Nonfiction (as Amanda Nevius)

I write nonfiction across the genres of popular science and fashion, with published pieces in Remineralize the Earth and Just Femme & Dandy, exploring topics from sustainable ecosystems to queer style narratives.

Celosia moved to the frigid planet of Algrüsti to escape the omnipresence of plants and their sentient relatives, the Morts. But when her new friend unexpectedly leaves the planet, Celosia is left in charge of a botanical garden—and must confront her past in the process.

My most recent book, Bloemetje: a speculative retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's Thumbelina fairy tale, is available internationally as an ebook, paperback, and hardcover.
One miniature girl leads her human and fairy people to decolonize Venus.

Featured Quote

"Any army of occupation is apt to be fascist in its tendencies."
--Sigrid Schultz as quoted in The Dragon from Chicago by Pamela D. Toler (also available on Bookshop.org)
Needle felting looks intimidating. If it’s a funky light, I’m buying it! 💸 Pay What You Can ✨ New sticker line just in time for Small Business Saturday! ✨ Found this hand-embroidered rooster at a yard sale and couldn’t leave him behind 🐓💛 I’ve been submitting poems for years. Sometimes doubting, sometimes resting, but always returning. This acceptance means the world to me. Not just because it’s a win, but because it’s proof that quiet persistence works. What I’ve been up to the last two days: crafting in the backyard among the leaves, snuggling Jingles the cat, and soaking in the slow life. 🍂🐈‍⬛🪡 Some people’s boring is other people’s cozy destressing. 🌿 Sometimes the world feels like a firehouse directed right at your face. And we’re all under constant pressure to add to that water flow.
