Hello! Here are all the ways you can keep track of what I’m up to or get in touch.
My newsletter is the best way to hear what I’m up to. I send emails weekly, usually on Fridays, with more about my books, what I’m currently working on, and fun and fascinating links that have come up in the week’s writing.
Just want to hear about new releases? Sign up, and then visit this form or click the link at the bottom of the emails to set your preferences. If you have trouble getting the emails you want, just drop me a note and I’ll take a look on my end.
My blog has posts about the world of Albion, plus other background. Right now I’m posting when I have something to share, on an irregular schedule.
Patreon
Want to learn a bit more about the nuts and bolts of my writing process? Would you like early access to extras and deeper dives into research? Want to support me doing more writing and historical geekery? My Patreon is a place for all these things. All tiers get the same access, so pledge at whatever level is comfortable for you. (It’s also fine with me to subscribe for a month, read a lot, and cancel.)
In 2026, I’m continuing to share three different sets of serial extras every month, one a week. There’s also one public post a month for everyone to enjoy, about my current research and related reading or other topics.
Discord
Want to chat with people who like my books – and me? We have a private Discord. Find out how to get the link and more about the server here. There are lots of fun historical links, Kiya and I going back and forth about current writing (Kiya’s my friend, editor, and first reader), and various people sharing the wonderful things they know about.
Elsewhere on the Internet
(current as of January 2026)
- Bluesky: I’m @celialake.bsky.social, and right now, that’s the place I’m most reliably commenting.
- Facebook: I’m CeliaLakeBooks over there. Announcements only, at the moment, and the place I’m least likely to notice comments. (Though I do check them periodically.)
- Ko-Fi: A couple of amazing readers have asked if there was a way they could buy me a coffee or the equivalent as a thank you for a book getting them through a hard spot. If that’s you, here’s my Ko-Fi. (Money from this goes into an extra bit of a book treat or takeout for me – not essential, but much appreciated.)
- No longer on: X (Twitter), Instagram, or Threads.
Get in touch
I answer all sincere email from real humans. And I love questions and notes from my readers!
But these days, the ‘real human’ part is getting more complicated. There’s been a big increase in spam (and scammy) emails for many authors these days, full of vague (AI generated) praise. Answering them can cause a range of other problems, so I don’t do that.
- The best way to sound like a real human is to ask or talk about something in a book that isn’t visible from the blurb or other public information.
- That can be a question, a comment, a thing you liked – any of that! Even something simple like the weird time zone situation in Ancient Trust.
- I also reserve the right not to reply to emails that include harassment or people who just aren’t clear on what I’m doing around here.
I try to reply to emails within 2-3 days, but sometimes it’s a bit longer or things got caught in my spam filters. (I check those weekly.) If you don’t have a reply after a week, please try again!
Thank you for your message!
