Valeriya Salt

Hey, #WritingCommunity! My original account @LSalt1 was hacked. So I guess I need to start my Twitter journey from scratch. I'm a sci-fi & thriller author from the North of England. My debut novel DIVE BEYOND ETERNITY was published by @northodoxpress . Nice to meet you all again.

ICYMI My debut sci-fi/thriller is running for the Book Bloggers' Novel Award 2026. Wish me luck, #WritingCommunity! @northodoxpress @BBNYA_Official #amreading

@qmaddenwrites Yes, rejections are tough 🫤 I want to start querying again next month, but don't really look forward to it.

Woke up to my 23rd rejection, saying that my project was strong but, subjectively, not the right fit. For the first time on this journey, I cried at a rejection. I’ve gotten so many similar ones that I want to quit. It feels like this industry is just meant to make you feel like you’re not good enough. #amquerying #WritingCommmunity #querying #bookcommunity #almost #mentalhealth

My author's copy of From The Yonder (Vol 5) anthology has arrived. It features my paranormal thriller s/s The Void People, inspired by my trip to Bulgaria. amazon.co.uk/Yonder-5-Joshu… #shortstory #WritingCommunity

@CassCoopWrites Congratulations from one hacked account’s owner to another 💕 That’s why even after being hacked I’m still on Twitter.

Almost 250 followers in less than a week! Thank you so much for taking me back with open arms! I was at over 800 and climbing when my account was hijacked. I truly appreciate your help! #WritingCommunity

I've read & reviewed "Paper Sisters" by Rachel Canwell @bookbound2019. I recommend this book to fans of historical & beautiful literary fiction where every sentence is captivating and emotionally powerful. Full review on my blog: saltandnovels.wordpress.com/2026/03/15/boo… #BookReview #bookblog

@scriblotta Yes. I’ve written a historical fantasy short story, although I haven’t read fantasy.

Have you ever written in a story in a genre but haven't read any books in that genre? #writers #writerscommunity #writingq

@lhallwriter I have a blog where I review books and post about new releases: saltandnovels.wordpress.com

Writers, do you have a website or blog? Drop your links below and I will happily repost some 👇 (no book links, just websites)

Evening in the garden 🌺🌸 #GardeningTwitter #SpringVibe

@IceView_Nine I love weird too 👍

@ValeriyaSalt Sci-fi is my favorite as well. I like also added surrealism or steampunk. Sometimes the weirder the mix the better for me.

What is your favorite genre? What kind of stories are your favorite to explore? Share your opinion in a comment. #writingcommunity #authors #readingcommunity

@CDlunacy I haven’t heard about this one. Wonder myself.

Do #pitchfest things still happen on here for writers?

@Angelamac33367 I have this issue all the time 😄

Do you ever read a book so good that you doubt your own ability to ever create anything like that? I know, imposter syndrome is real.

@urbanponds101 Gorgeous! I’m a bit jealous. Mine has got only buds at the monent. A good couple of weeks away from flowering (especially in this cold weather).

And the Roses have decided to shine

OUT NOW. mybook.to/HomlessPunk

@MichaelFKane @J0hnADouglas That’s an unusual setting for fantasy 👍

@J0hnADouglas Here’s my dark nautical sci-fi/thriller set in the North of England. amazon.co.uk/Dive-Beyond-Et…

@KaylaRHerrera @evascalzo Congratulations 👍 Good luck with finding a good home for your MS!

I'm still in disbelief that this is actually happening. SO thrilled to be able to work with @evascalzo on my debut YA romantasy Pinocchio retelling! 🍾🥹

@AlanBreenAuthor I’ve created my author’s profile there and liked my books and some anthologies with my short stories to it. I don’t have much interaction, though. Use it primarily to review books.

As a new author, I'd really love to explore Goodreads more and connect with fellow readers and writers. If anyone has any advice on getting started, or building a presence, I'd genuinely appreciate it ❤️

@Elena__Carter__ We have some bloom here too, although it’s still cold 🌺🌸 P.S: this is my new account, my old one was hacked a few weeks ago 😞

Happy Monday! Have an amazing week! I’m just absolutely blown away by all the beauty around 😍 It’s finally warm and sunny, everything is blooming, and I’m enjoying every moment 🥰
