Academic/Author/Poet. They/Them/Their. TOBY WEARS A TUTU- @brandypublish, 2021.

[Ree Starling @loriswrites]

When you spend your waking hours writing poetry, you're tinkering with madness.
There's no better way to begin the day. 💜 #poetrycommunity #amwriting #poetrylovers #poetrytwitter #poetry

On the first day of Pride Month, you know we have to feature our best lil buddy!
Toby is a football player, a fashion star, a hiker—but the other kids just keep asking if Toby's a boy or a girl!
"Toby Wears a Tutu" by @loriswrites is for anyone who's not afraid to be themself!

After Beau’s dad, a sailor in the #Navy, deploys on the USS Nitze, he wonders where his father goes during deployment. An epic quest leads Beau to not only learn new languages, but find his dad in a place he never expects. #KidLitPit #L #PB

When Harvey the #dachshund hears hot “dogs” are on the menu for the Starling’s Family Reunion, does he manage to “escape the plate?” #KidLitPit #humor #picturebook

After being thrown in the trash, Dinner Roll struggles dealing with his anger. Then he meets Rock, who knows a thing or two about being tossed out. Can they help each other deal with the anger and create something legendary? #KidLitPit #humor #music

After a marine biologist visits an elementary school on the #leewardside of #oahu, #genderfluid Koa is inspired to do whatever it takes to save the #seaturtles: write, scream, pick up stinky trash, but does their voice get heard? #KidLitPit #Hawaii #LGBTQ

Berry's poem makes my heart full, and reminds me that there can be beauty in a world with hostility if we just slow down enough to remember to see it. #poetrylovers #wendellberry https://t.co/lhgKj0NMaM

Recently I started a new creative project, and it's really fueling my creativity more so than any writing I've ever done before. I felt I had lost any creative spark for a while, and this comes out of nowhere! #amwriting #poetrytwitter #poetrycommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter

Attention queer writers! I'm looking for pitches that are home-related (home as an actual space OR home as something more conceptual). Looking to assign a story or two this week, so if you've got some strong gay home ideas please send 'em my way.

[Ree Starling @loriswrites]

@LuhnateDaDon_ Proud of you!

[Ree Starling @loriswrites]

I love this! I read an Emily Dickinson poem a day, and reflect on it. Hearing her words put into song is amazing! The poem is experienced in a totally different way, and I love that. What sparks your creativity? #emilydickinson #poetry https://t.co/VjcoRkqvg4

@millie_abks These are great ideas! I've used scheduled tweets in the past, and I'll have to go that route again. Thanks!

I hate living in Hawaii when I want to take part in pitching events. 😞 My time zone really impacts people looking at my pitches. By the time I'm out of work to pitch, the event is over on the East Coast. #amquerying #amwriting #poetry #kidlit #fiction

@midsouth_flair I totally see where you are coming from though. By the way, I like your profile. When you stated "rejection letter collector!" Haha! Me too! We should make a club. 😂

[Ree Starling @loriswrites]

@midsouth_flair I wasn't asking for pity. I was just making a comment about how people that are in certain time zones would have a harder time getting their pitches seen during events. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to take off work for them, which is unfortunate. 😞

@SmashBearPH #nonbinary teen, Maddie, wrestles their demons every day and only finds sanctuary in their artwork. After an accident, they wake up in Spase: a sort of limbo. Alongside a friend from the past, can they fight to save the souls stuck there and their own? #LGBTQIA #OWN

@nehudgins Thank you!!!
