Congrats!

Oh, hello there.

This is going to be such an amazing event!

Excited to be bringing four new @mooncitypress.bsky.social titles to the @awpwriter.org conference: a new issue of @mooncityreview.bsky.social and new books by @ifeoluwaayandele.bsky.social, @joelhans.com, and @kimmagowan.bsky.social.

"Your journey begins with… ☐ a stranger ☐ a damsel in distress ☐ a sticky situation demanding you skip town until it resolves itself ☐ all of the above..." New hex! @amadolaila.bsky.social leads us far from the land of Scantron. Please select choices carefully and let us know your results! 📝💯

Book is off being printed for real-real, book is off to reviewers, what a newly exciting and scary moment.

"Taste it, swallow it up, take in that geyser of purified air. Taste the electrolytes?... Now exhale in beat with the machine’s cycles. It’s okay if we feel a little dizzy at first." Horror meets the wellness industry in this astonishing new offering from @pegasusunder.bsky.social ! 😱💨😱

New author interview with the amazing Patricia Q. Bidar about PARDON ME FOR MOONWALKING! @patriciaqbidar.bsky.social @unsolicitedpress.bsky.social

✨LIGHT CHEMICAL SEA - Cover Reveal!✨ After years of writing tiny stories about small moments, I’m so excited to announce that my flash fiction chapbook LIGHT CHEMICAL SEA is forthcoming November 10, 2026 with @bullcitypress.com Preorders are now available: bullcitypress.com/product/ligh...

hey hey hey I have a short story collection coming out soon. I'd love to do more interviews and get copies out to reviewers. I’ll also be at AWP and have one reading lined up but open to more... 10 years ago did a reading of an apatosauruses story that made someone cry, if that helps.

Gentle reminder for anyone still building awards consideration & reading lists for awards, reviews, retrospectives or general books to read + enjoy, that both FEAST OF THE PALE LEVIATHAN as a first-time horror novel and BOXCUTTERS as a short story collection would cherish your support 🍻

‪ After 8 years of working from home and trying to parent on all the random days the girls are home, today has been different. They've finished homework and played outside and drawn many things all on their own. It's a new bliss to just be doing our own things, calmly, in the same time and place.

Literally would be impossible to be more hyped for a book 😍 So excited to read this collection by @joelhans.com!! (And I think this is a sign I need to get on socials more often, because I would've been so sad to miss the preorder!!) Order here: www.uapress.com/product/bedt...

On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had. I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!

COVER REVEAL & PREORDERS ARE OPEN! I’m thrilled to share to the cover for my forthcoming hybrid/micro CNF collection from @riverriverbooks! Thank you to @han.vanderhart & @amorakhuey for believing in my odd, sad bird & my eternal gratitude to brilliant designer, @albyfischer for this gorgeousness!

This guy is so good.

Like weirdness? Fairy tales and fabulism? Voids in the backyard? Gila monsters with uplifted intelligence? Oblations to the ocean? Bakers who speak toads and snakes? Beautiful things that fall apart? I have a short story collection with that & much more coming soon: www.uapress.com/product/bedt...

Just now passed 11k words in a new story that will eventually probably need to be 6k, tops? Turns out trying to convey a life, a reincarnation, and a second life in one short story gets kinda long-winded, oof.

Very cool new interview with Joel Hans about his upcoming collection, THE BEDTIME EMPTYING OF OUR WORLD! Coming in Feb from Moon City Press! @joelhans.com @mooncitypress.bsky.social

Thanks so much to @mynachang.bsky.social for interviewing me about my forthcoming collection, the struggle of building said collection, finding a ~similar strangeness~ in my work, and the joy of language.

It's pub day!

Here are the acknowledgements from the collection coming out next month. Just unbelievably grateful for every reader and editor at every journal that thought my stories were worth something. & a friendly preorder link if you're so inclined: www.uapress.com/product/bedt...

It's release day for my book! Thank you so much to @jacklegpress.bsky.social and @fulmerford.com

I recently gave @astrolabe.ooo a visual overhaul I'm pretty proud of. I wanted to take nothing away from the universe viz but make it more grounded and better match the aesthetics of everything we've published over the last 3(!) years. And hopefully show we're in it for the long haul.

Looking forward to it!

