Love language: Glaring is so perfect 😂

When a headstrong public interest lawyer is forced to team up with her former law school rival, the friction between the two starts feeling more like sparks flying, and she must decide if she’s willing to everything she’s built by trusting the corporate sellout

Calling all querying writers - if you want to make friends at the same stage of the publishing journey and support each other in the highs and lows, then I have a starter pack for you 👀❤️ #querying

My MC is very much like this, but I wish I was more like her bc I just forced myself to go to parties to fit in and hated every second 😂

Psalm for the Wild Built may be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read. It found me at a time where I feel like I’m drowning and it’s truly been a life raft 💚

I feel like the universe is trying to test me when my system is already operating on battery saver mode

My people 😍 Thanks for putting this together!!

I also randomly gained 30 followers on there whilst the ban was going on so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Okay so looks like TikTok is back in the US already which achieved nothing but a sense of panic and grief throughout so many different communities

Honestly so close to getting rid of IG but also they want us to be silenced and I don’t want to give them that 😤

Booktokkers that are based outside of the US… we’re still going to stay on there right?

I accidentally killed her on my first play though, didn’t realise you could recruit her 💀

Ahhh thank you so much friend 🫶🏻❤️

You’re so sweet thank you 🥰

This is super interesting Jenna - my brain loves a number so this is 🤌🏻

It’s night time here in Aus so I’m going to have to call in a night on #BluePit for now but from the selection of pitches I’ve seen - WOW! I’m in awe of all the incredible art that is being dreamed up by this wonderful writing community during these unprecedented times. So happy to be a part of it 💙

Happy #BluePit 📖 day everybody!

The text “A Misremembrance” set against a red background with the caption: “Contemporary young adult, LGBTA+ characters, and mental heath.” Three images are in the center: a chess piece, a stack of books, and a record player.

Three book covers are displayed as comparative titles to “A Misremembrance” on a white background with a red boarder. The book “I wish you all the best” is captioned as “non-binary characters.” The book “eleanor & park” is captioned as “misfit first love”. The book “radio silence” is captioned as “anxiety and depression”.

Sisel Gelman’s author biography is written in red text over a white background. She is a queer latina with 34,000 followers on BookTok. “A Misremembrance” has been offered publication by an independent press. “A Misremembrance” was a finalist for the 2021 Boston Public Library Writer in Residence Program.

Plain background with bold text reading “The Pitch” Image of One Last Stop by Casey McQuistion with the tags “A love letter to the city it’s set in and diverse, supportive found family” Image of Funny Story by Emily Henry with tags “Love interest brings MC out of their shell and Lucky escape from a bad relationship” Image of Making It by Laura Kay with tags “Sexually naive protagonist and sexy lesbian artist love interest” Text underneath reads After a failed Leap Day proposal leaves Lucy heartbroken, she finds herself exploring a side of Manchester she's never known; the thriving queer community. Here, she meets the dazzling artist and commitment-phobe, Aaliyah, who inspires Lucy's creative dreams and opens her mind to life outside the straight and narrow.

Sneak peak Aaliyah rests her hand gently on mine and makes it even harder to concentrate. 'I love listening to you speak, darling, but where is this story going?' I take a deep breath and let it out slowly through my mouth, like I'm listening to a meditation podcast. Calm. Focus. Confidence. I can't look her in the eyes, so I stare at the yonic flowers she painted. 'I've realised I'm bisexual. I like women.' I like you. I add silently. When I manage to look at her, she's sitting back on her chair with a cheshire cat grin on her face. 'Well that's a relief.' 'A relief?' 'It would be rather awkward if I asked you on a date and you weren't at least a little bit gay.'

First pitch event - eek!! This is the novel I’m currently editing, a sapphic bisexual awakening rom com set in Manchester, UK 🥰 #BluePit📖 #bluepit #W #A #R #LGBT #Dis #OV
