Havenโt posted here for a while. The manuscript goes for dev edits tomorrow and Iโm freaking out about it. The other news is I have some artwork from the story which I adore! Marcin Roczniak is the artist, and you can find him on IG and Reedsy #authorsky

And you can even cry into it a little bit if that helps. No one will judge you. Well someone might but I wonโt I promise. Hope this helps ๐ซถ๐ผ

I realised then, that waiting for a one in a million chance around wasnโt cutting it!

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

So I'm opening my submission inbox to unagented trans authors in the UK until the END OF APRIL. I'm not currently open to general subs BUT if you're a trans author writing folk horror, weird, experimental, mystery, literary/upmkt fiction, take a look below ๐
