OMG I’ve just tried to turn a page in a physical book by tapping it.

Good morning Bluesky 💙🦋💙

In case you missed it yesterday…

Something I wish more debut authors knew: the first book you write doesn't have to be the one that makes your career. 👉 Stephen King wrote 4 novels before Carrie was picked up by Doubleday and became his debut.

Of Beasts & Bones is now available! 🎉 The monsters are on the loose, and they’re coming for you! 🖤💀😱 📚 E-book | Paperback | Hardcover 📚 tinyurl.com/OfBeastsandB...

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

This is a reminder that when you read and review a book, it gives the author a warm feeling in their chest. And with indie authors, doing so can give them the strength to write another 20K words! I don't know about you, but that sounds like a great reason to read a book and leave a review.

I can't wait to find out what you thought about OB&B! Thank you for reading! 🖤

I love seeing advanced readers enjoying Of Beasts & Bones!!! 🖤📚😱 It releases on Tuesday April 28th—next week!!! 🎉 Pre-orders for ebooks are available now, and it will also be available in paperback & hardcover formats. tinyurl.com/OfBeastsandB...

Look what I found in the mailbox! What an awesome cover design. You'll definitely want to pick one of these up from @writehive.bsky.social. I have not one but two stories in this anthology! :)

A reminder: don’t wait to hear back before sending another submission. I’m trying to respond as quickly as I can, but Kaleidotrope is only open to fiction and poetry from now through April 25.

Vol. 2 available now! We built in a little more buffer than we needed so we're a little ahead of schedule after being a little behind schedule. Link in bio. ko-fi.com/sluggerficti...

The paperback proof is here! The hardcover proof arrives soon. 🖤 Of Beasts & Bones releases April 28th—Ebooks are available for pre-order! I love this cover. 😱 Are you ready to release the creatures & horrors within? I hope so. They’re ready for you. tinyurl.com/OfBeastsandB...

Creatures. Grotesqueries. Aliens. Cryptids. Ghosts. These are a few of the anomalies we’ve unearthed. Allow us to lure you in. Let us captivate & tantalize you with the unknown. But beware, you might not be ready for what you find. Or what finds you. tinyurl.com/OfBeastsandB...

The world has massive problems, but I hate it when a new downloaded book opens to page 1. Sir, I want to see the cover and the title page and the copyright year and the dedication. Don’t be telling me what I can and cannot skip when I’m the one reading the book. #BookSky 📚💙

New story dropping this Wednesday!

I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.

This is your sign to pre-order Vol. 2! ko-fi.com/sluggerficti... & link in bio.

Jake's story is a blast! We'll spoil the opening line... I found the monster bleeding on my sofa. You'll have to pick up Vol. 2 to read the rest👀

Hey folks, I've got a piece in this one--and look at that awesome cover art! Preorders open!

Pre-orders open for Vol. 2! Link in bio! Featuring work by @kayv.bsky.social @dreadwrites.bsky.social @jakeiswriting.bsky.social @carsonwinter.bsky.social @innatelywriting.bsky.social @beardedbetts.bsky.social and others!

We've received more than 2,500 submissions at Nightmare this submissions period (and we don't close until midnight). I don't know exactly how I'll get through all these subs, but I do know that if every submitter bought just one issue of the magazine, it would pay for a year of content.

I continue to be shocked by magazines and writers that continue to use generative AI. Even if you think it looks good (it doesn’t), or you’ve convinced yourself it’s ethical and non-exploitative (it isn’t), the environmental cost is so ridiculously high it should be a non-starter.

Just write the thing. What even is good? Just write the thing.

Super proud to have stories in this exciting anthology! Please give it a preorder :) www.wordsmakeart.com/collections/... @inkedingraypress.bsky.social @writehive.bsky.social PS I hear they are having a %15 off sale through Dec 2nd.

Super excited to share this one with you all is Manawaker Studios! Thanks a bunch @cbdroege.bsky.social

LOVE LOVE LOVE your story in this, Jake!!!! I can't wait for everyone to read it!

built on theft and at massive environmental cost and most importantly, numerous studies keep demonstrating that genAI tools often work a little better than by chance. how is it that we can’t expunge these slop machines out of our institutions and communities www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Q1: Since we're talking about plot, we figured it would be fun to see how you plot! Based on this nifty chart, what is your plotting/writing style alignment? #WeeknightWriters

Can't wait for this anthology edited by @robinknabel.bsky.social coming in 2026! One of the creature features included is mine! :)

Of Beasts & Bones COVER REVEAL! I can't wait for this to be in readers' hands! I'll complete edits over the next 2 weeks, then it's time to format, get blurbs, & share author info. Every story I read again during edits gets me pumped for 2026! Love creature horror? You're going to love this book.🖤

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

the cows are on the dark web

This is so frustratingly accurate.

We’re going to be closing to submissions from 12pm BST tomorrow (12th September). Not sure exactly how long for, until we get caught up. If you want to get something in, send it in before then.