My debut collection of speculative short stories, winner of the 2024 @mooncitypress.bsky.social Short Fiction Award, is now available for preorder and, well, I hope you'll want one when it releases this time next month. Get it from The University of Arkansas Press: www.uapress.com/product/bedt...

Who wants something entirely wonderful for a Monday? This month I've handed over my monthly craft article to a dazzle of other writers who've provided tips and prompts for writing effective flash: prattlefogandgravelrap.substack.com/p/tips-and-p...

So thrilled to see Veronica Tucker's “The Waiting Room At The End of the Universe” selected for the 2026 edition of Best Microfiction! You can read the story, part of the Whale asterism we published this fall, here: www.astrolabe.ooo/tucker-the-w...

27. Eek I forgot to mention the excellent "Mouth, Wormhole, Window" by @joelhans.com, which I love for a lot of reasons unrelated to this but, as a lesson: If there's an interdimensional void in the backyard, I don't need any infodumping as to how it got here. www.fusionfragment.com/issue-25/

Barnes and Noble is having its preorder sale (25% off pre-orders), so it's the perfect time to preorder a very cool and good book called Every Galaxy a Circle

Took the girls on the loveliest, golden-est of hikes today.

Today I started writing a new short story for the first time in many, many months. It's such a welcome change.

The Clepsydra is live! As the year runs out, we hope you'll thieve away some time to spend with this wonderful group of prose, poetry, and artwork. astrolabe.ooo featuring... @vikkicwrites.bsky.social @binhdaur.bsky.social @susanllin.bsky.social Nnadi Samuel Lisa Dailey Didem Arslanoglu

A Monday reminder I put out two small press books of fiction this year: a dark fantasy adventure about escaping the guts of Hobbes’ Leviathan and destroying Atlantis & a short story collection with memory drugs, a werewolf hell house, small town fight club, theme park wax mannequins & more

Well if @lollardfish.bsky.social says so then I will! You can now preorder Every Galaxy a Circle. It's a collection of speculative short stories about space and monsters and memories and ghosts. I think it is pretty good and there is a loving description of pie in it.

The collection's cover is here! And a newer release date! I’m in love with this design—the watercolor texture, the way it expresses how deeply this collection inhabits the Sonoran Desert and how collage-like these stories are in their styles and sizes. Can’t wait to share the book with everyone.

Cover reveal! Introducing The Bedtime Emptying of Our World by @joelhans.com, winner of the 2024 @mooncitypress.bsky.social Moon City Short Fiction Award. Set to release February 3, 2026: Preorder link coming soon. Fabulous cover art and design by Elisabeth Anderson Art & Design.

Yesterday @astrolabe.ooo materialized a little further out into the darkness with eight amazing new pieces of prose, poetry, and art. It's our eleventh time around, which is pretty amazing to reflect on... and it'll be three years come this winter!

Thrilled to have a new little prose poem floating around over at @astrolabe.ooo (and they *happen* to be open for submissions)!

With autumn comes the careening of the Whale, bringing tales of transition, transformation, and yearning. Featuring work from: @msstefaniekirby.bsky.social, @shalinisingh.bsky.social, Eniola Abdulroqeeb Arowolo, Veronica Tucker, Eden Petri, David Capps, Emily O Liu, and Laura Walker. astrolabe.ooo

My book got its first blurb in. My first ever blurb! All those kind words on the cover of my book? Just wild. Floating on this new kind of joy.

It's August, which means release month for FEAST, my horror adventure novel about a kaiju Hobbes' Leviathan, the sea-stranded devoured souls surviving inside its belly and their rebellion against the beast + the cult that feeds it to sustain an astral Atlantis eveninghousebooks.com/product/feas...

Summer 2025 is here. We have 12 amazing pieces for you to read, share, and enjoy! https:/www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twentyfour

Grateful for this today: the girls, covered in dust, leading me on another small adventure in another beautiful place.

PRE-ORDERS OPEN NOW! Excited as all hell my debut collection is finally coming out! I hope you get it!

Each day this week, I’m sharing why I loved one of the pieces we published last week on @astrolabe.ooo as part of the Retrograde.

Once again @astrolabe.ooo gets wider and weirder and more beautiful. Grateful for everyone who's read, submitted, and published with us, or sent us little messages to say they like what we're doing and to keep going; we're going to keep going.

These are bad days. If you have anything that will help us through them, please send it along. gonelawn.net/journal/glj_...
