Can you tell @turningofpages.bsky.social had fun editing Lucy May Smith's debut?

We promise our editorial reports for our clients are far more professional. That being said, don't be surprised if you get an unhinged reaction every now and then if your book rips our hearts out... 👀

Being a manager of @twistedthorneh.bsky.social occasionally means I actually have to… manage. Ikr? Wtf.

So today is one of those days where I’ve dragged myself from the pages and am dealing with real world stuff.

Ew.

So to help: coffee and cake. Hooray! 🥰

One of our favourite things about being editors is that we get to support so many authors on their writing journeys, by providing advice to help make their story even better.

Remember, that story will always be yours. We're not here to take away your voice, we're here to help you amplify it 🖤

Why choose Twisted Thorn? (part II) 🥀

We believe that every story, no matter how dark or complex, deserves to be told with clarity, power and heart 🖤

Evil EVIL authors the lot of you 😭 No one speak to me while I'm awaiting the next book in an ongoing fantasy series, my poor little heart can only cope with so much...

❓ Authors/Readers, what's the most jaw-dropping cliffhanger you've written/read?

We stand with equality. We stand with freedom. We stand with revolution.
With the world looking far too similar to the dystopian novels we all know and love, we want to make it clear where we stand. We're not here to cause arguments, we're here to express values work with authors who share them 🖤

Happy Guy Fawkes Night 🔥

We know how scary things are in the world right now. Dystopian novels are feeling far too accurate for our liking.

If anyone's up for a gunpowder plot part 2 electric boogaloo, best of luck to you... Cheeky bit of treason never hurt anyone, right? 👀
