AAAH!! ENDPAPERS is a #Lammy finalist!! I can't imagine a greater honor for this Gen X genderqueer pansexual who came of age when there were far fewer words to express ourselves with. Thank you @LambdaLiterary @AlgonquinBooks @ladderbirdlit! Congrats all! them.us/story/lambda-literar…

I will reopen to queries in two weeks. I have big news to share first, though, so exact timing will depend on whenever that goes public :)

I thought some of us (including me!) could use a few tips about how to get unstuck with our writing 🫶 What are you doing to stay inspired right now? #5amWritersClub

Wow! Thank you for this lovely review of ENDPAPERS @hyperallergic! 📖 "One of the great joys of Endpapers is how . . . Savran Kelly folds the search for artistic and gender identity into the elements of the book form." @AlgonquinBooks hyperallergic.com/965460/a-t…

My book, SAD GROWNUPS, came out a month ago. Feels like five years. It's in large part about how to get by in an increasingly hostile world. I hope you'll order it @Bookshop_Org or at your local bookstore or library. Did you have an indie book come out this year? Link it below!

Good morning #5amWritersClub. I'm not sure what I feel like working on today, so I guess I'll spin the wheel. Happy writing, everyone 🎡

As down as I get about social media, I'm sitting here reading the most thoughtful notes on my novel-in-progress from a writer I met on this site—who I've never even interacted with in person ❤️‍🔥

To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important. We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵

TAKE NUGGET HOME!
Life’s pretty rough right now for sweet sad-eyed kitty guy Nugget at @BARCS_SHELTER. A lot of folks feel the same. But you can make things better for him by helping this good cat find a happy home. Adopt, or RT to spread the word! It won’t change the world - but for him, it will.

Trying again!
Writers of speculative fiction: I need your recs for books, workshops, or other resources for world building. Specifically Margaret Atwood / Octavia Butler style world building please! (I love robots and cool tech, but they're not in this book, alas)

LGBTQ+ youth are afraid, confused, and anxious about the outcome of the election in these conversations, the Trevor Project said. Here are some resources. them.us/story/election-lgbtq…

So excited that City of Laughter is out today in the UK! ❤️
A rich and riveting debut spanning four generations of Eastern European Jewish women bound by blood, half-hidden secrets and the fantastical visitation of a shapeshifting stranger over the course of 100 years. @temim City of Laughter is out today: dialoguebooks.co.uk/titles/t…

Sincere thanks to the Goodreads reviewer who brought me to tears this morning by reminding me of this sentiment from the main character in ENDPAPERS 💜

I’m taking #5amWritersClub on the road this morning. See you tomorrow!
Whatever else happens this week, on Thursday I get to go talk to some college students who are excited about queer literature, writing, and publishing 💜💜

Heavy with grief and fear this morning. But the words that keep repeating in my mind: where do we go from here?
