Now that we’re finally PM official—my debut novel will be out NEXT YEAR! I love this book with my whole heart, and it’s been such a weird and winding journey to get here. I have so things to say and people to thank and it’s very overwhelming, but I’m so so excited to bring this book to the world. 🪐

Higher Magic book cover: an illustration of a stained glass window in the tower of a gothic university building with the moon rising behind it. Along the building, purple foxgloves and dark pink snapdragons grow. Moths flutter in the moonlight. The stained glass depicts a shield and book above the words Higher Magic in a wild branching font with swirling, ghost-like shapes beneath it. There is nearly-transparent text from the book in the image background. Caption reads out in 6 months available for pre-order now!
My slightly delayed March newsletter is out today, with audiobook news! buttondown.com/wallowingini...
Also... I have counted and recounted many times, using my fingers to be extra sure, and as of today it is indeed only 6 months until Higher Magic is published.

Screenshot of an X profile for @Matterebcca, an imposter mimic account of my Bluesky profile
Just an update re the imposter: they wised up & changed the name to something CLOSE to mine, but not actually right.
*That profile is not mine.*
I'm not on X for obvious reasons, so if you are still there, please do not engage with this person.
I just worry so much they'll hurt or trick someone

Hi friends: I’m being impersonated on X (and maybe here) and this person is asking people to get in touch to make books. I am not on X but was sent this screenshot to my website.
Can you please report this account, and spread the word? @bradfordagents.bsky.social @victoriastrauss.bsky.social
Hehehe

A graphic featuring Jen Sugden's blurb of Higher Magic. At the top of the page two line art hands hold the moonphases and stars. At the bottom of the page, Higher Magic sits between line art hands. The blurb reads: A magical university, found family, and a powerful championing of kindness, love, and compassion for others—this book is perfect for fans of Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries and The Winx Saga. “Higher Magic is simply brilliant: a delightful mash up of dark academia and nineteenth-century sensation fiction. Floyd is an exciting new voice in contemporary fantasy, and their debut is a higher kind of magic indeed.” Jen Sugden Author of High Vaultage
A Venn diagram featuring Higher Magic on the left and High Vaultage on the right. The overlapping text in the center reads: irreverent AF, did a Victorianist write this??? (complimentary), there's a mystery afoot!
Today I'm sharing another blurb for HIGHER MAGIC, my debut fantasy novel (out Oct. 7!) that combines the whimsical research of the Emily Wilde series with Babel's exploration of belonging & collective action.

A graphic featuring Leanne Schwartz's blurb of Higher Magic. At the top of the page two lineart hands hold the moonphases and stars. At the bottom of the page, Higher Magic hovers above a lineart hand with sparkles. The blurb reads: "Dorothe Bartleby is an absolute delight. For anyone who’s ever idly pondered returning to higher education for another degree, save yourself the crushing student debt and read Higher Magic instead. Floyd’s heartwarming debut conjures all the fond familiarity of academia with righteous critique of its worst parts. An outrageously original magic system, real and relatable characters, themes of belonging, self-determination, and community, A+ romance, and some of the best disability representation I’ve read—not to mention the charming talking skull—make this an entrancing page-turner." —Leanne Schwartz, author of A Prayer for Vengeance and To a Darker Shore
A venn diagram showing Higher Magic on the left and A Prayer for Vengeance on the right. In the overlap between circles text reads: neurodivergent MC who longs for acceptance, magical moon shenanigans.
A venn diagram showing Higher Magic on the left and To a Darker Shore on the right. In the overlap between circles text reads: a plan that goes horribly awry, the things we do for friends, fighting injustice!
Now that HIGHER MAGIC's cover is out in the world I can start sharing blurbs. @schwartzwords.bsky.social's made me laugh and then cry (in the best way)! @htpbooks.bsky.social

Calling this cover magical feels too on the nose, but isn't it gorgeous? Illustration by Imogen Oh with art direction by Tara Scarcello. I am over the moon (sorry not sorry). @htpbooks.bsky.social @bradfordagents.bsky.social #HigherMagic #2025Debuts #WritingCommunity #BookSky
Torn beige paper reveals a sliver of Higher Magic's cover featuring sparkling blue, purple, and turquoise shapes and the top of a skull. The graphic reads Higher Magic cover reveal coming soon!
Consider this a portent of imminent revelation. If I have read the signs correctly, something lovely is very likely to appear tomorrow. 😉
