#QueerWriters Pretty dope! I got my *very first* acceptance from a magazine (@nygelmag.bsky.social) which is a HUGE deal to me and I'm being frankly feral about it. It's not even just the acceptance, but me managing to kill the beast of shame and defeatism within me and apply in the first place ๐Ÿ˜

WE WANT TO PUBLISH YOUR SMUT! ๐Ÿ’ฆ Here at NYGEL, monsterfucking isn't a joke or a punchlineโ€”we embrace the inherent eroticism of the unexpected and the unknown. ๐Ÿ™ Subs open until July 10, give us something hot and unique! โœจ๏ธ

10 days left to submit a smutty morsel of a story for our third issue! ๐Ÿ™ We want your wildest 'hear me out,' erotica so niche and unexpected that you may be wondering 'surely I can't make [blank] hot and sexy' BUT YOU MUST! ๐ŸŒ Leave shyness at the door and send us something that'll make us sweat ๐Ÿ’ฆ

First official author event at Tsunami Books! We had so much fun reading from our gay romcom LESSONS IN TIMING, talking cowriting and the importance of queer representation in fiction, and answering questions from a receptive audience ๐Ÿฅฐ Happy Pride, read queer all year! ๐ŸŒˆ
