Hello everyone, my name is Joselin! The hopefully soon to be author of #hiddentruthsseries I am 22 years old and from Denmark, and am mostly self-taught in English. I love to write and read, and believe it or not I have at least 200 books I gathered over the years, and slowly building my English library too. Wanting to write is something I have wanted to since I was around 9 years old and read my very first book on my own( I was a slow learner ) and I just got obsessed with the fact that people could make these beautiful worlds, and I wondered if I had the ability to do it too. I have been working on this story since 2016, when I for fun decided to put a snippet of my first English book out on a website. A friend had dared me to try and write in English And oh boy, did I not only gain some amazing friends due to it but the courage to believe I could write and now I am here! Hopefully next year I am finishing self-editing, and have the courage for the next steps. I got lucky enough to meet a super talented cover maker @jen_munswami and is slowly but steady writing my way to publishing. 


#NewsofOurLovedOnes is a story of love and loss, beauty and the cost of survival. @abigaildewittauthor talks about the inspiration behind her dazzling and haunting novel, on sale 10/2!

#NewsofOurLovedOnes by @abigaildewittauthor is a stunning novel of love and loss, beauty and the cost of survival. Author Mark Powell calls it “a novel of astounding beauty, empathy, and eloquence…a book that belongs on the shelf with Irene Nemirovsky’s ‘Suite Francaise’ and Mohsin Hamad’s ‘Exit West,’ and all of our other great works of war and peace.” Pre-order now or look for it in bookstores 10/2!

I hand wrote some little stories for my readers and I think they have all arrived now so I’m not spoiling any surprises! They were meant to be drabbles but some ran long… It was really fun to revisit the worlds of #InOtherLands, #thelynburnlegacy, #thedemonslexicon, #chillingadventuresofsabrina, #fencecomic and even a short story of mine—I was so flattered readers wanted to visit with me and so pleased they donated to the great anti-DV cause of @thepixelproject - thank you for waiting on me everyone! I put this picture up so you can see some of the story titles—some of the titles say a lot! Maybe I’ll share some of the stories later, if the recipients say it’s okay, since the stories are theirs now. I always love thinking about the moment stories become not just mine but ours. #authorsofinstagram #sunbrat

Winter Sunday vibes. Am in a blanket burrito and last night’s lashes, on sofa with the kittens. Reaching for edits… but they are so far… May watch my new drama #badbuddyseries or #acastleforchristmas instead! If you went outside today you’re a superhero already in my book, and if you’re cosy on the sofa you’re a soul sibling. Have a lovely day whichever it is. ❄️ #winternonfashion #authorsofinstagram

I’m working hard on edits of my new and mysterious novel. Edits are not my strong suit so please think of me during this spooky season as I kill my darling banters, beauteous followers. (Critique partners: books CAN’T be 70% jokes 30% suffering. Me: explain why.) #authorsofinstagram #thiswritinglife #pomegranates #evil #unicornpostits

Announcement:

The last two copies of Own Your Shit that I have in stock will be the last of the paperbacks that will be available for sale in SA, with the only other sale copy available at Bookcirclecapital in Melville.

I will be replacing it with the revised edition titled Own Your Life. The image below is a concept for the cover design that I am working on. More details about the release date will follow soon.

Copies of Own Your Shit will continue to be available via Amazon, Kindle, and Book Depository for those that prefer this title.

Own Your Life will carry the same message, but will be updated to provide further clarity and ease of reference based on reader feedback.

Please let me know if a smaller format (e.g. A6 instead of the current A5 format) will be more suitable, or a size between those two? Or should I just keep it with the current size? I also hope to include more space for personal notes and introspection throughout the book.

Sunday morning feels…

Time is elusive, especially when you think you’re owning it.

Don’t only contemplate life.

Hope everyone had a nice first day of 2019! I made Osechi Ryori (Japanese new year food). We got some sun and camellias were blooming in the yard. ❤️

Haiku–11 January 2018

Something a bit different from my usual output. Today I published a short story based on Doctor Who to the BBC’s Mixital site.
.
I fancied writing something different from my typical transgressive stories, and I’ve never tried my hand at writing for the revived series Doctors. I wrote a few classic Doctor Who stories when I was a teenager, with one of my ambitions being to write an official Doctor Who novel. That novel remains partially written, but fully planned, waiting patiently for me to return to it. Who knows, maybe I will.

Looking forward to my IG Live tomorrow with Josh Rushing.
9/17 12 pm PST/3 pm EST
#repost @joshrushing:
Be sure to catch Thursday’s IG Live with Walidah Imarisha, who I met in Portland a few years ago while on assignment for @AJFaultLines.  

Walidah is a writer, historian, public scholar, poet, activist and professor committed to not only imagining but creating a better world without poverty, prisons and inequality. “What would it look like,” Imarisha asks, “to use the tens of billions of dollars spent on the prison system differently: for living wage jobs, for public education, for health care, for quality affordable housing, and more?”

We’ll talk about this vision and why she believes even nonfiction books must be read partially as fiction… as well as race, gender, Star Wars, the creative process and what she’s learned about life along the way.

Check out Walidah’s projects here: https://www.walidah.com/projects-1.

I’m not even halfway through but I have decided I love this book a LOT. So experimental, so precise in the way it hurts and heals. Masterful writing by @yararodriguesfowler, you can’t tell this is a debut book. It’s out next week so make sure to treat yourself to this new kind of brilliance. You deserve it!

A friend mentioned yesterday that my book already has a 5 star review on Goodreads and my heart skipped a beat. The book is out on 27th June and available to preorder on Amazon (link in bio), Waterstones and Book Depository (free international shipping).

“Talkhani offers a fresh perspective on living as an outsider and examines her relationship with her mother and the challenges she faced when she experienced hair loss at a young age. Rejecting the traditional path her culture had chosen for her, Talkhani became financially independent and married on her own terms in the UK. Drawing on her personal experiences Talkhani shows how she fought for the right to her individuality as a feminist Muslim and refused to let negative experiences define her.”

#SaltSlow is tugging me to places I didn’t know I could exist in. I’m in absolute awe of Julia Armfield’s writing. Thanks for the advance copy @kishani and congratulations on publishing this brilliant work, it’s everything and more.

I’ve been waiting patiently for these chapbooks to arrive and they are finally here! Dived right into DESIRES BECOME DEMONS because I love everything Meena Kandasamy touches. I’m equally excited for the other three titles (swipe to see), especially AGAINST HEALING. Published by @tiltedaxispress through @kickstarter crowdfunding.

Merry and Bright on a gray Monday. #ohchristmastree #authorsofinstagram #celebrateinplace
