So I’ve started Pride and Prejudice, and already I feel bad for Mrs Bennet.

Just one more month until @raqueltrave.bsky.social makes her GN debut, illustrating @ladybookmad.bsky.social's BOOKS, ICED COFFEE & A SIDE OF DRAGONS! @travisbaldree.bsky.social asks, “Does a sweet summer romance benefit from adorable dragons and beachy vibes? The answer is a delightful yes.”

Little fella fresh from the oven, still need to slap some paints on it. #claysculpture

If your brain doesn't make the chemicals it needs, there is nothing shameful or dependent on getting those chemicals from a doctor. Saying elsewise is saying that glasses, shoes, and clothing are all shameful, as our bodies are not naturally equipped to walk on broken glass without injury.

A limerick. Based on a true story.

Hey #portfolioday! In addition to my comics, I also illustrate novels. If you've got a fantasy, horror, or mystery novel that needs illustrating, I'm always looking for work! ethanaldridge.weebly.com

I had to do some fan art of Clara And The Below by @radrappy.bsky.social and team. It's in the final stretch, support indie animation! www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

It's #portfolioday again! I'm an author, illustrator and cartoonist. I'm currently making a serialized webcomic called Sable: A Ghost Story, which you can read now! sablecomic.com

I'm just a girl standing in front of publishing, asking it to DO BETTER!

Well, that's one imprint I'm definitely never doing work for (not that they'd even approach me, probably).

I'm Victoria, Argentinian illustrator based in France. Looking for new projects (kids publishing & tabletop games mainly but not exclusively!) #PortfolioDay hi@victoriamaderna.com victoriamaderna.com Animal painting comms: victoriamaderna.com/animal-paint... Prints: www.inprnt.com/gallery/vmad...

Now publishing scammers are posing as people at Kickstarter? What is next. It came from an obvious fake Gmail address. Writer friends, please be careful.

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!! -Do not support ANY of this -JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK -Seriously. NONE. Of it.

Absolutely thrilled to join Neighborhood Literary! Thank you @giannamarie.bsky.social for having faith in me and my writing!

Fuck this. As an industry, we are in an existential crisis of book banning because of homophobia and transphobia weaponized by racist authoritarians. “Dirty books” are not the problem. Censorship is. Make whatever books you like, but don’t you dare call other books dirty in your shitty marketing.

Just had a very exciting video call!

The WaPo cuts are devastating. And to cut the Books section entirely makes the already bleak critical landscape even more bare. This was all preventable but Bezos, who could find the post I perpetuity without noticing it, is hellbent on destroying the Post. And for what?

Boyfriends

I confused some folks with my industry jargon so, while this isn't a perfect analog, let me put Frontlist vs Midlist like this: (A thread) 🧵
