It’s officially 2025, which means I can now say my debut novel comes out NEXT YEAR.

Since we’re talking about how much billionaires suck again, here’s a reminder that your local indie bookstore deserves your business this holiday season. They have gift cards and are happy to mail stuff out. Same goes for @bookshop-org.bsky.social. Buy books. Give books. Support bookstores.

My favorite tip on writing high-stakes dialogue comes from my playwriting teacher: take two monologues (or long chunks if it’s a book) from each character & have them alternate speaking. In real life, people speak over each other/don’t listen all the time, so it’s a fun framework to experiment with

I'm putting together a starter pack of 2026 debut authors!! There are many more to come and many more will be added before then so definitely follow along! 2026 debut group is an incredible cohort of authors so you definitely don't want to miss this!
