& here’s the self-promotion: SOME DESPERATE GLORY, a book about a horrid teenage terrorist going on a very unwilling voyage of personal discovery, has now been nominated for four major genre awards. That suggests it’s pretty good! Have you read it? Would you like to? www.amazon.com/dp/125083498...

I am genuinely finding it hard to express how I feel about finding SOME DESPERATE GLORY included in the shortlist for the LeGuin Prize. It’s an honour, is the short version. electricliterature.com/announcing-t...

Announcing The Shortlist for the 2024 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction - Electric Literatureelectricliterature.com The $25,000 prize celebrates a book-length work of imaginative fiction

incredibly honored to have gotten to be a part of TWO of this year’s @ursulakleguin.bsky.social Prize finalists. @nghivo.bsky.social & @emilytesh.bsky.social are infinitely brilliant (and both of these books are also up for Hugos if you’re still filling out your ballot 👀)

ASUNDER is just a stellar damn book. It's SABRIEL meets HELLRAISER post a brutal invasion of gods slaughtering all the current gods. Karys Eska, the MC is a deeply wounded person who is fighting for her life quite literally. The world is fantastically different & painfully familiar. GET THIS!

Hugo nominations close soon! As usual I'm tearing out my hair trying to narrow down my own nominations, but it's also time to once again shamelessly trumpet-blow about my own work 🎺🎺🎺

Loath as I am to acknowledge the passage of time in this manner: here's an award eligibility post! I'm proud of this whole short list, but especially proud to look back and realise that I've now brought out a WHOLE-ASS TRILOGY.

if you, like me, just remembered that nominations close today + @freyamarske.bsky.social’s The Last Binding trilogy in series!

All my books have been published very late in the year, which is not ideal for making it onto ballots, but GEAR UP, my folks, because I plan to be non-stop loud and proud and shameless in reminding you that I'm eligible for Best Series in the 2023 Hugos! 📣

It's October! The Hugo Awards Rec Spreadsheet has 101 novels, 43 novellas, 24 novelettes (we can do better!! I'm sure of it!), 76 short stories (that's all??? wow), 29 YA/MG books, 9 graphic stories (sob), 27 games (just in case). Now's a great time to add your 2023 recs! bit.ly/hugoaward2024 #sff

ok smol thread! Do you ever do something as an author that's SO VERY CLEVER AND CHALLENGING and then and then nobody notices? Y'all I wrote 1 of 5 POVs in a 3rd person book entirely without personal pronouns and I don't think anyone's mentioned it at all 🤣🤣🤣 #TheWaterOutlaws
