So incredibly excited for everyone to get their hands on this project. @stephwrites.bsky.social has a voice that just captures your attention and doesn’t let you go until the final sentence 🎉
*pssssst*
Hey
You know that one project?
That one you've wanted to write FOREVER except it's scary as hell & maybe you don't feel good
enough or brave enough or strong enough?
Spend 15 min on it today
Keep the dream alive
Even a pot on the back burner needs to occasionally be stirred
It looks fantastic!! 🩷🩷

Sometimes I feel like I’ve lived 6 whole lives already in this industry and then I look at the clock and it’s only Noon
Authors, take note
Love this as someone who has internally been struggling with being an editor and also an author! Sometimes it feels odd to wear two different hats at different times!
POV: me with secret deals I can’t talk about yet and beautiful covers that can’t be revealed yet. So excited for my authors though!! ❤️
I am so excited and profoundly grateful to announce my adult debut!!! ❤️🎉
This book is for anyone who has ever had to carry something alone for much too long. For the misunderstood. For those who have had to learn to choose themselves.
@melissarechter.bsky.social and I are going on an adventure!
Ahh!! SO excited to work together on this!! ❤️🍄🐦⬛
Yes please! Feel free to send it through our submissions email and address it to me!
Would love to see more cozy mysteries! Whether it’s a traditional one a la Amanda Flower or something a bit more in the vein of DIAL A FOR AUNTIES.
I love bookish or cooking premises, something that is lightly paranormal (think witches or a friendly ghost.) and an animal companion!

Congrats! ❤️🎉
Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
If you’re interested in what I’m looking for, my #mswl is always up to date!

I’ll be dipping into #questpit if I ❤️ your pitch, feel free to send your first 3 chapters and synopsis to Melissa.rechter@crookedlanebooks.com
Only adult books for me!
Thank you!! ❤️ We had “Concerning Hobbits” playing for the recessional 😉
I guess you could say we had an eventful weekend!
Witches will forever be my #1 ✨ especially when it comes to cozy fantasy or speculative fiction
I’ve been saying this and will keep saying it!
👋🏻 I’m publishing people ❤️📚
Hiiii! Friends attending #malicedomestic, the deadline for #AgathaAward Nominations is TOMORROW and I'd love it if you would think of A DEADLY ENDEAVOR when making your nominations! Edie is eligible for Best First Novel and Best Historical Novel! #CrimeFiction #Mystery
It’s the first week in office in 2025 and I’ve already made my colleagues groan because of a pun I made. It’s a great start to a new year ✨
Love this!
I’m hearing it was from Manuscript Academy’s starter pack!
