ZNB gave me my first pro publication ever, and every time I've worked with them they've been a delight. This is a definite blow to publishing, and I hope ZNB can find a way to rise again!

The @ZNBLLC @Kickstarter has not reached its goal but that's not the end of these anthologies. I'll figure out a way to get them out there. Keep watch for whatever comes next. And thank you to everyone who backed this project! #kickstarter #crowdfunding #fantasy #scifi #sff

It's absolutely amazing to read, and, if for no other reason, I highly recommend this series. (There are tons of other reasons, of course, this duo is a rollercoaster of tension and banter and hard choices and friendship. But those are harder to gush about without spoilers!)

Some of the trans characters are very comfortable in their gender identity, some are still figuring it out, and both are treated as normal. Pronouns are never used as weapons, no matter how angry characters are at each other - it's basically this panel from the Loki gender meme

Look what my library sent me! I just finished Celestial Monsters, and it is the perfect conclusion to the duology, @aidenschmaiden knocks it out of the park! Beyond all the plot loveliness, can I say how wonderful it is to have such a queer/trans normative world?

@AndreaGStewart Now I want to subscribe to this book box just to spite all the complainers (and because yes please, more books that are outside the stereotypical medieval European setting!)

My thoughts on this weird spot we’ve gotten into, where people describe fantasy in Asian or Asian-inspired settings as “Asian Fantasy”. Action items at the end because what good is a rant without things you can actually do ☺️

@sanchez_m_m I ran the numbers through QueryTracker and 20% of authors who landed agents queried 100 or more agents before getting their offer. So don't give up too early.

I'm seeing a lot of #amquerying authors ask, "What's the right number of literary agents to query?" It's what I always want to see in authors HIGMA posts. How many, and how long did it take you? Alexa Donne (who I think is awesome!) says to query 30 agents max. Yes, 30! Watch her YouTube video here: youtu.be/gTM2vGRTbkY?si… What do you think, #writingcommunity? How many queries would you send before you shelve a book?

@AlasdairStuart I think there have been some very good advances in the medical industry around detecting cancerous cells, finding proteins and other chemicals, and even trying to understand which psych drugs work best for individuals. Mostly ML, not AI, but related

Hit a milestone in the query trenches today... 90 queries sent for my little queer labor strikes + heists fantasy. Still a few nibbles of interest out there, but I think this one is soon to join its fellows in the trunk, sadly #amquerying

@Wiswell People in my current world regularly use four different sets of pronouns (two of them zie/zir and fae/faer). People in this world can deal, and maybe even learn something!

@lindenalewis I assume you've read the prequel, too, but if not, I definitely recommend it! Maybe The House in the Cerulean Sea? The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches? I thoroughly enjoyed both, and I think they probably count as cozy?

I’ve read Legends & Lattes, but what are some other cozy fantasy books you’d recommend?

@ALRutter If I feel better after a workout, even if it's temporary, it's usually a temporary thing. If working out leaves me drained and miserable, as bad as when I started, usually it's something more. So that's my metric, because workouts are my main coping/self regulation mechanism
