I’ve been in the writing cave for awhile now but had to take a research break today, which included reading this column by Arthur C. Clarke in the November 1954 issue of Seventeen Magazine. He wrote several columns about space and science for Seventeen, which also ran several features in the early 1950s on women engineers and scientists. Of course, men (or “man”) was always given priority, but it amazed me how positive and chipper Seventeen was about the possibilities for girls in science. #research #wip #seventeenmagazine #amwriting #authorsofinstagram

So excited that the cover for FRESH INK is out now! This is a #weneeddiversebooks YA anthology featuring short fiction by many authors including me! My story is a romantic comedy about two girls who meet at a Comic Con and it’s titled “Meet Cute.” That’s right this is a happy f/f story from me! ❤️ FRESH INK will be published in August 2018! #authorsofinstagram #freshink #queerya #shortstories

If you go out exploring, see if you can spot any tree monsters lurking about. While some can be frightening, most are very friendly and would be more than happy to have some company.

The end of summer is hard, especially when you have to move to a brand-new town and attend a brand new high school. As the days count down, Andrea tries to spend as much time with her friends as possible. One day, on a picnic in the park, Andrea becomes separated from her friends and finds shelter in a tree house. Andrea soon discovers that the tree house is connected to a large monster who doesn’t want her to leave…

#authorhomework is not about doing it all at once. It’s about small steps you can accomplish quickly that will make a deep, lasting impact on your career. This weekend, spend some time with one of your social profiles. What could you be doing better? How can you integrate those changes into your workflow?

Posted @withregram • @aghoward_writes Happy Friday! As promised, here is #ShadesofRustandRuin so we may bask together in all the eerily glorious details (see my linktree to view entire high-res image)! Thanks to Marcela Bolívar (@tropicalgloom) for this atmospheric #coverart! ARC #giveaway info, synopsis, and pub date below…

••Synopsis•• Phoenix “Nix” Loring knows her family is under a Halloween curse. When she was three, her parents tragically died on October 31st. Eleven years later, her twin sister Lark suffered a similar fate.

Ever since, Nix has battled survivor guilt. She can’t even find comfort in Clarey, Lark’s boyfriend and the one person who understands her pain, because Nix’s hidden feelings for him go far beyond friendship. All that remains are her sketches, where she finds solace among the goblins and faeries in her imaginary world of Mystiquel. When her depression starts affecting her ability to see color, Nix all but gives up on her art, until her uncle goes missing on Halloween day. Hot on his trail, Nix and Clarey step through a portal, becoming trapped inside a decaying version of their town filled with Nix’s own sketches come to life.
⚙️
As Nix and Clarey search for her uncle within the sinister and dangerous world of Mystiquel, Nix discovers there’s more to her family curse and otherworldly artwork than she ever imagined—and unless she can solve the Goblin King’s maze before the clock strikes midnight, her life won’t be the only one the curse claims next.
⏲️
A.G. Howard’s thrilling new fantasy–full of romance, twists, and betrayals and set in a gritty, #steampunk-inspired world–will hit shelves this September 6, 2022! (preorder links on linktree)
