The heroic @ellatholmes.bsky.social and @kateorman.bsky.social have read
more than 200 stories. It’s epic. It’s fantastic. It’s inspiring! I think you guys need a hug, and a nap.
@phenomenapress.bsky.social need your love and help and in return you'll get an awesome book or other goodies! Sounds like a bargain to me. I've bought my copy. #queerwriters www.kickstarter.com/projects/meg...

Cover image of a book called The Collected Hulderotica Year One, written by Kaya Skovdatter. Background is a figure in a shadowed figure in a scarf and dress, holding an umbrella. Their face too is covered in shadow, only two unnerving points of light shining out of that darkness. Around the figure is a lush, overgrown forest painted in a variety of greens, and before them is a rock-edged forest pool with the figure's reflection cast in its green-tinged surface. The title is overlaid against the cover image, its text matte white.
Also, The Collected Hulderotica Year One pre-orders are on sale ($3.95 USD/$5.25 CAD). The book's out 03/17. 160k of deeply queer (trans, pan, poly, etc.) romance/erotica+ in the vein of Lost Girl/Sanctuary/Supernatural.

OK but WHICH dragons and lesbians???
I don't mean things that are already book covers, I mean, just randomly finding art online and thinking "yeah, that's a vibe I need in my life".
Does everyone look at gorgeous artwork and go "I want to read the book that tells THAT story?" I bet we do.
All declines for the anthology are out now EXCEPT for stories received in the last 2 days of the call. If you haven't heard from us and your story was submitted more than a couple of days ago, you're in our round two.
Submissions are now CLOSED for the first Scylla Publishing anthology :) We are humbled (and a tiny bit scared) that there were 211 submissions for this book, and we have some work ahead!! Thank you to everyone who submitted, talked about, promoted or did anything to help this process!
Small reminder that we have ONE MORE DAY of subs on our first anthology, and that we are in Australia so Feb 28th comes faster… 😂😂
I’ll allow it :) 😂😂😂
This thread is both amazing, and dangerous (to your TBR pile!) #booksky
This is just Duosuma warning folks we are closing subs in three days! (Exciting!)
That is shockingly on point. Wow.
Add “contemporary fantasy” to that list too.
We are so excited about things heating up over at Scylla! Authors, anthologies, writing, marketing, oh my! Can’t wait to tell you all what’s happening. ❤️🎉
Not selling it yet! :) just some stuff for us to wear and hand out at book fairs.
NOW LIVE!

Scylla Publishing has merch!! It’s very exciting.
Scylla Publishing book bag that says “Magical Sapphic Different” and a stack of paperback books with the program for Melbourne Bookfair.
Spent the day being inspired by the Aussie talent on display at Melbourne Bookfair and met the delightful @amiekaufman.bsky.social and @firecatz.bsky.social - meeting Isobelle Carmody was all my childhood introverted bookworm dreams come true. Bought too many books I’m now lugging back to Sydney.
Umm…sold!

Stylised image with a melting clock and a sea squid on water, with the words Two Weeks Left to Submit a Story - Feb 28th 2026, and the Scylla Publishing logo.
Well, we are in the final days! If you're still polishing up a story for the anthology now's the time :) #queerwriters #writingsky www.scyllapublishing.com/anthology-su...
Lil before-bed request to check out my fashion + space opera anthology!! Would be really grateful for folks to back it. We are 8 days away from wrrapping up and have $4k to go.
And hoping we very soon get to the point in queer fiction where we say “that’s not for me” and walk past rather than going on the attack. Personally I support all queer publishing. What do you gain by ripping into one of your own?
We are also allowed to like spec fic without death, hopelessness and body horror. That’s not a queer thing that’s a “what do we like to read” thing. And we have very specific reasons for not wanting to do it. Every publisher has their niche.
There’s a lot here to address. I’m allowed to like sex without wanting to publish sheer erotica. We don’t do hard scifi and high fantasy because those ARE genres trad pubs get behind so well represented. We don’t do romantasy for same reason. Trans women ARE women I don’t need to call it out.
