My last publication of 2025. Rom-coms are not my usual style, but I'm glad this found a home! micromancemagazine.substack.com/p/ready-for-...

Excited to have my satire, Anarchists Unite, published at Writer’s Resist! www.writersresist.com/2025/12/24/a...

My little story, Dreams of Escape, has been published on 101 words! 101words.org/dreams-of-es...

300 submissions! When you’re doing so many The Write Track definitely helps as it matches my writing to markets with matching word count and genre. It knows where I’ve submitted and when I’m in a cool off period so misses those out. Next year I might go for 365!

I could be disappointed by rejection, but instead I've used my app- The Write Track (thewritetrack.co.uk) - to find more places to submit to. Once I checked their guidelines, I submitted. It now tracks everything for me. I just search and submit! Try it out for 5 days for free.

Went to see Austentatious this evening- Jane Austen style improvised comedy is very entertaining!
