebel Foxes by Noah Hawthorne @neshamapublishing A Handful of Words by Wyrd Lea @wyrd_lea (available at Smashwords and as an ARC). Soul Haven by Shannon Curry (unsure if on Insta. Book of poetry available on Barnes & Noble's website).

Same alt text as slide one, but now three books are displayed. Here are the authors' instagram usernames (please follow them!): Petals & Blades anthology by Xaneria Ann @xaneriaann, Colby Beattley, A.P. Sessler, Katie Leonard, Russell Hemmell, Vivian St. Crow, and Kiley Bishop (sorry about not being able to locate some accounts) Grim Reflection by A. Lawrence @akiwitch Dawn of the Obsidian Sun by RN Barbosa @barbosbooks_

Same alt text as slide one, but now three books are displayed. Here are the authors' instagram usernames (please follow them!): The Silence of Storms by Nico Silver @nicosilverbooks Queer Windows: Volume 2 Summer by Cay Fletcher @cayfletcher The Captain and the Guppy by Noah Bodie @highlycaffeinated.art

Here's a bingo card for nonbinary November you can use. The squares say: indie/small press author; recommended by a nonbinary friend/creator; disability rep; your favourite genre; young adult (YA); nonbinary joy; Indigenous author / MC; book in the colours of the nonbinary flag; black or latine author / MC; a genre you don't normally read; fantasy; nonfiction / poetry; horror; graphic novel; 2025 release; a book from a country other than your own. I'm not sure who created this because I've seen a few people posting it. If you created it or know who it was, please leave a comment and I'll update this post to credit them.

Please choose a book or two (or ten!) and give the authors reviews (or even just star ratings). They help tremendously!! If you can't, a share would help them out too! 🩵🩷🤍

so many people were entertained

of resistance

but refuse to face reality

when it's right in front of your face

The book is in the middle. It's called To Speak with the Stars and has a volcano goddess on the cover.

My husband and I have been obsessed with Hazbin Hotel for quite some time. In the beginning I was dead set on not drawing any fanart for it as I didn’t think I would ever be able to pull that off with my art style. Yet, here we are so have some Alastor🦌😈📻 #alastor #hazbinhotel

You definitely pulled it off! 💯😍

Hi! Check out my 🌈📚 rec list tag on Tumblr: www.tumblr.com/profiterole-...
or on Dreamwidth (with older posts on LJ linked at the bottom): profiterole-reads.dreamwidth.org/tag/rec+list

An old western-style wanted poster with a sketch of a volcano goddess with long hair and slightly-pointed ears caressing the face of a faun with big curved horns and long wavy hair. Wanted: ARC (advance reader copy) readers. Reward: a dark high fantasy with a dash of romance.

The book cover is in the centre. Words are around it with arrows pointing at it: dark high fantasy; multi point of view; ice dragons and magma merfolk; romance without spice; telepathy; found family; disabled and neurodivergent rep; queer-normative world; magic gifted by the gods.

An illustration of a dragon with four wings like a dragonfly. A colour digital painting of the same dragon (just his head with blue scales and silver multifaceted eyes). A postcard image of a snowy mountain. Torn pieces of paper are arranged like a collage. On them, text: Have no fear, mortal. You are a friend of the gods and of my kin. I will show restraint and not consume you. Yet.

Two elves. One is pale-skinned with a long dark braid with teal highlights. She clutches the forearm of a dark-skinned elf with black dreadlocks. The dark-skinned elf looks at her while she stares in awe at the fire magic he's creating in his open palms. The text reads: Underestimate me. That'll be fun. Quote by Rebel Circus.

✨️ Anyone else want to join my ARC team? ✨️

😊 No deadline to review (but appreciated if on/before Sept 22)!

Being an indie author is wild because I’m both the unpaid intern and the stressed out CEO… of a company that sells feelings.

i am perceived 😭😂

A blue dragon with four wings and a small grin on his face. The text reads: Probably needed a hug... Character art by @arelyrose_

The same blue dragon image as slide 1. The text reads: Led a secret society of ice dragons for a thousand years instead.

A close-up of the dragon's face. Around him is the stylized line drawing of a golden sun with a blue background. The text reads: In order to rise, you must first fall. To Speak With the Stars. A dark high fantasy. Follow along to find out when it releases!

I can’t believe it has been two years now since Tears of the Kingdom came out and that’s when I drew this Link fanart. I was so obsessed with the whole game back then and honestly, it hasn’t changed one bit. 💁‍♀️ #link #tearsofthekingdom #legendofzelda #totk #fanart

⚔️🧝‍♂️😍

A volcano goddess (with dark skin with orange molten rivulets flowing through it) looks into the eyes of a faun (with light skin, white wavy hair, long faun ears, and glowing golden horns). The background is a pattern of golden constellations and has two lineart drawings of crescent moons with flowers on them. Character art by @gagakumadraws.bsky.social. The text reads: Meet the Races of To Speak With the Stars. Faun.

The same digital art of the volcano goddess and faun is in the bottom right corner. The background is golden constellations. Character art by @gagakumadraws.bsky.social. The text reads: highly telepathic; hair colour can be green, teal, violet, ginger, or white; afraid of fire (except for Thyme, who's in love with a lava goddess); vegetarian; celebrate everything (and I mean everything) with food, drink, and music.

In the centre is artwork of two elves. One is light-skinned with a long braid of black and teal. The other is dark-skinned with dreadlocks decorated with gold bands. Around the art are circles of bright flame and then a background of starry skies. Character art by @gagakumadraws.bsky.social. Text reads: To Speak With the Stars. A dark high fantasy. Follow along to find out when it releases!

Last but not least, ✨️fauns✨️

I fell in love with fauns due to Mr. Tumnus from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

That's a tough one! I think I'd go with Tempered in Ash by Willo Glenn. It's a high fantasy in a queer-normative world and has the perfect balance of action and humour 😊

a blue shark-like humanoid woman with a large dorsal fin, a long tail, and shimmering, speckled skin. She is wearing a frilly yellow sundress that is slightly off-shoulder, giving her a shy, bashful appearance. Her expression is nervous but sweet, with one hand touching her cheek and the other held loosely at her side

It’s the end of #mermay so it’s time for one fish lady for the road. Based on a whale shark, one of my top ten shark and shark adjacent guys
