I have three slots for each for Q4.

Strategy consults are $250, and include a SWOT analysis, comp analysis, and an action plan to meet your goals.

Editing starts at $350.

Contact info is in my bio!

I haven’t been on here much because social media in the hellscape that is late stage capitalism veering into fascism is — SURPRISE! — terrible for my mental health, but I wanted to share that my books are open for bookish social media marketing strategy consults, and copy/line editing.

I’ve been laughing about Silver Elite discourse and theories about trad pub experimenting with “authorless campaigns” to see if they can use AI to create “original” IP.

LOLOL.

Please. Your publicist or editor has definitely already sat through a “lunch & learn” on the ethics of AI in publishing.

Petition to name a new #romancelandia subgenre based on the vibes of Ali Hazelwood’s DEEP END:

SweetDSM, pronounced sweetie-SM

…Okay, I’m still workshopping it but it made sense in my head before I typed it out…

I’ve been insanely busy and I am now up to 84%!!!

PLEASE CLAP.

My newest mission for the year is to get my NetGalley ratio above 80%.

I’m currently at 57%.

Pray for me.

This is a question for #knitsky: I am about 2 weeks into a bout of De Quervain tenosynovitis (read as: thumb to wrist tendon injury). I was knitting socks on 2.25mm dpns and now it’s too small to knit comfortably.

Is a project on say, 4.0mm or 6.5mm needles doable or should I just rest entirely?

Black American friends make sure their other Black American friends don't forget to eat black eyed peas and collard greens on New Year's.

In the mood to read something with a fat girl getting absolutely railed and adored. #romancelandia, help!

All I’m saying is that I’ve never read a bad Rebekah Weatherspoon, but I have frequently found myself screaming and buying copies for friends and family because I’m tired of having to snoop through their stuff to get the copies they borrowed from me back…

Say less, fam! Bought my copy!

My credentials?

- 15 years of digital and direct response marketing
- 5 years of romance marketing and social media support for indie authors and romance bookstores
- 2 years directly spent working at a top 10 publishing house
- unquantifiable time alpha & beta reading for indie authors

In 2025, I would like to work with more romance authors on editing and marketing strategies.

If you’re looking for help, email me at Brittney (at) litandknits (dot) com to set up a time to chat.

I work with all budgets at this stage and I just want to give back to #romancelandia.

romance forever.

We all grew up and raised hell on twitter, Blue is like our retirement home. Dont be over here with all that noise. Sit ya ass down and act like you got some sense.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!

If you read historical romance why? What draws you to it? If you don’t, why don’t you? #rombktalk

MAN, LISTEN… that really is the whole vibe.

the sagittarius urge to blow up your life just to feel something

I’m international and haven’t learned the local translation for psspsspss so the stray kitties will love me.

Unfortunately, I’m currently in Botswana, so it’s an international supply chain issue, lol

When will it be my turn to be the next subject of the Cat Distribution System?

I just want a little kitty to show up so my family can’t say no.

Apologies! I don’t think Bluesky doesn’t allow me to thread like I would on other platforms, so I was collecting the actual text for replies. The photos are purely decorative — the content is threaded in the post.

I asked for cozy Black romance recommendations on Threads, and I had over 70 author names dropped into my mentions over the last 24 hours. At least half of those I had never read before!

I’m working on a list of those new-to-me authors, but in the meantime, here are ones I have read and enjoyed!

Nauseously optimistic is the vibe for today. May this post age well.
