I took one of my best friends to @anomaly_sf (https://anomalysf.com/, Sutter Street in the city). She said she wanted to feel like a princess, and the mission was accomplished. 😁😋 Does "lux" apply to food? You could pay them a visit then tell me. Might need it for a novel someday. #foodstagram #sffoodie What awesome night, meeting such brilliant people at the Fuse Literary dinner! I should have, but failed to grab a photo of the wine—incidentally named Fuse, too. Did I hear, "book trailer?" 📼📚 Turns out I have more lovely book people in my life than I can possible get a lunch reservation for, but I'm delighted these 11 could make it to an early birthday shindig for me this year. EX STACY, my queer adult sci-fi thriller, about a dead sorority girl resurrected to testify against her killer, now has representation! Literary agent @erniechiara writes better pitches than me. And out of dozens of betas and CPs, he's the only person to notice I alliterate like a weirdo when I get bored during writing?? 😅 I am very excited to join Fuse Literary. Area wordsmiths congregate to fuel the furnaces 🍲☕

My first big #authortok #writing Tiktok is about sensitivity readers. I wrote 2 characters for an #immersivetheater project, SPIRIT PARLOUR, at Cafe Nordo (Seattle, WA). I hired SRs to help me with historical Filipino culture, as well as the ancestral Seminole Indigenous peoples of Florida. More links, credits (and perhaps excessive detail!) on my blog at http://https://shiwritesprose.com/blog/ — follow me for more to come in writing news, especially books! 🤫 #sensitivityreader #diversity #writersoftiktok
