I have a story all ready to submit, except it doesn't have a FREAKING TITLE

Happy World Art Day! Our rec lists tend to be a bit book-centric, so we thought this’d be a great chance to share some artists and artworks we love. You can check out the list of queer artworks we loved, and their artists, here: duckprintspress.com/2026/04/15/q...

I just got my first rewrite+resubmit request! 🥳🪅What a great feeling that someone liked my story to send provide editorial feedback AND want to read it again?? Who is not a critique partner??

when u hit the story flow state and write 5k in 3 hours ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗᕕ( ᐕ )ᕗ

!!! Looking to back two amazing queer anthologies? Look no further!

whoever invented the synopsis... i just want a quick word.

💜🐦‍⬛💜

Home Constellations is officially out! This fabulous scifi anthology by @cbdroege.bsky.social explores queer family and kinship futures. You can read my story (in which an escaped hypercat and retired assassin-bot find a baby on their doorstep)& a plethora of amazing others, now! payhip.com/b/pOQEs

It's out!! And it has a GORGEOUS cover!! If you want to read about the escaped hypercat and retired assassin-droid who find a baby on their doorstep, plus a ton of other amazing stories of queer kinship, grab Home Constellations today!

HOORAY - I just ordered mine!! I've been chomping at the bit to get my hands on this amazing book :D

hivemind where are the short story markets for queer historical fiction. where are they. 😭

I don't know why it took me until my third major project to hop on the Query Tracker train, but old me could have saved a lot of time and spreadsheet-making 😑

I just read and absolutely loved "asdfghjklkjhgfdsa" by @erinrcullen.bsky.social, published in @perseidprophecies.bsky.social Issue 7! This story is a clever, thoughtful take on AI and the humans who speak to them. It's free to read, and I highly suggest doing so! perseidprophecies.ca/back-issues/

Cowichan Tribes and the Government of Canada unveiled a new plaque in Duncan on Thursday, honouring the historical significance of Cowichan sweaters and Coast Salish Knitters.

:OOO

An interaction I had a few times at #AWP26: Lit mag: What do you write? Me: Speculative fiction! Lit mag: Oh, we accept that! We just love✒️literary✒️ speculative fiction. Me: ...Right.😑

I was so excited to stumble upon Iskanchi Press' booth almost as soon as I got to @AWP26! I picked up Barzakh by Moussa Ould Ebnou; I can't wait to read it.

Here at Plott Hound Magazine, we want stories that really dig deep into what it’s like to be an animal and also teach us what it means to be human. If you write scifi, fantasy, or speculative horror and have a piece that fits our vision, consider sending it our way! We close in 10 days.

Currently on the "agonizing/checking social media phase" once more... unfair that these stages seem to be mandatory.

Oh my goodness... the submission call of my literal dreams 😍🏹🌳💰

Begging people to back this anthology kickstarter (3k needed and 4 days left!!!) because never mind the story I submitted, if I don't get this paper doll I'm gonna lose it for real.

Reading through recent @100footcrow.bsky.social stories this morning, and I just loved "I, Roomba" by @liamjhogan.bsky.social! Give it a read, it's only 100 words and it'll make you smile! 100footcrow.com/i-roomba/

It will be an actual tragedy if WHAT ELEGANT STARS doesn't get funded. Even if you've already backed the book, please share!! 9 days to go and $4,500 still needed to make this incredible fashion space opera anthology a reality!

Just backed Neon Hemlock's amazing new anthology! A copy of the paperback + ebook is only $22 FYI ... get on it!

Thank you for reviewing False Equivalencies! I'm so excited you chose it to review and enjoyed it. And what a great challenge to read 1 story per day all year 🦾

We have 12 days to go on our crowdfund for WHAT ELEGANT STARS and still need to raise about $7k. We've just added a reward "add-on" for a short story critique with editor dave ring if that would be of interest. We also still have two Benefactor Rewards at $1k that would be incredibly impactful.

Snow days are so powerful. I drafted a 6,000 word short story yesterday and wrote it today. ✒️❄️✒️

www.32auctions.com/publishingfo... They've raised 95.5% of their goal, and there's still time to bid.

Crazy how you'll sit down and try to think of a story and feel like you never ever will, and then you make a random list of concepts such as"Beowulf weregilds" and "7-dimensional weaving," and then you suddenly think of a story that has nothing to do with any of that at all.

Running out of time for people to apply for this! If you're a fanfiction author who's wanted to start publishing your original work, we'd love to see your application! for the curious, we've received new-to-press apps: 43 published-with-us-before apps: 20

I'm so charmed by this new anthology - Tales from Space Bar. It reminds me of overheard conversations in The Crossings in @diane.dianeduane.com's Young Wizards series😁 www.spacebarpittsburgh.com/tales-from-s...

I HAVE FINISHED MY FINAL MANUSCRIPT DRAFT 🥳🤸🙏🎈

What an incredible new initiative!!! This will be so helpful.

Every novel in the past five years has the same ending: all the characters turn out to be aspects of the same person, who is in turn a sliver of the subconsciousness of a cosmic mollusk. ENOUGH. Not every novel needs the gestalt cosmic mollusk ending. I'm sick of the obligatory dreamslimetrail.

Our 10-year-old journal of creative writing on environmental justice will reopen to submissions, including poetry, creative nonfiction, art, short stories AND novella-length fiction, on February 1st.

Counterweight is the book that got me into translated SFF last year - what a great discussion by Nat Harrington!

SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN, BABY Lilac Peril Issue 02: IDOLS Send work to [email protected] until February 7 Expected pub: late 2026

Are you a fanfiction author? Have you been wanting to break into publishing your original fiction? We're looking for contributors to BEYOND THE GALACTIC TIDE, our next anthology. What's it about? TL:DR... ACE IN SPACE! For the long version, visit our website: duckprintspress.com/beyond-the-g... 🌈📚

Kind of crazy that I can just sit down at my desk with a pot of tea, tell my brain to think of a story, agonize for 30 mins while I look over everything I've ever written, check social media, decide to work on something else, agonize some more, and then a story miraculously appears in my brain. 🤷

🚨 Applications for the PSLA Emerging Writers Scholarship are now open! 🚨 We'll only be accepting the first 125 applications, so get yours in as soon as possible. Here's how: form.jotform.com/202746305642...

At my exclusive writing retreat (aka on the train). 5 submissions/pitches to work on. Let's do this.🚅✒️🚅✒️🚅

REMINDER to send your 2025 original publications of queer speculative short stories (science fiction, fantasy, horror, anything odd and unusual) to We're Here 2025 for consideration - I am the guest editor this year, with the always awesome @cypayseur.bsky.social!! www.neonhemlock.com/were-here

I think you should get weirder and freakier about their writing next year. Expel the thoughts of "is this too much? too strange? too out there?" fuck it, we ball. Break the ancient seal cast upon ye. Unleash the inner esoteric thing within clawing, begging to wreak creative havoc.

Short fiction submissions for the Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast open up tomorrow! (Or already, if you're on the other side of the International Date Line.) Here's hoping you all make it very difficult for me to pick just four stories to publish! mail.alpennia.com/lhmp/essays/...
