.@NYCSanitation I'd like to report a sweep

[Ben Crane @BenACrane]

Did you resolve to read more books this year? Well, there are still two days left in the Barnes & Noble 50% off hardcover sale, making now the perfect time to pick up a copy of my queer heist thriller, A Man of Lies.

[Emma R. Alban @ERAlban]

I am SO excited to have the launch for DON'T WANT YOU LIKE A BEST FRIEND at @therippedbodice LA on January 12th, 2024 at 7pmPT in Culver City!

If you're in the SoCal area, I would love to see you there. I'll be in conversation with the wonderful Edward Underhill! 🎟️ at 🔗 below!

I am so excited and incredibly honored to announce that DON'T WANT YOU LIKE A BEST FRIEND is a ✨January 2024 Indie Next Pick!✨

Thank you so very much to @ABAbook and all the amazing independent booksellers who read, reviewed, and voted for my sapphic Victorian debutantes!

[Ben Crane @BenACrane]

Thank you so much to @charlottereader for having me on to talk about A Man of Lies. It was such a joy to speak with Hannah about the intersection of film and literature, queerness in crime fiction, and techniques for writing fast-paced prose. https://t.co/4wrZopBbct

I am incredibly excited and honored to announce that DON'T WANT YOU LIKE A BEST FRIEND has received a ✨Starred Review✨ from Kirkus!

Do you like cool projects made by good people? You’re in luck! This is the coolest project, made by the best people. Pre-order now because Barnes & Noble won’t let me a 17th time(jk, get 18 if you’d like!)

[Ben Crane @BenACrane]

I am over the moon! @ALA_Booklist praises COSMIC CADETS: "the bold artwork captures the intensity of the situation and anxiety of the characters expertly. A stellar choice for middle-grade comics fans."
Get it April 27! @topshelfcomix @IDWPublishing

The prison environment in Andor was incredible. Was anyone else more afraid of getting their hand stuck in the machinery than touching the electric floor though? Every time they pulled their hands away I felt lighter…

@thetzechun Hi Tze! I write character driven dramedies and my script, Racket Boys, is currently featured on the Black List Top List. I’ve worked as a WA on multiple projects at HBO and a feature project at Elara pictures. Looking for any room experience. Thank you so much for your time!

[Nick Nappa @nicknappa]

@thetzechun I’m Nick! I write character driven dramedies. My script, Racket Boys, is on the Black List Top List and has placed in the ScreenCraft TV pilot competition. I’ve worked as a WA on multiple HBO projects and a feature project at Elara Pictures. Looking for any room experience!

[Nick Nappa @nicknappa]

@tonytost Making those little revisions along the way to produce that organic wholeness is something I’ve been leaning on lately, as a reaction to a pressing deadline. Plotting is definitely important, but the organic results from the run and gun revisions feel more exciting to me now.

[Nick Nappa @nicknappa]

@tonytost I guess trusting the emotional gut and shooting from the hip a bit more wouldn’t hurt either?

[Nick Nappa @nicknappa]

@tonytost That makes a lot of sense! I think sometimes I mistake that tether for something that needs to be redrafted. The old writing is rewriting idea rings in my head and I lose a grip on those touchstones. Funny enough, I usually end up returning to them though.
