It sucks, but my surgery didn't happen. I've been rescheduled to next month, which means I now have a whole new set of problems and expenses. Details in my update below. TL;DR: I'm in a tough spot. Please consider donating, boosting, &/or buying my work. Thanks! www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...

Or how many FIYAH issues could easily double in size if we had the budget. Y'all writing HEAT. Lick your wounds. Feel your feels. Love on your story. Dust it off if you received actionable, sensible feedback. Then send that thang right back out there. You got this. You got this. You got this. 🔥♥️✊🏾

Sometimes the editor *loved* your story. But space constraints. Or it was too similar to another piece for *waves hand* reasons. Or something that had *nothing* to do with your work. I can't stress how many stories I've reluctantly passed on knowing full well they'll land in other SFF markets. +/

So....you got a rejection. It was *thee* story. The one you worked your ass off to perfect. The one your CPs swooned over. Fit the theme perfectly. No first page typos (like that one time). And it wasn't accepted. Gut punch, right? Here's some Unc Editor perspective to maybe, hopefully, help/+

So thrilled to be part of @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social next issue! FIYAH has always been my dream literary magazine, and I’m beyond honored that they loved my piece enough to feature it. Super excited to be published alongside many other talented Black writers. A huge thank you to them 🥰🔥!

Very excited to be included in this issue! I’ve held out hope to be published in Fiyah one day, and now that day is coming. “Schadenfreude” is a story involving revenge, love and ghosts. There is some healing in it being published, because it is the child of 2 stories I almost gave up on.
