Moodboard titled AN AGENT’S GUIDE TO KISS THE WALL! With pitch (same as body of post), comps (Pole Position by Rebecca J. Caffrey, Icebreaker by Hannah Grace, and Yuri!! On Ice), and tropes (enemies to lovers, forced proximity). Visuals include rainbows, NASCAR tracks, stars, sparkles, and a motorhome embracing the sunset).

When Corey Wilder and Grayson Steele’s motorsports teams merge shortly before the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series, the drivers are forced to set their heated rivalry and mutual attraction aside if they want to make it to victory lane. #questpit #q #a #r

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. The graphic also contains the following caption: Cover Reveal. Available for pre-order!

✨🌕 COVER REVEAL 🌕✨

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

400+ years after the "First Thanksgiving" most Americans have no idea that the Wampanoag people are still here. My tribe, the Aquinnah Wampanoag, is on Martha's Vineyard and we're still fighting for our land and rights. We’re also doing some cool stuff. 🧵👇 if you’d like to learn more & support us

It’s so good but it’s also so heavy that I must watch in portions and it’s so easy to feel left behind 🥲

SWINDLED by T. L. Coughlin Now represented by Emily Forney at BookEnds Literary Centered moodboard: A box of vials, an acrobat dangling from red fabric, a red Chinese lantern, a girl with gilded gold and a black lace shirt with bright red lips, red thread, a silhouette of an empress, the coliseum, a dandelion on fire, and an ancient stone doorway with a red and gold curtain in front. Trope List: - Multiracial rep - Interwoven Roman & Chinese Myths - Competition of Circuses - Morally gray con artist MC - Collector of Goddess-Gifted Humans - Fate being an absolute B**** Background of draped dark red circus fabric with two shattered gold corners on the upper left and bottom right.

I am THRILLED to announce that I am now represented by the incredible @emilykaitlin.bsky.social of BookEnds Literary!! ✨

I know that to protect our hearts, we’re not supposed to have dream agents, but the moment I heard Emily’s passion and vision for SWINDLED, I knew I’d found mine!

I’m thrilled to announce I’ve signed with Penelope Burns at Gelfman Schneider. Penelope is a force to be reckoned with, a sharp and discerning eye and an equally kind spirit. A powerhouse in every sense of the word, I am so pleased to be partnered with such an amazing agent.

As much as I love Arcane, I find stories without any threads of hope really hard to consume. I don’t think I’ll ever have it in me to write grimdark fantasy 🫣

Author of So Let Them Burn and the forthcoming This Ends In Embers Kamilah Cole's WICKED ENDEAVORS, a YA romantasy duology set in a Spanish Renaissance-inspired kingdom, about a vengeful teen who cons her way into a high society of elite witches, only for her revenge to be threatened by her warring feelings for both a manipulative enemy prince and the stoic childhood friend who betrayed her, pitched as a love letter to the power of Black women's anger, to Alexandra Hightower at Little, Brown Children's, in a six-figure deal , at auction, in a two-book deal, for publication in summer 2026, by Emily Forney at BookEnds (world).

✨ YA BOOK NEWS ✨

I'm so excited to announce that my next YA duology, a romantasy called WICKED ENDEAVORS, is coming in Summer 2026!

If So Let Them Burn was about the power of love, then Wicked Endeavors is about the poisonous yet motivating power of hate. Black female rage abounds in this one 😈

On a lilac background, roman pillars and grapevines frame the test: An Editor's Guide to my 107k Adult Romantic Fantasy. Comps: The Bone Shard Daughter, Seven Faceless Saints, The Jasmine Throne, The City of Dusk. Elements: Sapphic slow burn, Burning down empires, Bath Scene, Religious astral magic, HIGH stakes

Gold filigree frames a picture of a curly haired brunette in a navy tunic dress staring hopelessly into the face of a fat woman in a pink and silver chained outfit, whose long black hair falls into her face. The pair are backlit by peachy light. Below text reads: Within an empire built on revisionist history, Mita knows the truth. She must kill the emperor before his conquest shatters the astral realm and ignites a cataclysm. But her feelings for the princess she must manipulate are growing. Mita must decide if she can let go of her feelings to prevent destruction — or if her love for Catryn will end them all.

Hey fam! Thought I should introduce myself and my book!

I am a sapphic author of SFFH and my fantasy about a spy who must collapse an empire from within and the princess she is falling for is currently on sub!

Sorry I haven’t been here as much folks! It’s hard to maintain so many different platforms at once 😵‍💫

A big golden lab smiles up at the camera on a red rug

Sammy’s cataracts don’t stop him from scavenging for lost balls (never from the neighbors yard, nooo 😉) and he loves them so much he will take them on his walks. Store toys just aren’t as good as foraged toys

A moodboard with an image of yellowing cattails, a golden capped mushroom in the dark, blue glowing jelly fish, a red haired woman staring pensively, dark grey clouds with the Taylor Swift lyrics "I knew you Leaving like a Father Running Like Water" from 'Cardigan', a picture of hands reaching for the sun over water, a red salamander on the forest floor, a woodland scene backlit by the sun, and mushrooms from an underside angle with sunlight filtering through.

Cheeky little aesthetic for mushroom book! This book drew so much inspiration from the wetlands of New England and the environments my mother taught me about growing up and why it's so important to protect! #writingcommunity #fantasy
