Oh, hi! It's me! Super excited to see this piece hit the presses. Even more glad to be included among the killer lineup in issue 49!

In Pulp Literature Issue 49, Benny Lawrence explores mythic family histories in ‘Maybe We Once Were Birds’. Read an excerpt of this story today on the blog: pulpliterature.com/maybe-we-onc... @gaydragonrobot.bsky.social

My pandemic gothic novella SWEETSIDE MOTEL is now out in the world from @interstellarflight.bsky.social! Perfect for serving to the stranded traveller who has been forced to quarantine in your home.

This is awesome! Does it count if the #zombies are heard and never seen? Zombies as ambience instead of a focal point? I sold a zombie story last year (after 27 rejections) that includes them as a pivotal part of the plot, but they never get an explanation or appear on the page. #WritingCommunity

Join us at Café Duello (426 W Hastings St) in Vancouver on Sunday, February 22nd from 1:30-3:30pm to launch Pulp Literature Issue 49, and to celebrate past and future stories! pulpliterature.com/the-pulp-lit...

I'm hearing that some people are under the impression that we are a bluesky only event, but we are on both Bluesky and X for your pitching convenience. While there are a few bluesky only events that are amazing & well worth pitching, we are dual platform & you are welcome to pitch one or both.

Romance writers are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Really glad I get to hang with them all weekend at @trw-writes.bsky.social Northern Hearts retreat. #WritingCommunity #RomanceWriters

Hey #BluePit creatives! Not here to pitch (just yet), but am here to support. Is it more helpful to like or repost? #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Oof, it's only my 1.5st pitch event (and I'm still in Draft Land), but from what I've seen... Hold no expectations. Have a good time. Make a connection. It's all valuable in the grand scheme of writing. #BluePitHype #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Meg loves summer, camp days, ample sunshine, shorts, lake swimming, and her favourite Jewish holidays (Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, and Hanukkah). Zack loves the outdoors, a good meal shared with great friends, dancing (sshh!), and Hanukkah/winter holiday traditions. #BluePitHype #WritingCommunity

Meg's afraid of being in the spotlight, getting left behind, and the Nutcracker. Zack's afraid of being a disappointment, feeling vulnerable, and mirrors in the dark. #BluePitHype #WritingCommunity

Hm, well, FMC Megan is proud to be assistant camp director of her childhood summer camp, and proud of her staff for bringing so much joy to campers every summer. MMC Zack is proud to finally take on his first venture project as an independent firm. #BluePitHype #WritingCommunity

Whew, one day behind, but that's cool, right? 👋 Name's Lauren. I write a range of things, mostly genre of some kind. Cut my teeth on short fiction, but got a contemporary romance novel in the works. From 🇨🇦, love fries, currently reading Spinning Silver. #bluepithype #writesky #writingcommunity

My first short fiction pub in more than a decade is out in Canadian journal Agnes and True. Woohoo! "It’s time for the third glass of wine, and Bubbie is asleep."

In my youth as a fledgling writer-type, I used to thinkandthinkandthink before tornado-ing a first draft that I'd copy edit for typos. Then, I had the hubris to send it off to lit mags, thinking it was a complete work. How silly our younger selves can be, amirite? #amwriting #amediting
