Yall 🥺 My debut novel, THESE VILE HEARTS, (and sequel!) is going to be published by Putnam of PRH and I am 🤯 about this.

Definitely made a deal with a dryad to land my brilliant editor, Daphne Durham, and rockstar agents @stutitelidevara.bsky.social and @petejknapp.bsky.social

Good to meet you, I'm Finn and this is my first post! Here's some things about me. How are you, and how'd you get here?

A cat, peach, armadillo, moon, and scorpion depict a few facts about Finn, including that she is a Cancer Sun, Scorpio Rising, and loves drawing and writing. IG: finn_garland_

Melody Robinette @melodyrobinette.bsky.social · Jun 6

Hi blueskyyyy! I am still here. But I’m on deadline and that means I’m busy…scrolling for hours and playing the Switch and scrolling some more and then panic writing at the very end of the day ✌🏻🙂

hello friends! my colleague, the brilliant Lorna Hemingway, is on the hunt for new projects! she represents everything in the children's space from board books to YA and is specifically looking for:

- contemporary romance
- coming of age (especially BIPOC)
- gorgeous, punchy graphic novels

So, I’m guessing dystopian books are coming back with a vengeance? Or are we just calling it contemporary fiction now?

This is so wild because when I was a teacher my white students were always the most boring of the class 💀—interested in mostly mainstream pop culture things or sports. Meanwhile my walls were mostly covered in the artwork and writing of my black and brown students

Type 1 diabetic here—I’m fairly convinced they could cure all types of diabetes if they really wanted. But why would they want to when they make so much 💰money💰off us?

Hamilton has been my workout soundtrack for the past two weeks (for some reason??) so I didn’t even need to read the rest of this post after “the Federalist Papers” before I’m belting out Non-Stop 💀

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

✨ANNOUNCEMENT✨

After a decade of writing and more than a dozen manuscripts, I can now say: I am going to be a published author! My debut follows an Ethiopian-American college dropout infiltrating Harvard to scam a wealthy friend group. So, so excited to share this with y'all!*

A Publisher's Marketplace screenshot over a character art of a black girl in a black dress holding a glass of wine. The screenshot reads:

TOO PRETTY TO LIE
By Birukti Tsige
Fiction: Debut
November 14, 2024
Birukti Tsige's TOO PRETTY TO LIE, a heist-revenge novel pitched in the vein of PORTRAIT OF A THIEF, following a hustler as she infiltrates the Harvard elite to steal from the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful, to Nidhi Pugalia at Viking, by Jennifer March Soloway at Andrea Brown Literary Agency (world).

Tell me why I work out harder to the Hamilton soundtrack than any other workout playlist I’ve ever made 💀

Melody Robinette @melodyrobinette.bsky.social · Nov 15
