Lily was a fellow during the 2023 winter sessions of Tinhouse and Roots.Wounds.Words. In 2024, they were a writing resident at Stove Works, Queer Materials Lab, and Chateau d’Orquevaux. They are a Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association Fellow, a Trans Journalists Association Fellow, and a culture writer for In These Times magazine.
