We took some time to recall some of our favorite memories of our favorite octopus 💖

"Dear diary, after traveling the globe, I've finally found the indie press I was searching for! I can't wait for all these great stories they're making! Anyway, I'm hungry now, bye! Love, Quillbert" 😁🐙

Great news, everyone! Hook & Quill Press is launching today as an indie publishing company, supporting and supported by the writing community (and one octopus). We have plenty of exciting announcements for your feed today, but here's a quick teaser...
#writesky #writingcommunity #quillbert4ever

Oh the suspense is killing me! I sure hope Quillbert has finally found what he's been looking for!

#writingcommunity #writesky #quillbert4ever #hookandquillpress

A plush octopus looks up at a wooden door. We see the bottom of a sign. The writing is cut off, but it looks like it could be saying "Hook & Quill Press" which honestly, isn't really a twist at all

Wait...gasp!!
What has Quillbert found?
Is he finally at the end of his big book-related quest...?
Could it be...????

#writingcommunity #writesky #quillbert4ever #hookandquillpress

Quillbert's quest is so inspiring! I have absolutely no doubt he'll find what he's looking for soon!

We believe in you Quillbert! 💛💛💛

#Bookvember 29

Had a bad reading dry spell this year, but I'm hopeful for the new year! Some of these are TBR, some are to be finished (probably need to start over, lol)

(Oh who's that pretty octoprincess? 😊❤️ #quillbert4ever)

Hey @chrisakins.bsky.social @kiraofthewind.com @dimreaper.bsky.social!🧵

Just keep swimming, Quillbert! Writers need all the help they can get. ❤️

"There's a place where magical stories are being told by some of the kindest and best writers I know, and I have pledged myself to help them."

Friends, Quillbert is feeling a little lost after finding himself at this cabin. I asked him again what he was looking for, and he handed me this note (transcribed in next post).
Let's help Quillbert out, and cheer him on so he can fulfill his quest!
#writesky #writingcommunity #quillbert4ever

These are all excellent choices, Quillbert! Maybe he can point me towards a few gems to share with my students during our oceanography unit. That is, if he's not too busy with his book quest...

#writesky #WritingCommunity #Quillbert4Ever

Ah, Quillbert is a cephalopod of culture I see! Hell yeah, libraries are so amazing and deserve all the support we can give them! 🥰❤️

Wonder where Quillbert's journey will take him next...?
#writesky #writingcommunity #writers #quillbert4ever

Quillbert's getting close to finishing his book-quest: he found himself at a library! Of course we celebrate all libraries and librarians along with Quillbert. Still, this doesn't seem to be quite what he's looking for. What else could be out there??
#writesky #writingcommunity #quillbert4ever

Looks like Quillbert enjoyed some delicious dip and a great movie! But I'm curious where his journey is leading him... 👀
#writingcommunity #writers #quillbert4ever

Franken-Dip! Who knew Quillbert was a talented chef as well as a book aficionado.

Quillbert found himself at a delightful movie night, but this isn't the book he's looking for. He's happy to follow local customs and feast today with gratitude toward everyone following along with his journey!

My head cannon is that Kenny Roger's "The Gambler" is playing in the background.

I guess Quillbert tired himself out from all that swimming and hopped on a train for the next leg of his book-related adventure. He gave me another hint about what he's up to, though! He said there's someone he's trying to help out?
