Here is our full list of authors and stories! (ALT text to have it written down)

Very excited to share that my story "Wish, Wish" will be a part of the COMMON BONDS 2 anthology! 🎉

It's the last story I wrote as part of this summer's @clarionwest.bsky.social flash fiction groups, and somehow the most uplifting 🥹

Book haul from the Montreal Science Fiction and Fantasy Association (MONSFFA) book sale 🤩

I have been trying to hunt down the sequels to The Winter Prince since I read it last year! 🎉

I sold a story to khoreo magazine! 🥹

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Nothing to add

Deeply obsessed with Edward Gorey

Thank you so much, Patricia!

Thank you so much! ❤️

Thanks for sharing! ❤️

So excited for my piece to be featured in the latest issue of @trampset.bsky.social. Do check it out & the amazing work of fellow writers <3

China Dog by Lisobel Tang

"Do not let them into your heart, she tells me, a single child hoping for a friend, a teenager dreaming of her first boyfriend. Their love is like poison."

@lisobeltang.bsky.social's "China Dog"

Yesss let me know what you think! I was pretty blown away by the style--it took me back to writers of my childhood.

Thank *you* for writing a novel with such beautiful prose and interiority!

#BookFilmPairing rec of the day: The Bear and the Nightingale by #KatherineArden, The Bird King by @gwillow.me, and Conclave (dir. Edward Berger)

Both novels feature extremely frightening villains that, like Cardinal Lawrence, invite you to examine the relationship between faith and doubt.

I know some writers hate revising. But let me make a case for the feeling of polishing your prose like a diamond until 3am. Monastic or ecstatic? I have never found it easier to enter a flow state. It always starts with, “I’ll just give this another 15 minutes…” 💎

Thank you, I am quite confident I will! Sometimes you just know from the opening 💜 Looking forward to your other recommendations 😊

I miss her so much, but the work is on the rest of us now.
