DAWNLESS is perfect for fans of romance amidst impending doom like in CRIER’S WAR by Nina Varela, as well as the exploration of grief and queer joy of TJ Klune’s UNDER THE WHISPERING DOOR.

a moodboard for project dawnless

Dawnless is a queer Sleeping Beauty retelling that follows Sleeping Beauty’s girlfriend. After a failed attempt to save their world, now tumbling into darkness, Dawnless explores grief and what it means to no longer have a chosen one.

currently querying :)

thank you!!

maybe i’m just new to bluesky and don’t know how it works but how do i join? do i just follow all?

You better have a library card (threat)

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

i’m a queer and trans author. it’s important to me that you all know that.

i’m watching this now and it’s so comforting

regardless of how creative you want to be, we still live in the framework of having to make money to live. that can make it harder to slow down and give projects the time to breathe.

You are better off letting it breathe than trying to suffocate yourself finishing something.

that’s SO exciting!! congrats!!

A picture of a coffee cup with the words emotional support coffee on it. the text over the image reminds the reader that seasonal depression around the holidays is hard and that you’re not alone. there is help.

thinking a lot about holiday and seasonal depression today. shared this on ig and felt it was worth sharing here too 🫶

Writing is an act of rebellion.
Writing is an act of creation.
Writing is an act of salvation.
Writing is an act of exploration.
Writing is an act of emotion.
Writing is an act of confession.
Writing is an act of speculation.
Writing is an act of reflection.
Keep writing.

it's Jane Austen's 249th birthday and I hope you'll celebrate by taking a turn about the room, developing a passion for dead leaves, inadvertently falling in love with the last person you could ever be prevailed upon to marry.

How to Write a Synopsis: A 🧵 for querying authors

A synopsis is more than just a plot summary. It’s another hook in your tacklebox. It should showcase your story’s emotional arc, nuanced characters, and narrative logic. But you can pick and choose what to highlight.

This is your reminder that writing is a political action.

She did one more flower to the audience, but her haunted, desperate look is haunting me. Our fingers brushed, and for a moment, I was a part of the production. theatre is magical ✨

so i went to my friend's production of Hamlet last night. When it got to Ophelia's flower scene, the actor for Ophelia handed flowers out, as she does. What made this special was the fact that the first flower, rosemary, for remembrance, she handed to ME! in the audience!

DAWNLESS is a queer Sleeping Beauty retelling that follows Sleeping Beauty’s girlfriend. After a failed attempt to save their world, now tumbling into darkness, DAWNLESS explores grief and what it means to no longer have a chosen one.

currently researching agents to query to represent DAWNLESS, my upper YA fantasy Sleeping Beauty retelling. It's so fun and exciting to think that someday one of these (or multiple) of these agents will love DAWNLESS as much as I do :) (my pitch is below if you're interested!)

hi everyone! i’m happy to be here. by way of introduction, i’m a sci-fi/fantasy author. i have one book out, and i’m querying my next one starting end of January.

you’re such a trooper!! i have ten or twelve pages typewritten that need transferred to scrivener but it’s feeling like this is the hardest thing i’ve ever done
