Like I said, I'm still reading, but these are at the tippy top of my brain going into November. I'll post more as the months pass. And I'd also like to drop a note about one of my own stories, "Six People to Revise You," from @uncannymagazine.bsky.social www.uncannymagazine.com/article/six-...

Hey #writers, what is your ideal reader reaction to your work? What do you want them to think, feel, learn, discover? And is that for one single piece, or all of your writing?

Just over two weeks left (!!!) to get your applications in for our first ever Wholehearted Writers Week. Come bring your whole self to write, learn, and build community just in time to kick off the new year. wholeheartedwriters.weebly.com

The creators behind Wholehearted Writers Week, @eliotedits.bsky.social, @eacrawley.bsky.social, @literarylaura.bsky.social and Beth Wright will be speaking about some of the spookiest parts of #writing: How do you revise and what happens when the draft is done? wholeheartedwriters.weebly.com

Just finishing up proof reading Reality Check today and thought it might be a good time to share the dedication. It’s also the last day you can get Reality Check for twenty five percenties less than usual at big @waterstones.bsky.social with their OCTOBER25 dealio.

Hey, friends new and old! This seems like a good time to let you know about / remind you of my editor starter packs, and for you to let me know if you'd like to be in one of 'em. There are two general editor starter packs. Here's the first: go.bsky.app/2kVHe2i 🧵

So many people who love to write, who want to learn more, who want to quietly share their excitements and frustrations - just don't. They think they don't qualify as a #writer. But no one gets to determine that but you. What 'rules' about #writing have you found to be... less than true?

Any dictionary can be a pocket dictionary with big enough pants.

Tadaa, here’s the cover for my next romcom, Reality Check out April 9th (and available to preorder now!) On reality tv, what’s behind the scenes will always filter through. It’s f/f, lovers to enemies to lovers, chaotic nonsense with hot disabled babes. 👰🏼‍♀️💓📚🎥✨
