After giving it some thought, I figure there's never going to be a perfect time to open for horror/Weird fic collection submissions. Why not now while my job is still in a slow period? If you're BIPOC and/or queer, I'm especially interested in reading your work: cursedmorsels.com/submission-c...

This looks like an awesome resource for finding comps! They really stressed me out when I first started my novel, but I feel more confident about them these days. Still, this makes it so much easier!

WHERE DO I FIND COMP TITLES? Goodreads, Publisher's Marketplace, Book lists ("best x books of 2025"), your local bookstore or library There's also this amazing resource by my fellow RevPit editor Allison Alexander, where you can look up comp titles by genre: 4/4🧵 www.aealexander.com/comp-finder-...

Congratulations J.K. Rowling, you've achieved an Israel-worthy milestone; silencing a perfectly valid criticism, because you can't stand it when someone rightfully calls you out for being a shitty human.

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.

"While Australians die in poorly cooled homes, the federal government spends $14.5 billion every year subsidising coal, oil and gas companies.... "By 2025-26, total fossil fuel subsidies had climbed to $16.3 billion, growing faster than funding for the National Disability Insurance Scheme."

Heat kills more Australians than floods, bushfires, and cyclones combined, yet it remains one of the least discussed public health problems in the country. The death toll alone should have been enough...

"So much of writing is fun. It's first letting your interests and your imagination take you anywhere at all. Once you're able to do that, you'll have more ideas than you can use. Then the real work of fashioning them into a story begins. Stay with it. Persist." Octavia E. Butler (Bloodchild p. 142)

Check out my ARC review of Hunt the Ever Wild, which explores the dynamics of poverty and wealth through quest for a phoenix-and a chance to be free- in a fantastic and dangerous forest. A dark, luscious fantasy that reminded me of Nettle and Bone (but less cozy). #booksky #fantasy bit.ly/4fyriem

good practical reflection for artists who feel like whatever theyre making just isnt working is the sit down and VERY HONESTLY ask yourself: what is the gift here? it can be a lot of things. what am i giving to myself? to the world? what feeling? what expression? art that resonates is art that GIVES

I truly believe that the baby steps add up mentally for us as individuals too. I honestly cannot believe how much I have cancelled in the last five years just from doing a bit at a time and aligning other life changes toward it

None of us can cancel everything. But all of us can cancel SOMETHING. One eminently practical suggestion: Does your family have more than one Amazon Prime account? You absolutely don't need more than one! Cancel one of those tonight!

IT'S HAPPENING Y'ALL 🥳 I'm so excited to officially announce that my first book, THE GODS OF ATALANTIS, will be available to buy in digital formats on April 30, 2026! Part 1 of a trilogy about 2 kids chosen as the avatars of the gods, who fall in love while their island speeds toward doom 🌊☀️❤️🏝️💥

Cover of THE GODS OF ATALANTIS, designed by me. The bottom half shows a girl with long flowing hair sleeping in a fetal position, wrapped up in flowing cloths; she is painted in shades of light to dark blue, and her flowing hair and cloths are reminiscent of ocean waves. At the top, upside down, a boy with curly hair and a tattoo on his arm is also sleeping in a fetal position, wrapped up in cloths; he is painted in golds and reds, like the sun. The two of them mirror each other almost like yin & yang, with the title written between them in shining reddish-gold letters. A reddish-gold border frames the cover, and each corner features a small symbol: a marigold flower, a phoenix, an orange & blue striped fish, and a wolf. Along the left and right sides of the border, pale bluish-white crystals are growing. Along the bottom the author's name EMILY KLOTZ is written in the same reddish-gold letters.

I was lucky enough to be an ARC reader for Gods of Atalantis by Emily Klotz and I loved it! The world was beautiful, the complex characters had great chemistry, and I was hooked onto the plot. It was truly a pleasureable reading experience! @professoremily.bsky.social @hookandquillpress.com
