Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

Happy Pride! 💓🧡💛💚💙💜 I swapped poetry with a friend recently and it made me realize how much I missed reading, writing and listening to poetry. I picked this collection up to add a little more poetry to a recent trip and was reminded how much emotion and meaning we can convey in short form styles.

Perfect for agents who like: 🏳️‍🌈 Sapphic BIPOC witches 🖤 Body horror 💫 Fantasy/Horror/Mystery #QuestPit #Q #A #F

An image of a school with multiple towers, in black on a grey sky, with multiple crescent moons hanging above. The text reads ‘an agents guide to The Bells of Le Fay, adult dark academia fantasy, 102k words.A silhouette of a woman reaching up to the sky with a bright light between her hands. There is a shadowed tree next to her. The text reads: pitch, The price of magic is monstrous. Lola Knight expects to live a normal life, but when the deadly shadows beneath her skin escape, killing her best friend, she must attend Le Fay Academy for Higher Magics to seek control before they kill again. When she finds out the shadows are slowly turning her into a monster, she chases a cure through the ancient archives—but instead unearths a dangerous conspiracy, and must decide: keep digging to unmask the true monsters, or accept her fate and risk her humanity.An open spell book surrounded by candles and a mirror. There are three book covers; for One Dark Window, Book of Night, and The Incandescent. The text reads: tropes and comps, witchy dark academia, monstrous magic, sapphic romance, ancient archives, body horror, unhelpful ghosts.The silhouette of a woman with a huge dark shadow looming over her. The text reads: first lines. The shadows had teeth, and they hungered for blood. They shouldn’t exist here, amongst the weathered sandstone of Durham University. They shouldn’t exist at all, outside the confines of Lola’s mind. But the terrible scratching of claws against flagstone wasn’t a figment of her imagination, as she had first thought, strolling arm-in-arm with Sam on their way home from an end-of-exams party. She didn’t notice them straight away, her gaze sliding over the shadows cast by the faculty buildings. She didn’t notice them until they peeled away from the walls, their darkness thicker and more absolute than the others. Even then she pulled her gaze away, dismissing it. Inebriation hung over her like a thin veil, turning the glow of street lamps into a kaleidoscopic sky.
