TADA!!!!! your #AWP26 thursday plans have landed please note: the venue is (unfortunately) up a steep flight of stairs

Had a poem about my fun fun time with electroconvulsive therapy, which I didn't really know was still a thing before I got it, and its resulting memory loss, in @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social thanks to @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social! Read it here: fifthwheelpress.com/blog/guest-e...

My poem ‘I am queer / and so is the moon’ was published in the new fifth wheel press 2025 anthology of queer writing. Head to fifthwheelpress.com to buy the print anthology or have a read online. (This piece was first published in Plumwood Mountain.) @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social

this poem was shared on the @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social blog in conjunction with my co-editorship of a GARLAND issue on strange ekphrasis with @jamesolearypoet.bsky.social which you can check out and (if you're gay) submit to here: fifthwheelpress.com/garlandsubs

I could not be more excited and honored to begin working with fifth wheel press in a permanent capacity 💗

welcome to our two newest wheels, absolute POWER HITTERS and fwp repeat contributors @whoastanderson.bsky.social and @eleanorball.bsky.social!

the glorious-unhinged-gay-banger-per-dollar ratio on this one is very high for instance, this Jenna Jaco: fifthwheelpress.com/anth7backend... and this Elizabeth R McClellan: fifthwheelpress.com/anth7backend... (also I have two pieces in it!)

blog! subs! still! open! (they are themed tho!) duotrope.com/duosuma/subm...

Supporting poetry in print is so crucial, and I cannot recommend fifth wheel press enough for their support of the queer writing community. There are short reviews of several of the works in this on my page for the curious. tl;dr - absolutely worth it. Bonus: I'm featured in it too. :3

want to start off december right? read Sal Kang's DADDY ISSUES (with thanks to Fox Auslander for their words). -aera

Very excited to have this coming out in print! 🎉😁

another queer and trans literary landmark. get yourself a copy of this killer print anthology, @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social is kind of a big deal

beestung is doing such incredible and important things for queer writers and you bet @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social is about to put their money where their mouth is after hitting send

if you've enjoyed reading beestung for free, please keep doing that, but also please consider giving us maybe $5-$640. 🐝

if you're on the fence: the sale of these anthologies does a lot. this year, profits from 1 full-price anth sale are able to pay 3 contributors to next year's publications!

queer anthology drop! 🌈 📚

also hey, we just dropped a big ol' book for preorder fifthwheelpress.shop/products/fwp...

it's small business saturday. we're not running a giant sale because frankly, we can't afford to. buy small press books today and every day. fifthwheelpress.shop for a good start

we 💙 this book

i feel @kithbooks.bsky.social in this chili's tonight

queer anthology alert! 🌈📚

pssssssssst our 2025 print anth is available for preorder ahead of its 12/17 release 👀 fifthwheelpress.shop/products/fwp...

Still mostly not using this app, but have these two poems of mine that were published by @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social last week!

hello all semi/nonhuman entities & accomplices, i'm editing a @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social blog series on multispecies / alterhuman writing, and submissions are open now through Dec 15!!! You should submit something! Especially if you're unpublished! Don't self-reject! fifthwheelpress.com/blogsubs

I am so very honored to be a contributor in this collection. fwp puts out some of the best in queer writing and it's an incredible feeling to have my work included in this. Expect some commentary on my favorite pieces from my co-contributors soon. 🖤

it's our 6th birthday. come sparkle with us? ✨ fifthwheelpress.com/effervescent

I committed a TikTok about it because I can't sleep and I'm bored and shouted out one of my @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social poems because I happened to be wearing a related shirt. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTr1jyAY6/
