A. M. James

Hey guys! Now that I’ve had a second to relax after a crazy few weeks, I have an announcement to make: I’ve been chosen as a mentee in the @BootcampMentors program by the Watty winning, sapphic sci-fi queen, @laurendoubleu ! I’m so incredibly honored and super excited to pick her brain to get Celestial Mechanics over the finish line. Not only was she an early champion of CM but, during the same ONC year, we both wrote stories with protagonists named Lana. I think it was a sign :) 
          
          Anyway, back to my cave to write! I’ll pop back up in June with new chapters of Celestial Mechanics and the tutelage of a lifetime under my belt. And, in the meantime, everyone should check out Lauren’s page for plenty of gorgeously written sci-fi with strong characters and even stronger LGBTQ themes!

Is bananas a Dreamland thing? (⁠ʘ⁠ᴗ⁠ʘ⁠✿⁠)

I’m reading your book for the best villain category and need to ask, when does Naberius appear? I haven’t found this character name yet and I’m several chapters in. I want to make sure I get to meet the character I’m judging. Please let me know as soon as you can. 

We are looking for new talent and new writers for our awards. We would love to have you.

Hey guys! I apologize for my radio silence. Real life has been life-ing which hasn’t left much time for online life. But, seeing as this is my 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY ON WATTPAD, I figured I’d pop in to update you on what I’ve been doing offline. And the answer is… writing!
          
          First things first, my baby, Slate Gray, made it to Round 3 in the Amby Awards and I couldn’t be prouder of her. I’m currently working on book 2 in the Slate Series and while I wanted to post her in October, I need a little more backlog before I officially launch her. I’m going to tentatively start posting in early 2026 so keep an eye out for the return of the Slate sisters in the new year!
          
          Also offline, I’ve been expanding Celestial Mechanics into a full-fledged novel! As of right now, I have a forty-chapter outline which means double the yearning, double the handcuffs and double the space lesbian shenanigans. Also, can anyone say prison riot? I’m aiming to post the novelization in June in honor of Pride and then perhaps submit it to the Wattys!
          
          That’s all I have for now! I can’t believe its been two years since I first made my account and decided to upload SG. The people I’ve met on this site and the encouragement I’ve received have been so formative to me as a writer that, ironically, words can’t express how much y’all mean to me. Here’s to following your dreams, throwing it on the page, commenting in all caps and supporting each other when writer’s block strikes. Love you guys and happy holidays!!

Decided to join this award for feedback on Celestial Mechanics since I'm eyeballs deep in a really exciting expansion :)

I'm trying to be totally chill about this but I am SO EXCITED to announce that @ScienceFiction just added Celestial Mechanics to their Ambassador's Pick List!! It's always such a thrill to see my messy space lesbians getting recognition! Check out all the amazing sci fi stories here: https://www.wattpad.com/list/1749924015
