Had a few messages after the contraction of another platform, so just to clarify, Pipeline is: - independently owned and not under the umbrella of the corporation consolidating their services 🏴‍☠️ - not going anywhere any time soon (we’re sorry or you’re welcome) 🦊 Onward. scriptpipeline.com

This week THE INITIATES was featured in several national book lists and is a best-seller on Amazon. Thank you to everyone who purchased a copy or provided a blurb or early review. Your support is greatly appreciated. amazon.com/Initiates-Ry...

Thrilled that my new (weird) short story, "Water to Water, Sea to Sea," is out today with the amazing @pipelineartists.bsky.social! Thanks to @spmjm.bsky.social and @jeannevb.bsky.social! You'll never think of the sea lamprey the same way again. #flashfiction pipelineartists.com/water-to-wat...

Dear #Booksky I’ve been receiving this newsletter for a couple of years and I find Kate’s advice and style to be one of the best snapshots of the publishing industry available. It is the best $5 I spend monthly.

Saturday marks the start of our 26th year. To the writers we’ve discovered, to the industry we’ve had the chance to support, and—most importantly—to those who have championed our efforts in building new bridges across Hollywood and beyond: 25 years was only the first act. 🥂 🦊 scriptpipeline.com

RELEASED: the 5th Book Pipeline winner/finalist published since 2022. “Ring” by Michelle Lerner. Incredibly excited for this one. And just as excited for the FOUR MORE Pipeline authors releasing this year, 2026, and (we just found out) 2027! 🥳🍾📖 amazon.com/Ring-Novel-Mic…

Wild short story comin in hot….

We’ve had overwhelmingly positive feedback on our Symposium events. The reasons: 🗣️ fantastic, professional hosts ✅ options for low-cost and free sessions 🏛️ grounded topics many other "webinars" (hard yawn) don't tend to cover--but should Stream over 100 events: symposium.pipelineartists.com

Do you know how much chaos you thrive in? Where are you on the clutter-tidiness continuum? As Dahlia Lithwick so succinctly asked, are you a Chaos Muppet or an Order Muppet? More insight here from @amcarley.bsky.social.
