Fred Haise was shown as being caught off guard by the manual bur in Apollo 13 when, in reality, he'd called it just over two hours after the explosion. There were so many things he called SO far in advance of it becoming an issue! youtube.com/shorts/Wi-e0...

So excited to share a cover reveal for Terrestrial, out May 2026! I've admired Angelo's book covers for other Malarkey books and I'm thrilled it was my turn to need one. I love what he designed for it.

So very proud of this book. I'd truly appreciate your support! (And also recommend you order directly from @stanchion.bsky.social) 💚

Adam Vitcavage at @debutiful.bsky.social calls I Am the Ghost Here a contender for best story collection of the decade. It’s such an honor to make the Debutiful most anticipated list.

MIDLVLMAG issue no. 8 theme - Reverse Evaluation. Reverse Evaluation is a reckoning, a reverie, a clarion call. Authority is tenuous at best, its control contingent on our willingness to cower and prostrate. There is strength in unity, hope for the hopeless, power for the powerless.

Published quite fittingly on the New Year’s eve where we wish for plenty of money and free shit, my short story “Free Shit” reckons with the idea that nothing is ever truly free. Out now in the last issue of The Journal (@osuthejournal). thejournalmag.org/archives/24812 #fiction

Hey, #Writers. Some great reflections in @ryantpozzi.bsky.social's Life on the Midlist this week. For example: "Many of us say to ourselves, 'I must not be this,' when the truth is no weightier than, 'I don’t know how to do this yet.'" Subscribe: www.ryantpozzi.com/midlist.

Hey, #WritingCommunity, please take note. Subs open soon!

Had a writing morning but not a typing morning. It was more of a looking-out-the-window writing morning. That still counts, right? #AmWriting #AmArguablyWriting

Enjoyed this interview! 🙂 litmagnews.substack.com/p/i-love-new...

I'll be reading at this!

I saw a quote I both love and deeply relate to in @willwilloughby.bsky.social's newsletter. “If I knew where songs came from, I would go there more often." -Leonard Cohen I'm a clock in every day writer but often I'm the only one who shows up. The days when "the muse" shows up, too, are magical.

This is, perhaps, strange, but even after writing it, submitting it, and seeing it published, I'm not sure quite how I feel about this piece of short fiction. What's your take? Nonetheless, my thanks to @rfpress.bsky.social for giving it a home. ❤️ roifaineantarchive.wixsite.com/rf-arc-hive/...

Will's writing process reflections, in particular, are well worth your time. If you're tired of me pitching you on Life on the Midlist, sign up for his Updates and Reflections instead. I'll wait.

Hey #WritingCommunity, I send out an occasional informal newsletter where I give updates on my work and reflect on the writing process. It’s delightful. Or at least it’s positive, which is nothing to sneeze at. If anybody’s interested, sign up on my site: www.willwilloughby.com

The idea for “Mr. Palm Beach” came from a nightmare. Can you get a good story from a bad dream? Read it and let me know! pitheadchapel.com/mr-palm-beach/ #AmWriting #ShortStories @pitheadchapel.bsky.social

This is a fantastic collection—not surprised it’s listed. 💯

I look forward to this every week. If any of you #writers feel like making a questionable decision today, here’s your chance!

So delighted to have a flash story in this tremendous issue of @pitheadchapel.bsky.social! And to share a masthead with @willwilloughby.bsky.social, a fellow Maine writer!

Heads up managers. It's time to revisit an old friend. We invite you to reread Company Policy, issue no.1 from MIDLVLMAG. midlvlmag.com/issues/compa... Literature matters. So do you.

“Mostly, though, he talked about her, talked about how much he’ll miss her, how much she meant to him. All of it’s true. Or at least true enough.” @willwilloughby.bsky.social for @pitheadchapel.bsky.social pitheadchapel.com/mr-palm-beach/

“Mr. Palm Beach” may be my weirdest story yet, but it’s a good kind of weird, I promise. What do you think? Thanks to @kimmagowan.bsky.social and everyone else at @pitheadchapel.bsky.social for giving it a great home! #AmWriting #ShortStories #MagicalRealism pitheadchapel.com/mr-palm-beach/
