Hello! My name is Charlie and I'm a trans boy from England. I want to create a Tumblr blog specifically for writers of the non-cis variety, to discuss and uplift each other in a market where we are next to invisible.

I'm currently studying Creative Writing at university and hope to build this platform with the intention of showing the publishing market that people want to read books, by trans and nb folk, about trans and nb folk.

I'm followed by a fair few writeblrs so ask that if you are a writeblr please reblog this post, but specify in the tags whether you are cis or not. I would love the help of spreading this post by cis allies however I would prefer if the blog I created was specially for trans & nb folk for the aforementioned reasons!

Please message me if you would be interested in being an admin for the blog! I would like to know: your name, pronouns, age, location (country/ state), what genres you enjoy writing and finally, why you'd like to be admin/ what you think you could contribute to the network.

Excerpt of some funky fresh Lore about the world where my new book is set.

Before the small mortals of Aralith were brought to life by The Bright Sun, there were the Titans.

Giant, bizarre creatures moulded by Malïel to shape the world as he desired. Raising mountains and carving riverways, the Titans were as varied as they were strong.

The size of the mountains they created, Malïel would look upon his children and be pleased. They were loyal and powerful, dominating all they were told to.

But, like all children, they were often reluctant to follow their father’s orders.

Are There Lesbians? No

What Happens? Ida can time travel. Or at least that's what she thinks is happening. In fact, she is constantly shifting through universes and her other selves are not happy about it.

The Verdict: I have a confession to make. I don't really like Australian lit. This is most likely due to being force-fed all sorts of mediocre classic Australian texts at school and as such, I have built up a strong resentment towards the genre as a whole. What this means however, is that when I do read something from an Australian author that I like, I am delightfully surprised. IDA is one such text. I had trepeditions going into it a) because I am wary of Auslit, but also b) I’ve never particularly liked the use of Narnia-style alternate universes in novels. Its turns out that I was somewhat misled by the blurb however, and need not have been worried about the latter (there are no coming of age style adventures in another land here). The former concern turned out not to be a worry either because damned if this isn't a fantastic book. Alison Evans has written the best AusYA novel I have read since reading Finding Cassie Crazy in high school. They have earned the Peoples Choice Award for the Vic Premier's Literary Award a thousand times over, and I would love to see their work gain more recognition. This review has actually come at a bit of a crazy moment as Alison has become the focus of Piers Morgan and some of his followers. This sort of ignorance and desire to focus on the lives of others is both sickening and saddening. I don't want this to be the focus of my review but it's definitely going to be overshadowed by it. I loved this book and Alison has done so well to get where they are. If I can convince you to check out IDA please do so, and help support this amazing queer author!

IDA is chock-full of queer characters. There's only like one straight person in this book and I am living. The main character is Bi and in love with a non-binary person (and I love their love and want them to be happy) and two other side characters are both genderqueer and, frankly, their outfits sound #goals. Not only is my queer saturation level met, but the characters are extremely well written. They are all emphatically queer without going through the trope-filled coming-out storyline or struggle against prejudice. Sure, Ida especially doesn't know what she wants in life, but the novel manages to be about that without pushing her queerness to the side. I think there is a fine balance between a novel simply being about the fact that the main character is queer and a character being "just like everyone else but I like people of the same gender etc," and Alison has managed not only to find it, but use it with aplomb.

I really cannot stress enough how much I love this book. IDA has some wonderfully tense moments and it would be easy to categorise it as a horror or thriller. I was constantly rooting for all the characters, but particularly for Ida to get back to her partner Daisy. The worlds in which they didn’t know each other broke my heart! There is also a fantastic visual element to the novel which makes it easy to feel as if you are a part of things. To return to referring to IDA as a horror novel for a moment, Alison manages to find everyday things - like a tea stain - and make them unreal and, quite frankly, a little terrifying. In my fiction I love this sort of twisting of the everyday into something strange. It is how it is so easily inserted into the “real” world which creates a feeling of unease and wonder. It’s really fantastic to see this sort of thing being so well executed.

I am beyond thrilled to share this commission of Masika, the MC of Where The Stars Are, with everyone! I literally squealed when I recieved the final product; she's captured so beautifully here! ❤️‍🔥

Huge thanks and shout out to @feliville for his amazing work on this 🥺 I highly recommend giving his account a follow!
