I'm SO excited to announce that I'm now represented by @mariarwhelan of @Inkwellmgmt !! I was beyond blown away by Maria's vision for my weird, gothic ode to libraries, ill-fated love, disability & sapphic women & I can't wait to see what this next chapter holds 📚🥀
looking to speak to autistic authors on the importance of representation right now for @thebookseller my email is [email protected] and deadline to get in touch is next Monday 💌 @PressPlugs @editorielle

Wrote about bookcrawls for @guardian and why everyone should spend a day going from bookstore to bookstore - if only that was my actual job!

catching up on some articles that went live while I was away!
Loved interviewing Lucy Rose (THE LAMB) Charlotte Paradise (OVERSPILL) & @nvtran (THEY BLOOM AT NIGHT) for @thebookseller on our recent love affair with horror...

...how non-binary & female authors are contributing to the genre, 'weird girl' fiction & what it says about the current state of the world - lots of recs here !!! I'm so proud of this one esp as I've just sent off my own gothic, weird girl book to my agent! 😳
last minute venture into #questpit to share the editor's guide to my literary-leaning sapphic romantasy with:
📚violent yearning
📚gothic horror undertones
📚chronic pain representation
Step into the library 🖤✨

And there's a library pulling the strings... Pictures of books THE STARLESS SEA, A DARK AND DROWNING TIDE, DIVINE RIVALS & ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART are below

My book baby has a face!!! 😍😍😍
Cover launch! To get his ship back, a con artist swindles alien blueprints to sell. But the programmer he hires to decode the data may have plans of her own. GALAXY GRIFTER by @AllaZaykova is available June 2025 from Orbit US.

working on an article for @thebookseller on why we're so into horror & the odd...especially with "weird" girls being unhinged 🔪
Examples of recent books you've loved in this vein appreciated, especially interested in how horror is a vehicle to explore marginalized identities✨

Everything sucks and a bunch of evil billionaires are destroying the world, but at least the new Bridget Jones movie is sensational.

Pinching myself that @WordsbyChloe is now a client!! THE LIBRARY OF LOST SHADOWS is an exquisite sapphic romantasy set in a magical library -- disillusioned art forger & determined journalist unite to navigate a world of secrets & shifting realities. Memory, loss, identity & love

If you’re creative in any capacity, I support you. Keep doing what you’re doing and trust that following your urge to make something beautiful, something powerful, something subversive—that urge is not selfish. It’s there because it’s going to help you help the world.

Hey Publishing Industry, this goes for you guys too 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Chappell Roan calls for labels to give new artists a liveable wage and healthcare during her #GRAMMYs acceptance speech:
“I told myself if I ever won a Grammy and I got to stand up here in-front of the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels and the industry profiting millions of dollars off artists would offer a liveable wage and healthcare, especially to developing artists… labels we got you, but do you got us?”
