RELEASE DAY!☕️🖤
I can't believe that SWC is out in the world, and I am forever grateful for any person who made this happen. Whether apart of the process of creating the book itself or supporting its creation every step of the way, from the bottom of my overwhelmed little heart, thank you!☕️🖤
April 28, 2025 at 6:26 AM
I can't believe that Sorry, We're Closed will be out in the world tomorrow!🥹
I am forever grateful for every single person who has ever shown love and support for Sawyer and Avory's story, and to think that anyone will be able to get their hands on their journey tomorrow is so surreal!☕️🖤

A huge thank you to the amazing @whatistylerwriting.bsky.social for this book box for his debut novel Sorry, We're Closed! I'm so excited to get stuck in to it!

Plus the art is all GORGEOUS (there's another piece that's nsfw, guess you'll have to go look yourselves ;) ) 💚

All of the digital ARCs for Sorry, We're Closed went out in early March, and already having so many beautiful reviews is making me want to cry in the best possible way (spoiler alert, I have already cried multiple times over these!)☕️🖤

Please brag to me about what you're making. Knitting, crochet, embroidery, spinning, sewing, weaving--it's all good. What's making you proud?
