Send us something to READ!!

Hi Bluesky! 🦋👋 We're Foglifter Press & Journal, a San Francisco based small press and literary journal by and for queer writers. We accept #poetry, #nonfiction, #fiction, and hybrid works during our biannual submission periods starting in May and September—and visual #art & media all year round. 🌈

Thank you so much to New Ohio Review, especially Bridget Rexhausen, for a lovely, generous, and insightful review of Hemicrania! What a gift to have your words read and considered so deeply. Love that it's out just in time for #migraineawareness month this June. 🤩 newohioreview.org/2025/06/01/p...

Surprisingly, still room for fiction subs before we hit our cap. A few days left, and about 120 more fiction subs to go. A whole lot of room for poetry and NF, deadlines are 6/8 & 6/15 respectively barrelhouse.submittable.com/submit

Fabulists & futurists & fantasy writers, oh my! Don't miss out on the 2025 Autumn Online Workshop, where the strange, the weird, and the unknown are all welcome. Apply here: tinhouse.com/workshop/aut...

I am what you protected, the mechanism begin in utero, but I am also what I make myself... @mspicone.bsky.social, this tenuous atmosphere

For adoptees, vindication, but also plenty more heartache and questions to come. I know very little about my birth family or circumstances (basically around 100 words)...how easy to leave out nuance or in many cases straight up invent fiction

Come by our booth at #AWP25! I hear some amazing authors will be there!

ALL THE DEAD WE HAVE TO BURY had its official book launch Friday night! Now it's time to gear up for #AWP @awpwriter.bsky.social. If you would like a copy before then, here's the link: a.co/d/bcyUl2h, or order through your local book store!

The program is set for the @barrelhouse.bsky.social conference in DC on 4/12/25 and there's something for everyone: craft workshops & panels on fiction, nonfiction, poetry, publishing, writing life (and how to manage it in All This Bullshit). Hope to see you there! www.barrelhousemag.com/conference

(Only took me 5x to get this right 🤷🏻‍♂️) 💢Friday 2/28 8pm ET 💢 60 minutes of readings and flash fiction talk with @amymarques.bsky.social @lumchanmfa.bsky.social @kimsrogers.bsky.social Hosted by @chestnutreview.bsky.social @mspicone.bsky.social!!! Registration Link ➡️ forms.gle/VFivbPHzEfqq...

THANK YOU to everyone who made this orange #1 banner possible! Never would have thought that possible. Feeling extremely grateful today. @chestnutreview.bsky.social

❗️❗️❗️COVER REVEAL❗️❗️❗️ ALL THE DEAD WE HAVE YET TO BURY My debut chapbook of flash fiction with @ChestnutReview has a cover, and I love it! We will be doing a book launch on zoom to celebrate. Details coming soon.

We're looking for a social media manager to manage our social media accounts! Please note that as this is a leadership position, we're primarily interested in people who identify as immigrants or members of a diaspora for this position! Deadline: March 3. Details: www.khoreomag.com/join-our-team/

We at The Chestnut Review are trying to raise $1,000 to subsidize a spot in our 2025 retreat, which will be held in Riga, Latvia. While a writing retreat can be transformative, it's also cost prohibitive for many. Please consider donating if you can: fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/chestnut-rev...

I put this issue in InDesign at 6am during a flight delay at an airport bar over a pity ice water an employee came and poured me. 📖 there's some good writing in here all!

I haven't published much in the past year; here's my Louisa Solano Memorial Emerging Poet prizewinning poem, work in Midway and Poetry Online & art I painted based on colors/patterns from the Seoul subway map. salamandermag.org/maleficent/ poetry.onl/read/mar-s-p midwayjournal.com/self-ghost-i...

I'll always be grateful for how This Tenuous Atmosphere was treated at Conium and in edits, production, through to now. Submit your weird fiction!

Obligatory attention shot so that I'm not just a postless profile, and happy one year to This Tenuous Atmosphere 🚀
