I have a new micro up today in Twisted Tongue Press! Many thanks to EIC Brenna Ebner and all at Twisted Tongue.
Yesterday I pulled the knight of swords AGAIN.
I know how important libraries are to all of us. There’s a tiny ohio town near me that relies on its library for so much. It’s about to be shut down.
Sharing some information about how to donate if you are able. if you can’t, I would be so appreciative if you’d share this story.
This draw has now happened (see my previous tweet for the 10(!) winners) - still plenty of time to sign up though if you want to join us. First workshop on the 7th May. One every week after that at 7pm GMT (Thursdays). £10 for 1 or £50 for the lot:

“Too much moisture is a poison. Everyone knows that. Once the mold really sets in, it’s almost impossible to get rid of.”
Read this one from @alcrisp.bsky.social. It’s so good!
I'm looking for readers for both
@fracturedlit.bsky.social & @unchartedmag.bsky.social
It's a laidback way to get involved with a literary magazine, and it will help level up your writing! We ask for 2-4 hours of volunteer reading each week, but I'm flexible with vacations and other commitments.
🙂
