Mired deep in the writing, editing, and publishing prep trenches, I can honestly say that hearing from you readers is the main highlight of Katherine D. Graham's June 2026 writing roundup. Here's the full recap from Katherine:

Whoo, what a month, friends! *Sinks down on a comfy couch with Sofi the cat.* 

While on the outside June may have seemed quieter than most of this year for updates, on this side of the screen it has been pure chaos. YOU, though, made every second worth it.

-Readers around the world have started submitting suggestions for places I should visit on my 2027 book release tour.

-You've also helped me decide whether you think Starfire Express: A Flame of Fae and Fang is a fairy tale or not.

-I got some great book recs from readers who replied to my newsletters and will be buying a few to read in July. Thank you!

-I was also honored to be able to come alongside some amazing peers to sponsor a new bookish Fairy Tale Giveaway, hosted by the amazing USA Today bestselling author C.L. Cannon. (This one is still running! Grab a spot if you haven't already.)

-And while all of that was going, I was writing, editing, and teaching some writing classes/coaching writing challenges for fellow writers.

July is looking exciting already with new giveaways in the works, Starfire Express: A Flame of Fae and Fang's cover commission slated to kick off the process this month, and even a surprise potential call into Jury Duty to kick the month off.

If you want to be one of the first people to hear the bookish news in July (and be on the list for the Cover Reveal Party once the cover is finalized), please sign up for my newsletter HERE. I send emails ~once a week unless it's a launch week (which usually only happens 2-3 times per year).

Wishing you a wonderful summer of amazing bookish adventures!

-Katherine
