New Blog Post! Our Anthology list is final!! 📚💙 sylviawoodham.wixsite.com/home/post/he...

Ok full @wclanthology.bsky.social Anthology list of titles, coming in at 88k words! And for any #PitchDis considering sending Lemana FM at @tdpress.bsky.social your submissions, I've given you insight about working with her on the anthology submissions. 📚💙 sylviawoodham.wixsite.com/home/post/he...

Goodness, we're finally kicking into great with the new kickstarter, and moving forward with publication. It will take us time to get all of your socials, so feel free to find us first if you're on this list! 📚💙

These authors @wclanthology.bsky.social are AMAZING!! 👀🤯🌏🔥 💙📚

Acceptance emails sent! Check your inbox/ spam!

I am really happy with the preliminary final list. Such a broad variety of writers! We're so grateful for the interest and the patience of everyone waiting to hear and move forward. For this reason We're going with polished stories. Some of my favorite stories require too much editing. 💔 💙📚

Sending some rejections to submissions for anthology, I am not using form rejections. We tell the writers what would have made the story stronger for us. No idea how they received it, but at least we give them some way to maje the writing better. 📚💙

We had our first official acquisition meeting. With three briefings plus a memoir meeting we're setting up. We scheduled a chat with the agent from one. We know exactly how we need to dissect the two full manuscripts to create an editorial strategy for each. Getting ramped up & enjoying the steps

Between our weekly sessions to discuss the short stories for the anthology, and our acquisition meeting for longer works, A) we are having SO MUCH FUN b) the team has such a diverse reading list/ film list It's really a deep editorial team

We requested our first two full manuscripts. Writer sent our first to review. Celebrate the milestones

Yay! 400 followers! You are all amazing. #WritingCommunity Check out #400!! JD rocks @jdstanley.com bsky.app/profile/jdst...

One of our first acquisition opportunities (outside personal networks) came via a major agency. The book’s already Big 5–published abroad… but raises big questions: cultural authenticity or appropriation? Did they miss it? 💙📚

A note from our editor on holiday at #opatija #mswl

OMG I have a cofounder! Finally a strong, mature candidate. This Bosnian woman brings literary, writing community, diplomacy, and scrum master skills is going to rock our internal processes and start our editorial team. #WritingCommunity 📚💙

Young applicants to this position are pieces of work!

Full day of discussions with marketing team candidates. Sudanese woman in Bahrain can't move to Germany. Mexican student of Transcultural program, young digital native, loves our concept. Is definitely a lot of fun.

You don't want to miss the fifth chapter of The Story of Tegan. 📚💙🐶 sylviawoodham.wixsite.com/home/post/th...

Ohhh our website got a makeover and a new section! #Hiring 💙📚 connectionsleadant.wixsite.com/wcl-antholog...

Some weirdish vibes going around and it's not just me...

Got an application for my marketing team position. And interest expressed by someone who would fit the strategic vision well. Nice to see interest.

Latest blog post - update on an office romance gone wrong: sylviawoodham.wixsite.com/home/post/18...

Agents say they want “voice” — but most can’t handle flinty. Not loud, not cruel. Just sharp. Direct. No performance. If it sparks discomfort, good. That’s fire. That’s presence. That’s mine. #amwriting #writerlife #voice 💙📚

Now THIS is linguistic mastery I expect to see by a top writer! This woman starts with deep visual images, moves to a series of otomatapea phrases. Then repetitive the to of "so was in der Art" sentences. Demonstrating mastery of language w ZERO similes or metaphors. Freakin A! 📚💙 #WritingCommunity

It's here. 📚💙 Well the first page doesn't start with an overdose of similes like some people so that's something... My friend said very strong opening draws her right in. @emmabraslavsky.bsky.social

💙📚😍 Sylvia is a rockstar! 💫 SO excited for this book! #WomenLeadership www.amazon.de/Trailblazers...

Member of the Last Generation: Please take up less space? Me: no

Today's workshops was led by a traditional gender roles older east German woman. Overall she had good insights but this one super strange domestic example I felt like was bad to use for business. She and her husband had long days at work she's cooking dinner. He comes in the kitchen and yells about

She bought me a book. (she asked for my address slyly when I was looking for my phone) she is also in creative field - theatre. we are going to read @emmabraslavsky.bsky.social together and discuss. she also wants to take me to the opera - no complaints www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELqN...

Ran into another woman from the startup networking who is super on top of #Booktok and how excited they will be when I succeed. She wished German publishers would come together to do something similar. We'll see next year when I join their accelerator. Going to be an interesting #start-up ride 📚💙

Have a followup call with the state innovation org that ran the pitch comp Thursday to discuss concrete #support (legal, tech, mentorship, consulting) which I need more than grant tbh Received the startup packet from the German publishing association, to look through.

WOW! A crazy few weeks. Mental health crisis, during which I attended a mentor matching event, losing my phone. Been off since pup died. Lost a pitch comp round, didn't get a mentor. Today they gave me a tech prof at the business school as a mentor. Grateful for graciousness! 😭

If I am not a cat person and I think a woman's cat is cute, is it a sign I'm into her?

We'll call the new woman my life Grrrr (inside joke). We're talking since six weeks before pup died which means 2.5 months now. She's challenging me to see the world differently in ways that work out. It's clear this could get serious. My therapist is loving it

💙📚

This week was the saga of the missing phone. Thankfully a nice person found it and bring it back to me. Instead of someone who wants to steal it and hack it and sell it. ♥️

I had a story sent to me with a "complicated villain" except it was angels and demons invading earth, so it was really an alien invasion story. When I gave them an example of a complicated villain, they had a meltdown. So not opposed, if it's a better story....

We've been posting about why disabled creators are so exciting to us, but why people may think of course, it's common sense, but might need more understanding why not everyone thinks that way! Brave interview on the topic: kneebracepress.com/2023/11/28/a...

Earlier this week my grief made me lose all motivation and inspiration for my startup. But getting into #QuestPit I found that one author that brought all my motivation flooding back in about the kinds of creativity and writers I want to work with! asharya.carrd.co

Sitting outside on roof tops for sun and fresh air. Really trying to turn this week around.

Due to health issues, I will be cancelling and relaunching my #kickstarter campaign. @wclanthology.bsky.social

Instead of posting a rejection email, I wanted to post this lovely note from one of our @wclanthology.bsky.social #WhereConnectionsLead #ThreeDragonsPress #Kickstarter writers. I think you attract what you put out. I believe in getting amazing writers by giving them my best. 💙📚

Ohhh I got off the phone with my friend today who knows Mona - the most requested audiobook voice in Germany! She might come on our Kickstarter 😳⁉️💖 www.landestheater-oberpfalz.de/person/mona-...
