Special thanks to our guest judge Sam Kearns and @coldopenstories.bsky.social
Somehow I missed that @coldopenstories.bsky.social gave another one of my fast fiction stories the audio treatment but better late than never! Simon does an amazing job at bringing Staur and Nac’caleth to life.

My very first original (and not fanfic) story, The Sun Is A Dish Best Served Cold has been audiobook-ified by the marvelous Colyn of @coldopenstories.bsky.social and a team of talented voice actors! I'd like to tag them all, but I only have @stephswanquills.bsky.social on my list.
#Booksky
SO... What social platform do you prefer for connecting with other voice actors? Who should WE collaborate with? Maybe even drop a link to work you’re proud of.
Just happy to be back.
In 2025, our small publishing team focused on helping authors find their voice, mentoring and publishing 80+ stories.
In 2026, we’re giving those voices a new medium, returning to audiobook and full-cast drama productions.
But I'll admit... the landscape’s shifted...
Final call ✨
Today’s the last day to submit your manuscript. If you’re a new or aspiring author with an original piece, I’m here to help you workshop it, refine it, and get it published.
Don’t sit on it - send it in and let’s do something great in 2026!
