Trans authors, I’ll be offering free 15 min calls to demystify the publishing industry and answer any questions. My email is on the Ki website!

They're acting like the problem with denying so many vulnerable people a covid vaccine this year is that the information informing us that we're no longer eligible isn't clear enough on the booking website!
