The poem I had written in memory of my friend's wife, is out today, the day when I heard about his passing away. Rest in peace, Mohsen Ahmadipour. May you and Roja be reunited. theindianapolisreview.com/flight-ps752/ #writingcommunity

So bitter-sweet to have this poem out today. It was published with the poem I had written in memory of a friend, and we learned today that her husband's passed away. To all the lives lost... #writingcommunity theindianapolisreview.com/in-the-palm-...

Is social media doing anything for y’all? It feels like w everyone being scattered all over, a pm/email/call/in-person meeting achieves more… RIP literary twit t er.

Did not expect to see my own name when I was randomly googling successful flash fiction writers, all thanks to this kind review: #flashfictionauthors #flashfiction #writingcommunity medium.com/@MandiraPatt...

So grateful to work with such engaged and thoughtful participants in the Guerilla Opera Libretto Labs Writers' Collective. GO (and I) will be running two summer sessions this year, followed by another 9-onth Collective--feel free to ask me if you have any questions!

I put a bunch of resources on my website. Some of it was originally put together by Colette Sartor. Enjoy! #writingcommunity sarvinparviz.com/resources/

Authors, I’m organizing a poetry night and we’ll be gathering donations. We want the money to support authors, is there a nonprofit or charity you’d recommend? #writingcommunity

Excited to announce that my micro “What I Can Tell You Now” will be published in the next issue of Ghost Parachute and included in their forthcoming print anthology (available at AWP!). Thank you @brettpribble.bsky.social and team!

My novella in verse PROTECTRESS is about what happens if Medusa survives to the present day, comes out as herself, & has to battle Athena's victim-blaming & rape culture. Lots of myth/history Easter eggs & goodies, plus the Fates, Duse's sisters, & a dragon who acts like a Newfie. a.co/d/6LVAGgm

Would anyone be interested in collaborating with me on archiving notes from #AWP26 to share what we’ve learned and make it accessible? I’m struggling to think of a platform that can benefit all for the archiving. Feel free to pm me of you’re on board. #writingcommunity #flashfictionauthors

Can we create a hashtag thread or something for all we learn at AWP to make it accessible to those who can’t attend? #AWP2026 #Writingcommunity

The joy I get from connecting people! I hope this can be my job.

Surreal moment: one of my pieces got accepted by a top-tier magazine and I only remembered the piece after I read it. I had written it in such state of urgency that I had forgotten about it and honestly, might have never remembered or submitted it again… in shock… #writingcommunity

Today I started an initiative to connect past & current MFA grad students of SIUC through a letter series so that the alumni can share their knowledge and advice. One of our greatest assets as writers is the literary community we build. Every school needs a letter series like this #writingcommunity

Wrote three poems in one day, and a complete song cycle in another. when it rains, it pours!

I’ve been thinking a lot about poem titles lately, so here’s an essay I wrote about it for @chillsubs.bsky.social in 2022, complete with advice from @toddedillard.bsky.social @demisty.bsky.social and the rest of literary twitter (rip) www.chillsubs.com/blog/accordi...

friendly neighborhood barred attorney telling you to never put your ID on your phone

Is the #writingcommunity active on Bluesky or Mastodon or Substack or...? In the old twitter days, despite low engagement, I remember the community would answer questions. I don't get that same engagement here. Am I missing something or is the crowd somewhere else? #flashfictionauthors

I'm beyond thrilled and simply stupefied to have my collection picked as the winner! Thank you so much to @sfwp.bsky.social for their Literary Awards Program and to the fabulous @deeshaphilyaw.bsky.social for picking my manuscript!🌷🙏🙏🌷

@kleonardphd.bsky.social @sagetyrtle.bsky.social @taracampbell.bsky.social You all inspire me, I love your works, your curiosity, concern and care for communities

Happy news!

Does any of you teach advanced essay writing? #writingcommunity

Dear #writingcommunity speak up! Join voices of freedom in Iran by sharing the news, checking in on your Iranian and Persian colleagues, acknowledging the pain and here are some other ways to help:

If you want to help Iranians in diaspora, the first step is acknowledgment. We enter a gathering (w colleagues, classmates, friends) and no one even ACKNOWLEDGES the elephant in the room. Say: It must be hard.This very first step gives us hope that there is still humanity left in this world #Iran

Which magazines accept (up to 1000 words) nonfiction in response to the news? I know Rattle does that for poetry. #writingcommunity

I haven’t heard from my mother with whom I speak EVERY DAY for 3 days while a massacre is happening in Iran with the internet being shut down. #flashfictionauthors #flashfiction #ALLEYESONIRAN #Iran #JoinIran

We haven’t heard from our loved ones for 3 days, some of whom we haven’t seen for years due to visa restrictions and difficulties. Be our voice. #ALLEYESONIRAN #Iran #joiniran #lastwords #writingcommunity

Story for Iran #Iran #ALLEYESONIRAN #writingcommunity #JoinIran

#writingcommunity I heard from my mother 3 days ago, the mother with whom I speak every day. Be our voice, be on the side of brave peuple in Iran who have chosen life, hope, freedom and change. In the words of Nazim Hikmat « I mean living must be your whole occupation. Living is no laughing matter«

از‌همه ی ایرانی های خارج ایران می خوام اسکرین شات اخرین پیام هایی که به عزیزانشون دادن رو بفرستن. باشه که دنیا باهامون همراهی کنه. I ask all Iranians abroad to post the screen shot of their latest messages to family in Iran. #JOINIRAN #ALLEYESONIRAN

a great reminder and very helpful suggestions. Looking forward to a year of less social media and more in-person interactions #writingcommunity

80 million people have lost access to internet, to their families in and out of #Iran. we are entering the third day of protests and loss of internet in Iran

I wish all magazines would have a box where you could write your piece (like Rattle) or would accept other file versions (like PdF, not all do). I don’t want to subscribe to microsoft word :’)

Second day of internet shut down in Iran and no news from family

Please join us in congratulating our Best Small Fictions 2026 nominees: @saipradhan.bsky.social, @francinewitte.bsky.social, @laurabesley.bsky.social @writesofkathryn.bsky.social and @happilander.bsky.social 😍 Read their stories here: literarynamjooning.wixsite.com/litnam/proje... #namjooning

DRUM ROLL!!!! 🥁🥁🥁 It gives me great pleasure to announce the SPARKLING longlist for the Welkin Writing Prize 2026. Congratulations to all the writers on this list. And commiserations to everyone else. The standard was incredibly high: www.mattkendrick.co.uk/welkin-prize...

There is turmoil in Iran again. I haven’t been able to call family and loved ones because internet is down or too slow. Words escape me as this nightmare repeats itself: you wake up to endless heartbreaking news. So I say: fracturedlit.com/true-story-1...

Submissions to our annual summer flash fiction series are now open!

Anyone feeling stuck in their writing? Can I highly recommend this collage sub call? I’ve written 4 collabs and 4 individual pieces from this amazing archive @the-engine-idling.bsky.social have 🔥🔥🔥

My very first letter to those recovering from burnout. It would be a big encouragement for starting this project if you repost this so anyone who might find light in these letters, can find it. #writingcommunity #flashfictionauthors substack.com/profile/6172...

If I start a substack about creative burnout, would any of you be interested? 👀🤚🏻 #writingcommunity

Tell me books that you’ll reread, or one book that will stay with you for a long time #writingcommunity
