Okay, Seattle citrus right now π€―
@sjmontgomery.bsky.social and @cathylepik.bsky.social sending you both Vitamin C bombs. Enjoy!
Soph, you need something to binge to get your mind off it. There are always pirates, but I also highly recommend The Boyfriend on Netflix. Crazy sweet YA romance.
Wow! You are a true super fan Soph!Yar-har! π΄ββ οΈπ΄ββ οΈπ΄ββ οΈ
!! I haven't even dug into the live-action yet, I'm just having a blast with the anime comix. Currently working on an MG pirate book myself so lots to inspire here. Glad to hear you are also getting much joy from OP, Soph! If you find any other great pirate narratives, send them along.
Currently writing MG fantasy and looking for comps that inspire with fantastic, vivid world-building. Reading anything amazing?
@atkinsondor.bsky.social you always have the best comp recommendations -- did I tell you I'm becoming addicted to One Piece?
False face can be terrifying at times but I also think it is a testament to never-ending imagination -- Just like your writing, Louise!
We are all human, Renee. You will get them next time. Happy Monday!
Oooo, @louiseblackwick.com and @melodycrickett.bsky.social, have you seen False Face on Instagram? It will rock your world in the best way.
Thanks for the recommendation Dor! You know my soft spot for swashbuckling π
All good things to throw in at any occasion π
Great list, thanks Steve!
My Bugonia has a first name, itβs Oscar
(Me drafting posts in the unlikely event Bugonia wins best picture)
Thanks for the laugh!
Ooooh, this looks like a great inspiration read. Loving your dystopian cyborg reimagining of myths, @atkinsondor.bsky.social Can't wait for you to unleash this on the world!
I'd read that book!!
My beloved 4 years in Minneapolis (before work and life took me to New York) are why, amidst all the atrocities of this land, I will *never* give up on the hope of what this country can be. Because of this right here. This right here.
Very cool, Jessica! Excited to follow this witch!
The Publisher's Marketplace announcement. The category is YA nonfiction, and the announcement says: Biologist and author of forthcoming HOT CITIES and FROM MUSHROOMS TO THE MOON Alexandra Vivelo, Ph.D.'s A DOZEN DYSTOPIAS AND HOW TO DODGE THEM looks at twelve of the dystopian fiction scenarios that have gripped our collective interest, dives into the real science of how those not-so-desirable futures could come about, and explores what we might need to do to keep them from becoming a reality, to Joanna Wattenberg at Bloomsbury Academic, by Lauren Bieker at FinePrint Literary Management (world English).
I am beyond thrilled to announce that Bloomsbury has acquired my YA nonfiction book A DOZEN DYSTOPIAS AND HOW TO DODGE THEM, about the real science behind fictional dystopian scenarios. This is an absolute dream project.

Go Annie! Sounds like you've been very productive.
I've always loved the Porcupine's "Just Put a Broom on It" fashion sense.
