Revealing the cover to my debut novel: FAKING FOR A FORTNIGHT! Out May 4, 2027

She’s not really on here, so I’m gonna shout about this news for her… @margotmoore.bsky.social was scooped up by Berkley! And goodness do I love this book.

Do you like getting quill-written snail mail, possibly with a wax seal? If you follow my fox account below and comment “creepy” or “cozy,” I’ll choose someone and write you a bespoke Drabble in this card, and mail it to you! Open worldwide. Repost if you’re feeling kind ❤️

You wake in a nest of blankets, hemmed in on three sides by smooth wooden walls and a low curved ceiling. Nearby are the quiet sighs of a dying fire, the heavy silence of being utterly alone. You run your hand over the wood and find a shallow carving of wings. Then another. Then dozens more.

Whose bright idea was it to finish drafting a novel the same month as JordanCon, work performance reviews, and several crazy client deadlines? Mine? Wow that was rude of me.

Since I'm planning for paternity leave at the end of the summer, and not doing any events for a long time after, I put a virtual workshop together. So! If you or someone you know needs a hand polishing up their query + opening pages, this might be for you. www.ericsmithrocks.com/blog/2025/4/...

Query and First Pages Summer Workshop — ERIC SMITH

Well, summer is here. And I really wanted to host one more webinar or workshop before I logged off for paternity leave this August (surprise!), and found myself not doing any conferences for a while. ...

So this happened today! 🙌 #writingcommunity

I thought I was going to finish my first draft this weekend after a very intense week of work, but am instead flying to my grandad’s funeral. Am taking comfort that I’ll be able to spend time with family but also I would very much like to sleep for approximately 4 years if at all possible

When your friend’s book is the SECOND MOST REQUESTED sff book on NetGalley 🌸🌺🌷🪻 So happy to see the buzz around such an amazing book written by an even more amazing woman, @writersofrohan.bsky.social 🙌

I forgot to play Wordle yesterday and lost my 1,160 day streak. No one talk to me 😭

I can’t believe other people are already photoshopping that picture of his phone. He was *clearly* admiring the cover of Violet Thistlewaite Is Not A Villain Anymore.

look, i can't help it that jeff goldblum is so obsessed with my book cover that he dressed to match okay it's just the way it is

Looks like I’m going to hit 50k words in my manuscript either today or tomorrow. #amwriting

We are charmed to reveal the cover for @writersofrohan.bsky.social's cozy romantasy Violet Thistlewait Is Not a Villain Anymore! Witchy retirement is looking pretty sweet...but does a former villain truly deserve a happily-ever-after? reactormag.com/cover-reveal...

I drafted up my synopsis fairly easily at under three pages. How on EARTH do people cut it down to one page? Witchcraft! #writingcommunity

I’d choose the mildly homicidal sentient houseplant, personally 👀

This week in Pen Pals, an anonymous writer asked about how to accept critical feedback from editors and beta readers without feeling defensive. It's normal to feel stung about negative feedback, but what comes next is up to you. Learn more: penpalsforwriters.substack.com/p/your-edito...

Your editor is not out to get you

And why critical feedback is your friend

So what you are telling me is that my mom not only bought teenage me a Christmas gift that would eventually spark my obsession with sprayed edges but that she bought me the book that would eventually spark EVERYONE'S obsession with sprayed edges. This is such a cool story!

Anyone going to Love Y’All Fest this weekend? I got a ticket for tomorrow only, but am going to try to cram as many panels in as I can

Judging by this reaction, I think my manuscript is coming together nicely 😅 Thanks @angelamcowan.bsky.social for the support!

Grief has a tendency to come out of nowhere. Recently set my IG to private and was going through the process of removing followers I didn’t know. Scrolled all the way to the bottom to see who my first follower was: a friend from college who passed away in 2023. Talk about a gut punch

Anyone else feel like this January was an eternity?

My starting word count for each day and the number of words I wrote. That zero day was a sick day 😅

Kind of funny that I posted this approximately the time it came back 😂

Really missing my #booktok community today, even though I spent most of my time there managing my husband’s author account. Who else is a #tiktokrefugee?

Pleased to share that I’ve been averaging 500 words a day in 2025! Some days have been *very* low, but I’m building a better habit #writingcommunity
