I'm feeling called out by this. LOL.
Wise words from a wise lady.

Won’t be able to stop myself :)

ONE WEEK to go until the Sydney Mardi Gras Film Festival, and only 3 weeks until MAGIC on the big screen here in Australia! There are still tickets available for the Queer Shorts program on Feb 22, so come and wear your fave #motherlandfortsalem or #wynnonaearp shirt so we can find each other!

#TBRuary Day 5: Gender Spectrum - this is fun :) On my TBR is Bang Bang Bodhisattva - trans cyberpunk novel by trans NZ author @briewoodfiction.bsky.social Aubrey Wood. I love it when someone can take an old, sometimes tired genre and breathe new life into it, and it has a playlist!

Hahaha, I believe this covers me for #TBRuary Day 4 as well :) Something translated from a language I don't speak!

#TBRuary Day3: I have "Nordic Visions: The Best of Nordic Speculative Fiction" anthology-edited by Margrét Helgadóttir. I have always been fascinated by Nordic cultures, have lived there, speak Danish, and their specfic is seldom translated into English, so this feels like a rare treat. #booksky

#MotherlandFortSalem

From the editor who brought you Artifice & Access comes a new anthology!

This is where the idea for @scyllapublishing.bsky.social came from - I think we have some strange, unusual, fabulous books out there in the queer world that have no chance at a look-in for Trad publishing but deserve to be told, even if we have niche audiences.

The idea of big Trad publishing is bewitching, I wanna roll with the cool kids, get all that backing, be in bookshops, but do I want to write the kind of book that'll make that happen? That I'm not so sure about.

A photo collage of authors Mat Johnson, Nicola Griffith, Fonda Lee, Darcie Little Badger, and Pete Rock. It reads "Announcing our 2026 selection panel!" at the top, and has the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction logo at the bottom right.

We're thrilled to announce the panel of authors who will select the recipient of the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

Nicola Griffith
Mat Johnson
Fonda Lee
Darcie Little Badger
Peter Rock

Anyone can nominate work for this $25,000 prize; nominations will be open March 1st through 31st.

I think probably the thing that frustrates new/aspiring authors more than anything is the sheer number of trad published books where you read a few pages and objectively go "this follows NONE of the rules they told us all to follow, and it's really not very good, but somebody published it anyway".

I re-dropped a new version of every single chapter, and a couple more got added throughout so it looks that way. Sorry didn’t mean to confuse :) but something has changed in every chapter. It’s all a bit different.

@elked1202.bsky.social :)

I reworked ALL of it. Been quietly doing it for a few months, since before Christmas. There's new stuff, some deleted scenes put back in, moved some stuff around, fixed some glaring errors, etc.

Uggh, right?

Oh yeah...and Chapter 24 of "All the World's a Stage" is up. Spicy! Sorry, not sorry. #motherlandfortsalem archiveofourown.org/works/592889...

So...MFS fans, just like I did with WLCM, I've done with "Sea and Sky". There's a new version on Ao3, I've added 2 new chapters from reclaimed material, stuff has been moved around, errors fixed, and phrasing just...better. Prepping for print. #motherlandfortsalem archiveofourown.org/works/442786...

This speaks truth.

Alert! Absolute bloody steal! (I already have paperback, I'm sorted!) #booksky

Asian writer, Asian fantasy MCs, wonderful cultural details, all BANGER. So good.

V Holmes - sapphic author (first novel coming in late 2026), Sapphic publisher with @scyllapublishing.bsky.social. I read and write sapphic specfic. I have 25 books in my physical TBR pile alone (don't even want to look at my eReader)
Important book- @nicolaz.bsky.social Slow River. 📚🪐

👀👀

Hahaha yes so do I! It's like an unscratched itch! The third (bloody hell) draft of Gift of the Valkyrie has just gone to the editor, so while that's happening I'll try and finish this off :)

Throw in some wine instead of the carbs and I'm there.

It’s coming I promise :) within 2 weeks!

picture is an empty white page with the words "Chapter 1" at the top.

Not sure if this is my favorite part of writing, or my least favorite, but here we go again. #booksky

A dark blue background with a woman standing silhouetted in a bright blue doorway that stretches from top to bottom on the left side. On the right, White text is positioned in semi-transparent blue and yellow boxes with sci-fi aesthetic lines and details, and it says "Your Mission: Submit a sapphic specific story to our anthology". Below that is a book mockup of the anthology, featuring a green, monstrous woman, aka Scylla. Below the image is the url to scyllapublishing.com in bold yellow.

There's a lot going on in the world today, but art is still here. Just a reminder that subs are still open on our Sapphic Specfic anthology, and will close on Feb 28! Submit here: www.scyllapublishing.com/anthology-su...

Romantasy is boring now every book is the same with the character names replaced. If your book is [character] is [name an oppression] and becomes [part of some training program/trial/contest], falls for/has sex with [obvious enemy to lover character], then sapphic or not, I'm done.
