important question how do I find my thriends & insta friends & my (before it was awful) twitter friends here 👀 where are you writers & teachers who know books can heal the world & should not be banned, ai is trash, and humans who can behold the wonders of space can do better at empathy??

ok and also, who could possibly look at the gorgeous pictures of planet earth and think they want to do destruction and not stewardship and caretaking of this thing GOOD GRIEF PEOPLE

I forgot about bluesky again so here is a brief update of the things that have been occupying my time: trying to create hope in a classroom and on the page in a world on fire, the MOON, men in overalls (???) with snake tattoos, and books, books, always books

I am going to be the first to say that I struggle to keep moving platforms, AND I will try to keep up with this one, and you can always find my information on my website, audreygoldbergwrites.com

Audrey Goldberg

This is the website for author Audrey Goldberg Ruoff, who writes witchy romantic comedies. Her debut novel, Hopelessly Teavoted, comes out September 16, 2025, and it's stand alone companion, Vengefull...

The only spell I have against hopelessness at the moment is to help community. So if you would like to support Marylanders in need (we have so many federal workers) here's my MD Food Bank fundraiser mdfoodbank.funraise.org/fundraiser/a...

I (25F) made a deal with my ex’s hot wedding photographer (27M) to find each other dates this summer. Secretly, it was to help me find a date to a wedding where my ex is the best man as a big F U to him. But now my ex’s photographer is offering to be my fake date. WWYD? #DVpit #A #R #RomCom #CR #WOC

Good news, folks! I've found a way to write even more books and now also have an agent for all my adult works: I've signed with Jim McCarthy at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret and I can't wait to work with him on cozy and not-so-cozy fantasies and maybe-not-fantasies.

Hopelessly Teavoted has a cover, and honestly, it's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen 💖💜💙

I both don't have the time or energy to find people on a new platform AND have seen the social network, one of the most chilling horror films of our time, so here I ammmm

I have two writing modes, hyper fixates and writes thousands of words a day or stares at a blank screen longingly for hours, there is no in between

Music wrap up lists always remind me about discovering that not everyone has a running soundtrack and narration in their head and then I get stuck on the beauty of the brain and its many variations and yes, there’s a soundtrack and lighting to that thought, too

Every time I step away from socials for a little bit, even just a week, I forget completely how to do them

Social media advertising does work well on me and in related news I’m super excited for my ceramic cat menorah to get here

Tis the season! of me putting a hot chocolate packet in my coffee every morning and congratulating myself on coziness

Ok but I have two people I really want you all to meet, however they are fictional, I did make them up completely, and you can’t actually meet them until like next fall

I’m back to dreaming of new romcom plots so that’s a thing RIP my tbw list

Since we are here now (I hope) let’s be friends if you love reading or writing contemporary and speculative romcoms, if you love the Addams family and all things spooky and sparkly and swiftie, and if you know books are inherently political and that abortion access for all is a basic human right💖 😘✨

Reminder that my tactic for answering holiday questions like “oh shouldn’t I write a book instead” or “don’t you think I’d be able to sell my book if you did?” Is absolutely I do. Yes.

'Tis a wonderful time of year to help kids having a rough time feel the love. You can buy gifts for: Children of incarcerated people: vat.angeltreetool.org/cc0893aa-581... Foster kids: www.onesimplewish.org Kids living on Pine Ridge Reservation: www.onespiritokini.org/okini-page/h...

Ok but that picture of the a i bros could literally be a picture of the same dudes in a creative writing workshop who will tell you that you’re unwieldy in your metaphor use and then fade into anonymity while you succeed in writing, so is disruptor another word for a new way to be a mediocre man or?

I’m not sure who else needs this reminder but don’t forget to pin whatever it is that you want to pin on Bluesky, too. Love, someone juggling too many socials always

I always joke that there’s a sock faerie that steals single socks but I just found a child’s sock sitting in the glass sconce of a ceiling lighting fixture and my kindergartener was like oh THATS where it went so I guess I have discovered the identity of the sock faerie 🧚

Ok everyone tell me your favorite comfort romcom book please

here is a little bit of joy: in the spring, I wrote many letters of recommendation for my high school juniors (typically teachers write those in the fall; or at least that's what I've done for the past decade & a half, but I was leaving the classroom, so I wrote them & emailed them to myself). (1/3)
