Woop woop 🙌🏻 🥳 #WOTF41 has won another award, this time the NYC Big Book Award 2025 in the “Anthology” category. Very proud to have a story feature in this book
I love a first contact SF story (or film), and Andrew Jackson has written a cool blog about them. He also wrote the excellent (and scary) first contact story, “Code L1”, in #WritersoftheFuture #WOTF41. If you also love first contact stories (come on, who doesn’t?!), go check them out

A thought provoking blog post about the impact of technology on social interaction by Barlow Crassmont, which inspired his #WOTF41 winning story. Both are a great read!

I’m super excited to be appearing on the Writing Community Chat Show on 6 August at 8pm (GMT). Tune in to hear about my writing journey and inspirations, and my story, “The Stench of Freedom”, which was a winner of the #writersofthefuture contest and appears in #WOTF41

Hey #booksky This is the book I was recently published in. If you have not read it yet, it is available wherever books or audiobooks are sold. And if you have read it, feel free to post an honest review. It would be greatly appreciated 😊 Thanks!

"Hope", by Fatinha Ramos: https://illustrationwest.org/59/editorial/hope/.
In the intro to #WotF41, Jody Lynn Nye advises: write something “you know is missing from the literature.”
Not quite missing, but amidst a deluge of apocalypses, there’s not nearly enough stories that are honest about the shittiness of our world and yet still find an honest light of hope.

Now that life has settled back into its normal pace, I've finally gotten round to writing a blog post about the #WritersOfTheFuture awards gala. It was such an amazing event and I had an absolute blast! Take a look at some of the photos and see for yourself. #WOTF41 #writingcommunity
It's been a busy few weeks promoting the launch of #WOTF41 and I've been doing more media interviews and events than I ever thought (I thought I would do none, ever 😂). It was all good fun, though I was a little nervous to be on TV (and it feels weird to say that I was on TV!) #writingcommunity 🪐📚
Totally forgot to post this earlier because I was super busy all day, but I'm going to be doing a virtual event on Saturday @ 3:00PM MT (4:00 here) with all these awesome people! Thanks to Book Bungalow for hosting us!

I had a great time on The Authors Quill podcast with Joe Montaldo, where we talked about the inspiration for my #WritersoftheFuture story and my experience in Hollywood among other stuff. I’m on for the second hour after my #WOTF41 buddy @sethatwaterjr.bsky.social if you wanted to check it out

In my story "A World of Repetitions," which is featured in Writers of the Future Volume 41, the whole world is trapped in a 34 hour time loop ⏳ Buy the book to read it and a dozen other fantastic sci-fi and fantasy stories!

The day after the gala, much like today after the book launch for #WOTF41, was more relaxed, but we still had workshops on marketing, interviews, conventions and elevator pitches. Then, sadly, it was our last evening together before we all headed back to reality.
