Hey guys uhhhh I bought three books from Isabel J. Kim (yes, THAT isabel j kim) Universal is adapting the first one for TV All because I read a story about a hole thank u hole
Isabel J. Kim@isabel.kim · 2y agoHey guys my book is being adapted for TV by Universal International Studios haha oh did I mention that I sold a book haha did I mention it was. Uh. Three books. To Tor. Anyway read the deadline article for deets. deadline.com/2024/04/subl...
Hey folks! I'm not really on social media, but since I've been asked what I'm working on, here's a list of my upcoming books for 2024.
I don’t think they have a Bluesky presence yet so it’s up to me to do a COVER REVEAL art by Kuri Huang design by Christine Foltzer
THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS is out today! By chapter three the novel sends its chosen one protagonist to group therapy, which should happen to every epic fantasy hero.
Vajra Chandrasekera@vajra.me · 3y agoHey, my book's out in the world at long last! I've collected some of the very nice things people have been kind enough to say about it, along with links to buy it in hardcover, ebook, or audiobook. Thank you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy it!
Severian from Book of the New Sun is every narrator from The Locked Tomb Harrow: insane, hallucinating, doesn’t ever know what’s real John Gaius: autobiography for the sake of his own legacy of violence, pretends he wasn’t evil the whole time Gideon: stupid hot for no damn reason Nona: loves dog
I'm finally reading The Book of the New Sun, and it explains to me quite succinctly why I have a job in this genre. I keep finding things in it that half my authors live on.
Once again, tracked changes have crashed Microsoft Word. This time on page 1 of the book. Might take a while, gang!
Things I've seen while editing THE WEST PASSAGE: a thread without context of unknown duration. (BlueSky version)
WGA has been on strike for over a month, and last night SAG-AFTRA authorized their own strike! Now is a great time to donate to the Entertainment Community fund to support them. Solidarity forever! https://secure2.convio.net/afa/site/Donation2?df_id=2857&2857.donation=form1&mfc_pref=T
Ian Scott McGregor@ianscottmcgregor.com · 3y agoSAG-AFTRA members have voted 97.91% in favor of a strike authorization.
Back at it in a whole new world, the old one burnt to ashes. Once again the trumpets call, and I hear the heralds' decree: "Carl, post in a way that builds your brand."
