Hallo! I’m Nita, a trans author and translator from North Carolina. I’ve published three queer YA novels across genres with @harpercollins.bsky.social. More to come (not YA!) in the next year, so for updates follow me here or subscribe to my newsletter nitatyndall.substack.com.
Tonight’s research watch is the National Theatre Live “All About Eve” with Gillian Anderson because it’s thematically relevant to the book I’m revising (not just because of the toxic MILF also that’s. Definitely part of it.)

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

We’ve all seen the “In the dark times will there be singing” poem by Brecht (tr. John Willett) but I wanted to take time today on Substack to highlight his other poem about work in dark times: open.substack.com/pub/nitatynd...
"A bad time for poetry"
In the dark times, will there also be singing?

A lot of recent adult romances are actually dramas with jokes and bright lights. They aren’t soft, romantic or horny enough. Heated Rivalry gets it right.
The success of HEATED RIVALRY blows apart two massive Hollywood myths, proving:
1) Gay intimacy on screen is NOT bad for business.
2) The Anti sex-scene discourse is horseshit. Audiences are horny and want horny things. 12 Year olds with anime pfp don't constitute a demographic worth catering to.
