LOVE this one

I forgot to share in the whirlwind of starting a new job, but I have a hybrid flash thing(?) (what even is genre anyway) up on the @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social blog this week about migraines, tarot, and the way illness disiorients us from our bodies 🖤 fifthwheelpress.com/blogarchive/...

"I'll walk through the front door and everyone will cheer, like I'm a fan favorite in a sitcom." "All the Friends I Could Have Made are Having Fun Without Me" by @mackenziemcgee.bsky.social, new flash fiction out today at OKD. 📝

The Monarch Queer Literary Awards are now open for nominations until November 30, 2025! Visit our website (monarch.gay) to learn more about us and how editors can nominate work. 🦋

I’m so thrilled to have a book review of Larks by Han VanderHart in this issue! 🕊️💕

Our September newsletter is out now! This month, OKD Fiction Reader @eleanorball.bsky.social offers some encouragement and tips on getting back into a writing routine when it feels like your 2025 goals are long past attainable:

Nominations open TOMORROW!

COMING SOON 🤩 My poem “All of Our Mothers Are Dead,” a Gothic story of necromancy, grief, and mothers & daughters, will be out soon with Fantasy Magazine! I could not be more excited!

BOOK MAIL 😍 @the-ethelzine.bsky.social

Really quite disheartening and disappointing to see the Tolkien Society hosting a discussion on “AI in fantasy filmmaking” this year at Oxonmoot. It feels about as morally and philosophically opposed to Tolkien’s work as a talk on the benefits of deforestation.

hiiiii, i'm raising money for the queer liberation library, which is basically my favorite thing ever. they provide access to lgbtq books via free library cards to anyone using a u.s. address, and are esp important for queer readers trapped in reactionary areas/homes. consider giving via my link!!

“I can be persuaded to believe in miracles as long as God’s not asking.” Thrilled to have an essay about my strange relationship with faith in the latest issue of Yalobusha Review, paired with wonderful art by Jonathan Kent Adams. yr.olemiss.edu/piece/its-a-...

I’ve been trying to get better about re-sharing work from my backlist, so here is an epistolary essay about my migraines I published in Barnstorm last year. This is still one of the pieces I’m most proud of having written! www.barnstormjournal.org/barnstorm-15...
