I'm participating in #MSWL day! I love crime, mystery, thrillers, a bit of horror, a bit of literary, bookclub, and True crime! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/to...

One week from today I’ll be here

No matter where you live, if you have any capacity to volunteer, we have a lot of unpaid folks helping administer rent and skymiles donations, and we need more support.

Our latest issue is live! Link in Bio. Huge gratitude to all our amazing contributors. ❤️

This is Bruegger. He learned a highly advanced new trick, demonstrating excellent use of both free will and spatulas. 13/10 (TT: maddmaddmad)

Know I’m not the only one channeling my fury into writing right now…there’s a call just for us!

All THE BEST people here! 🥰

Will you LOOK at the time! Just five days or so left to submit to our spring issue. Open for micro flash poetry letters and art. We can’t wait to see your work. templeinacity.com/submit-writi...

We've recruited three lovely new readers but we'd like three or four more, particularly if you consider yourself underrepresented in the literary world. Not essential though. We just want good readers. Get in touch at [email protected]

It was an honor to have "DMC" chosen as a finalist for the @fracturedlit.bsky.social Flash Fiction Open, particularly to know it was read by the incredible @gwenekirby.bsky.social! And thanks, of course, to @smokelong.bsky.social where the story began last summer. fracturedlit.com/dead-mother-...

Ok

We're still open for subs until the 28th, so if you've been procrastinating, time to get cracking.

Today marks four years since Putin launched his illegal, full-scale invasion of Ukraine, bringing unimaginable destruction. Scotland stands in unwavering solidarity with the people of Ukraine and we will do all we can to support a peaceful, sovereign future for Ukraine. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦

Four years have passed since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia was supposed to win in three days. Instead, Ukraine reinvented modern warfare, built a drone industry, and can destroy a thousand Russian soldiers in a day. Ukraine can win.

Just four more days until this issue launches! 🦝 @jaimegill.bsky.social uses a tension building structure to show how life is often far worse than the movies @bmerklee.bsky.social's MC deals with a lost relationship but ends up with something considerably more intense

Been a bit non-productive and work has halted on my short story collection. Can’t seem to get my mojo back. It happens. Will spend my time reading other people’s lovely work. S’all good. 🙂

Even early afternoon would be fine....

New book. ‘Before the War’ by Fay Weldon. I read a lot of Fay Weldon decades ago, so it’s lovely to return to her writing again. Sharp, sparkling, witty prose.

Gorgeous piece by @pleomorphic2.bsky.social in a feast of gorgeousness! 💐

Loved the clever use of numbers in this story by @joycebingham.bsky.social Great read! 💕

Fabulous piece by @cake-girl.bsky.social ❤️ Have a read.
