I write YA, MG, and Adult Fantasy & Sci-Fi novels that take on a darker edge but are always rounded out with humor and/or romance ✨

Hello #TwitterMigration people.

If you encounter a racist/discriminatory/hate toot, let your administrator know (take a screenshot and attach the offensive toot when you do). Use the REPORT function to do this.

THE ADMINISTRATOR will let other admins know by tagging it with #fediblock . This helps admins to find troublesome instances..

Here, the final arbiter is a PERSON, unlike the process on the birdsite where “report abuse” triggers an algorithm

I am super delighted to announce that I have signed a contract with Invisible Publishing for my debut book translation project, featuring modern and contemporary Chinese poetry in translation, forthcoming in spring 2024.

Tho one downside is the fact that you have to be invited to specific servers, which makes it kinda of exclusive, and I don’t like excluding people just because they don’t have the right connections

So my initial take after being on #Mastodon for a few days: this place is waaaaaay better than Twitter and way more supportive already!

And I quite like that there’s no algorithm, like I can actually meet people without getting drowned out 👌

✍️ Dear Writers,

Be weird.

It's what makes you worth reading.

Taking a look at the hashtags on mastodon and my god is it healthy and normal compared to trending on Twitter. It's like looking at what people are talking about in the Shire Vs Mordor. Biggest turnip anyone? Someone's eleventy-first birthday bash? Don't mind if I do.

Anyone have recommendations for good narrative non-fiction? I’m trying to broaden my reading. Open to anything!

Morning has broken #Nature
I am not sure if I’m organized enough to put something like this together but I wanted to do something like an #writing critique partner match. Someone you can really go through the writing process with, ideally two writers who can support each other as they write.
I’ve been looking for a CP for years and never actually found a good match. Would anyone else be interested in this? #writer #writers #writinglife #author
