At a time when queer books and authors have such an uphill battle, it was so important to me to have a cover that communicates how unapologetically sapphic this book is 🖤 I’m so grateful to my editor @jorgiereads.bsky.social and my agent @laurenbieker.bsky.social for seeing the vision.
The absolutely gorgeous artwork is by Audrey Benjaminsen who I’m convinced is a magician because look at how she brought THEM to life in all their stabby, sapphic glory! Audrey, forever in awe of you 🖤 🥀 Also an immense thank you to @beafitzgerald.bsky.social for her super kind blurb! 🖤
It’s here: the cover for the UK edition of VILE LADY VILLAINS, coming out April 02 2026 by Penguin Michael Joseph🖤
stopping by to share an updated ♟️editor’s guide 🕯️ for 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓, my adult dark academic romantasy w/ a revenge-seeking heroine and the genius she loves ✨ #editors for more information reach out to @laurenbieker.bsky.social and @laurenjpkhan.bsky.social . . #writingcommunity #editorsguide
VILE LADY VILLAINS is coming to Greece!!! 🇬🇷 💛 I am ecstatic to have secured my first translation deal 6 months before my book even comes out in the UK or the US—and I’m even more ecstatic that it will be in my native language. 💙🇬🇷
A thousand thank you to Ekdoseis Anubis for giving VILE LADY VILLAINS its perfect Greek home, and to my agent @laurenbieker.bsky.social and my Greek subagent for fighting so hard for this book. Whatever happens next, my heart is full. Even if that means my Mother will now be able to read the book…😱
I’m so so thankful to my UK team and especially @jorgiereads.bsky.social for being such a fierce advocate (and to my agent extraordinaire @laurenbieker.bsky.social!) and I can’t wait to work with the amazing Mali Clinton to bring this book to a North American audience
The world is burning, and part of me feels bad for talking about books—but if these Vile Lady Villains have taught me anything is that to retell is to rebel. So, this Pride Month I’m here to say: support queer books and authors, now and always. I hope you will rebel with my Vile Lady Villains.
VILE LADY VILLAINS is coming to the US and Canada! 🥀🖤🗡️ I can’t begin to tell you how deeply grateful and excited I am that my sapphic, Gothic, Greek myth meets Shakespeare horromantasy will be published in the US and Canada by the fantastic team over at Union Square & Co!
