He pulls her up the bank and pushes her down, and her laugh is both startled and delighted, and her grin rivals the sun in its brightness.

A group of people including a woman in a red dress are on horseback, looking over a city. There is a bay with a fortress across from them, and a bridge connects the land and island.

Havenโ€™t posted here for a while. The manuscript goes for dev edits tomorrow and Iโ€™m 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

Listen 2025 is WILD and itโ€™s totally ok to channel Ozzy Osborne and eat like 3 massive burritos in one day or drink a soup bowl full of coffee in one gulp. And you can even cry into it a little bit if that helps. No one will judge you. Well someone might but I wonโ€™t I promise. Hope this helps ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

I received a rejection from an agent at 7am on a Sunday, and that afternoon someone who beta read for me messaged to say she is still excitedly waiting for me to publish the book so her friends can read it. I realised then, that waiting for a one in a million chance around wasnโ€™t cutting it!

Image of a sidewalk/kerb with a drain uncovered. Two beastly looking dogs, one probably a husky, one a retriever maybe, are underneath looking out with matching shit eating grins. 
The caption says, we ate that clown, with a red balloon next to the words.

Some people hate the revision stage. I love it. The first draft is the hardest part for me; everything gets easier after that (except marketing ๐Ÿ˜…). I love watching my work become better right before my eyes.

My husband thinks Iโ€™m nuts (as usual). Iโ€™ve had my first rejection and Iโ€™m so happy, because Iโ€™m actually putting myself out there and chasing something Iโ€™m passionate about. Iโ€™m sure this elation will wear down by the hundredth one though ๐Ÿ˜‚ #amquerying

On that note:

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.

Pretty sickened by UK's Supreme Court ๐Ÿคฎ

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 ๐Ÿ‘‡
