Amie Jordan

Like imagine struggling to hit 10k? That’s just extra waffle I know my editor will swiftly cut out per every 7 or so chapters on a first draft 😂

Talking to my best mate about her job and the uni essays she has to read and grade is fascinating. Author must be the only profession to whom the word counts these students are complaining they’re struggling to hit sounds like cruel and tortuous shackles 😅😭

Some days all I can think about is the fact that my friend’s mum is called Merlin and her Aunt (Merlin’s sister) is called Joan OfArc (OfArc is her middle name)

Anyway, as it stands we won't ever get married because he's not on board with the fancy dress element that is a requirement for me. I will say though that I think he can be talked round. And if so I'll print this thread on the back of the invites.

lol jk, this was a catalyst for a series of weird little coincidences falling into place about a week later at just the right moments, so much so it's made Miss Cynical over here start to wonder if fate really does exist? 12yrs of intentionally single man hating over in 1 night. love of my life fr

This crashed & burned about a week after lmfao

men. laborious as fuck.

I've been so bad at keeping up with Blue Sky. Or any socials. Or any book marketing. Or writing n general. Or just anything. Just being an adult. Just existing. Does it ever get any easier?! At newly-33 i'm starting to fear not

Come sit around the campfire as we ask @amiescool.bsky.social all the questions! What’s her writing style? What's up with the tunnels under Manchester? 👀 Is she team Edward or team Jacob? 🔎 Can she spill the secrets about book 3? 🤫 #CampYA

A hot guy has just correctly used ‘laborious’ to describe something, and I’m not sure if it’s simply testament to how bad the pickings are on hinge in your 30s that this could be the hottest thing that’s happened recently? But we have to get married now. (He doesn’t know it yet.)

niche, but as a heavily tattoo'd woman and a writer, I really would love someone to commission me to write an article analysing the various reactions or comments I've received regarding them. Specifically men, and why they only ever seem to pick certain ones to point out & start a conversation on.

Happy Publication Day to ALL THE LOST SOULS by @amiescool.bsky.social 📚

The sequel to All the Hidden Monsters! This razor-sharp YA romantasy has an addictive slow-burn romance, twisty crime and heart-warming friendships. Perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, with a touch of Rivers of London

book 2 pub day tomorrow taking me out of debut author into regular author with multiple books. Absolutely metal life update for that 8 year old girl that used to sit in her bedroom writing stories just to escape mundane reality in which magic didn't exist

CONGRATULATIONS to @amiescool.bsky.social and to her fantastic editor for being included in this incredible shortlist for the 2025 #BranfordBoaseAward! 📚🎉

Devout lover of blasphemous memes, here is the t-shirt I've taken great joy in wearing today

It started out with a kiss how did it end up like this? (it was only a kiss, it was only a kiss!) x

asked on insta why Good Friday is called such in reeeally bad faith just to make a cheap joke this morning & the amount of people replying it stands for 'gods only offspring dies' is making my practicing-christian-albeit-a-rebellious-perhaps-even-offensively-so eye twitch😭

Stop being so stupid 😂

Ngl it was actually a very nice night, they were all women in heavily male dominated fields and so they were very self aware 😅

Kidlit colleagues, just a reminder that JK Rowling *funded* this challenge over the definition of women at the Supreme Court. Every time you choose to work with her, platform her, take a stance that aligns with her, buy her books, nominate her for more awards, she uses that and funds hate.

cannot wait for the topic of AI to inevitably come up so I can ruin dinner with my expletive thoughts on it stealing my work to train itself with 💅

long story how I got into this situation in the first place but tomorrow I'm going to dinner with a group of strangers, I know their nationalities & work sectors but that's it til I get there.

And it's just me and a load of people that work in 'tech' 😂🤦‍♀️ (one, I think, works both tech & 'services')

Don't know why submitting my self-employed tax returns makes my heart pound 😅 not like my meagre income that I have spreadsheeted down to the last penny is ever gonna flag me as a massive tax fraudster so WHAT even scares me so much 🤦‍♀️😂

A great round up - thanks so much for the feature and kind words!

Presenting my new book how men present fish.

Out May 8th - pre order now.

I grew up with only girl cousins so Jasper was a shock to the system for all of us anyway really but this kid has pulled out two of his own teeth this week that were wobbly bc he 'couldn't be bothered waiting for them to fall out of their own'

boys are truly unhinged ???

a man wearing ear buds is drinking a glass of beer Alt: guy drinking wine

someone's just tagged me in a review that was 4* and opened with saying they loved the book, but then the whole review was just a list of things they didn't like 😂😭

Is this... is this the new way to get round the 'don't tag us in bad reviews' rule 💀

can't stop laughing at jasper telling me his mate was upset school declined a 4 week holiday request, but then half an hour later tells me completely unrelated that kid has been off sick for 3 weeks now and he hopes he's okay. Absolutely not put 2 and 2 together there😂🤦‍♀️

my laughter is getting more and more unhinged as I try to edit this manuscript down to under 100k 😂
