- Loved this story!
- My story The Ghost Merchant is out this week in @thecoloredlens.bsky.social If you want a dark fantasy story about a shop that sells ghosts to haunt mansions, and an apprentices first day as he realises what that entails, then this is the story for you!
- Off to Futurescapes Firenze, looking forward to a great workshop with a bunch of lovely people!

- My personal favorites: -“World Hunger” by Mark Manifesto —> for some Sleeping Giants meets Ender’s Game epic sci-fi -“Dawn Patrol” by Calvin Sharpe —> for some hopepunk surfer vibes -“The Buried House” by Annie @stellarine.bsky.social —> for some exquisite prose and a heartbreaking metaphor
- Wonderful article! I usually have so many thoughts about writing complex protagonists (motivation vs agency etc.) but as I slide into second draft and editing mode with my trademark passive FMC, I really needed to read someone else’s informed opinion on this topic! #amwriting #fantasy #romance

- I’ve been trying to evade the shadow daddy trope for a year now. It’s really harder than it looks, people! #WritingCommunity #amwriting #romantasy #fantasy
- I’m all for the “sure, why not” approach as well!

- I’ve often missed out on the fun con and intensive workshop stuff due to traveling requirements and CET time difference. So I’m beyond excited that the Futurescapes Summer Intensive Workshop is in Florence the coming year. Hope to see some of you there! #sff #fantasy #amwriting #WritingCommunity

- Reposted by Lena | SF&F | 🚀🏰A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

- I had a blast at the Futurescapes Fall Workshop! Four days of workshopping your query package with some very talented writers and amazing faculty: what’s not to like? But the first time an industry professional refers to your writing as “absolutely spectacular”: a girl will never forget that!
- Loved it! Looking forward to the Winter issue!

- Hi to all the new folks! I read a lot, review stuff for BSFA Review and share work I admire here on Bluesky. I also want to start sharing more about my own writing journey, writing courses, intensive workshops, writing coaches, manuscript revisions, looking for an agent that sort of thing.
