Tiger Lily Publishing Co. | SUBS OPEN

Today’s advice:

Don’t be afraid to take breaks from your writing. No longer feeling fun? Writer’s block? Competing responsibilities? It’s all good! It’s fine for writing to take a back seat for a while. Go away, allow it to mull over in the back of your mind, and come back when you’re ready!

To our #amquerying #amwriting #writingcommunity pals: Please remember Tiger Lily when you’re thinking about where to submit your book!

We’re all about fantasy, including hybrid genres. We work with the teen, YA and NA market and we are ALWAYS open to submissions!

Your social media experience is yours to curate. Block who you need to. Mute who you need to. Unfollow who you need to. Not doing so is more mentally taxing than any benefit of having someone as a connection might be.

Diversity in fiction means lots of people telling lots of different stories, not putting marginalised folks into boxes where they’re only allowed to tell stories that are pre-approved for them to tell

Beautiful! 🌸

The social media sprite is listening to their playlist and doesn’t know what modern music is, can’t you tell?

Just a reminder that Tiger Lily is ALWAYS open to submissions! We love all things fantasy, including hybrid genres, and look for work particularly aimed at teens, YA or NA. Website in bio, where you can find more information 💖✨

The social media sprite does not like Mondays and apparently neither does the goblin, Bertie, who lives with them

Anyone else having their butt kicked by hayfever at the moment? The social media sprite has a waterfall coming from their eyes. No chilling out with a book today, it seems! ☹️

Drop something blue from your gallery

(The social media sprite is dreaming of holidays, preferably to somewhere less humid. The sprite does not like sweating.)

Almost the weekend and it’s a scorcher! What’s everyone’s plans? Out enjoying the sun, or flaking out somewhere with a fan at point blank range?

*waves happily*

you lost the book I leant you, didn't you

On Mondays we wear a scowl on our faces that shows just how disappointed we are in the continued need to work

That’s fair! Some books are just like that, we all get it with different things

The social media sprite has been revisiting Pratchett recently and it feels like coming home. An absolute master of the craft. Do you like his work? What’s your favourite Discworld novel? 💙📚

Good afternoon Booksky! Whose spending their weekend writing? 🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♂️

We spend a lot of time telling kids that they can be whoever they want to be, but I think it might be more important to tell them that they can be who they are

Support SFF magazines! They are full of talent both established and emerging, and the stories within can be a quick hit of immersion into a different world

As it storms and rains outside today (at least in the wooded glen where the social media sprite lives), have a cozy image to warm your soul:

It’s #sapphicseptember! What are you all reading? Got any good recs? 👀🌈📚

“Multicultural”= different *cultures*
“Interracial”= different *races*

The distinction is key. Also key is that these will apply even if neither of the characters are white. There’s a strange motion that interracial means one party must be but that isn’t the case, it’s just that this gets more rep.

You’re right and you should say it

We’d love to talk tropes some more! And not just romance (though those are good) but also those that come up in the fantasy genre in general! The social media sprite loves some “blue and orange morality”, when gods seem to dance to a different tune. How about you, what trope do you always eat up?
