I wonder whether the original writers, illustrators, and translators who worked on Rosalina's Storybook in the game will be credited in the physical book, or is it just "Created by Nintendo"? Probably the latter, I know how IP works. 🤷‍♂️
Rosalina’s Storybook is published my Dark Horse Books. Releases Nov 25th for $24.99 buff.ly/tXrNB23

FOR WRITERS/SUBMITTERS: Thinking about making changes to my rejection letters for stories that have been held for additional reads. If there was an option where you could reply and request a very brief (1-2 sentence) summarization of reading team comments, is that something you'd be interested in?

Just donated! I've had the privilege of reading at KGB and of attending many many readings, and this series is one of the things I miss most about living in NYC. I can't imagine the SFF community without it and I love listening to the recordings and attending whenever I can. Please donate and boost!

I can finally share this exciting news: I wrote the first young adult novel set in the world of Little Nightmares! I love the video games, and it was thrilling to translate their eeriness and mystery to the page. Look for The Lonely Ones this September from Scholastic. 🎡
