Summer is here (for the northern hemisphere) which means rom-coms, meet cutes, love triangles, and true romantic love. If that's absolutely not for you, then this #aromantic anthology is exactly the balm you need! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c... #WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters #booksky 📚💙🪐🌈
Thinking of starting a trend where I just put queer/disabled books in free little libraries. 👀 This awesome one by @ashintheashes.bsky.social has asexual dragons. 🌈📚♠️ Ace. Dragons. 🌈📚 What more could you ask for? 📚♿ Leave your suggestions below. Bonus points if it’s from an indie/small press.
Feels like I've been pretty quietly lately on @phenomenapress.bsky.social stuff, but I want to highlight that too. Edits by myself & @dragonediting.bsky.social are now completed, with proofreading to follow ahead of the late October 2026 release of PHANTASMS & PHENOMENA, coinciding with ace week!
