“It’s not a big moment, or at least, it doesn’t seem like one within the context of a rom-com […] That, in some ways, makes it even better. Olive doesn’t get a big identity crisis; she just has a conversation with her roommate.”

There hasn't been enough talk about how The Love Hypothesis explicitly labels its main character, Olive, as demisexual. We discuss why it's big HERE: https://fangirlish.me/46O3dKU

“Nicole Field’s ‘The Widow and the Raven‘ runs Mina Harker’s journal straight into Poe’s ‘The Raven,’ a mashup that could have been a gimmick but instead lands its ending well.” From a generous review by Andrew Byers for OF DREAD, DECAY, AND DOOM on @hellnotes.bsky.social ❤️🙏 See full review below!

PSA turns out the fastest way to write a short story is by using it to procrastinate on writing a novel

Felt a bit out of sorts today so thought I would take advantage of today’s unseasonable warmth. Heres a shot of early buds on next door’s tree and my own little lemon tree reaching one little branch towards the sky 🥰

I'm an editor at @phenomenapress.bsky.social and also work with @scyllapublishing.bsky.social and @radonjournal.bsky.social. If you've ever wanted to work with me but haven't had the chance, here it is! I am opening a couple of heavily discounted editing slots after a recently cancelled contract.

I don’t exactly know why, but this little book, despite no award wins, movie deals, or much publicity, has quietly become the third best-selling thing I’ve *ever* written, right behind Fairyland and Space Opera. Thank you to everyone who’s been devouring it for five years now! #comfortmewithapples

“Queer/trans disabled people need poems as surely as we need warm oatmeal in the morning — common and essential. We who don’t (can’t) leave our houses or beds. We deemed disposable. We desexualized, degendered, dehumanized. We need poems to help us find each other when we’re drowning.”
