Skies are blue! Sound off!
I’m Brandon Hoang - tv writer and author
I used to be an animation exec before making the jump to writing
I was staffed on The Ghost & Molly McGee and a TBA show at Nick. Wrote a YA and a MG and have more books coming soon.
Can’t wait to fill your timeline with gifs!

Two of my books were published with The Big Five. The other was Scholastic.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

Said with love but there is a tone deafness in the "just write your spec!" advice that seems to be totally ignored in the current climate.
It works if you're repped. If reps are taking new clients. If places are buying A LOT. If rooms are staffing unknowns/lower levels. If not? It's a platitude.

It occurs to me that one reason artists summarily reject AI (and there are MANY reasons) is because artists are, by nature, people who move through the world at a different pace. We take time to notice light, colors bouncing off a flower petal, how someone moves, the angle of an eyebrow.

I’ve had a few librarians and booksellers ask about the shelf date for THE SECRET OF ATHRIA: THE INVENTOR’S EYE.
It’s currently targeted to release in Summer 2027 by @topshelfcomix.bsky.social
It’ll take a bit longer to get into kids’ hands but hopefully worth the wait!

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

The secret bathroom on the 12th story of the Netflix offices. Also thanks to a hangover. 💅🏽
what's the most exotic place you've ever puked? mine's not exactly exotic but i did once have a hangover at the nyc facebook office and barfed in their very nice bathroom
Got food poisoning from Fogo De Chao. Puked out the side of a moving cab along beautiful Copacabana Beach. The most exotic place I'll probably ever puke!

It's Transgender Day of Remembrance and I just want to say that a world without trans people would be a rainbow with many colors missing. We are brighter and more colorful in this world because of trans people, and have lost too many too early. I love you for being more you than most of us can be
