a group of people are gathered in a living room and one of them says " happy christmas eve eve "

If anyone needs me, I’ve finally seen Wicked so unfortunately you’ll have to wait 5-7 business days while I process 💚

On Spotify Wrapped Eve, I just want to make one thing clear. There will be people who say no one cares about your Spotify Wrapped and to stop posting all your graphics. They are wrong. I care. Show me all your graphics. Let’s delight in the wild west that is the yearly music roundup ✌🏻

How it started vs how it’s going 🥹

FYI to anyone who’s gotten a message from this account. Please ignore (or block and report). Thanks to the folks who let me know, and thanks for reading!

You can now add TART to your ‘want to read’ shelf on Goodreads! So if you want to read… please do that! 😅 www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

What if I quit my job to focus on soup. Just making soup and eating it

I’m making a starter pack of 2025 debuts! If you’re a trad pub author whose debut comes out next year, @ me here to join. 🤩

Just finished Heartstopper S3 (with a day’s break between E5 and 6 to read Solitaire) and now openly weeping at the fact that there are kids and teenagers out there who get to grow up with this kind of visibility in popular media 🥹 representation is so important. Feeling seen is so important.

Introduce yourself with some jobs you’ve done apart from what you’re doing now 1. Soft play attendant (at Wacky Warehouse for those who remember it) 2. Terrible waitress in a tiny village pub 3. Corn maze scarer (very recent, will 100% be repeating) 4. Various call centres (various levels of awful)

Introduce yourself with some jobs you’ve done apart from what you’re doing now 1. McDonald’s crew member (feel like I made it to shift leader but it’s been so long) 2. Communications Officer 3. Ann Summers Party Planner 4. Research scuba diver 5. Gamestation/Game 3rd in command 6. University tours

Day two of YALC and the Bloomsbury stall completely shifted all 400-odd TART samplers. Here’s a photo of the last one 😳🍓

Day one of YALC was surreal. Not only was I absolutely surrounded by fellow YA enthusiasts but I got to sign copies of my debut novel’s chapter sampler 😳🥹 gearing up for day two! 💕🍓

I’ll be bopping around YALC this weekend dressed in strawberry print - please do say hi if you see me! You can also pick up a chapter sampler of my debut YA romance TART at the Bloomsbury stand if that’s your kind of thing! 💕🍓

I have created a starter pack of (mainly) UK children’s authors - I couldn’t find one anywhere. It is a work in progress so apologies if I haven’t found you yet and do let me have any additions go.bsky.app/GLnmxCv

Extremely a WIP but the first tentative efforts at a #UKYA list are here: go.bsky.app/SvteGjd Please don't hesitate to ask to be added (or removed! I won't be offended if you'd rather not):

Hey look, a starter pack of 2025 debut novelists! There are so many amazing books hitting shelves next year. Check it out, #writingcommunity! go.bsky.app/H13XQTN

Really enjoying that the (few but appreciated) people finding my account are fellow writers! If you’re a YA author in particular please give me a wave! And let me know if there’s a hashtag we’re using for the community! 👋

As a super forgetful person, turning on the setting that prevents me posting images without alt text has helped me be more accessible without breaking my brain. You can find it under Settings > Accessibility 😊

Louisa@louisathelast.bsky.social · 2y ago

Hey new users— we’ve been trying to build a strong culture of expecting alt text. Take it from me, because I’ve heard from them: there are blind people on this app and they appreciate being included. You can also turn on a setting that prevents you from posting images without it, if you forget

Really need to start cross-posting over here as the other place crashes and burns in slow motion. Hello! I’m Becki and I’m a queer YA author working on a couple of things 👀 let’s be pals

No longer querying… I’m now officially represented by Saffron Dodd at ASH Literary! ✨
