I wrote all about my experience at Readercon and the Shirley Jackson Awards! www.juliarios.com/why-didnt-yo...

Corey’s story is a sort of structural framework for this whole anthology!

You heard it here, folks: WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST LEAVE is a Shirley Jackson Award-winning anthology. Hugely proud of Nadia, Julia, and every single writer who made this book the spectacularly scary, dark, and stunning anthology it is!

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST LEAVE won a Shirley Jackson! What an ending for the book @omgjulia.bsky.social and I thought up in our first interaction on a defunct social media site! I can't thank our amazing contributors enough. And our publisher @ericraglin1992.bsky.social. And our Kickstarter backers!

I just donated to help protect my local public media station. Together, we can make a difference. Will you join me? wgbh.donorsupport.co/page/protect...

In May, I had a short story in Worlds of Possibility. "Gargoyle Girl" is a sweet tale with darker edges about a gargoyle girl taking a piano lesson. 🖤 Edited by Julia Rios @omgjulia.bsky.social You can buy the issue now or wait until the stories are posted for free: www.patreon.com/juliarios/sh...

It's Disability Pride month! And guess what? After "Mail-Order Magic" (the first short story I've written that involves M.E./CFS) came out, SO MANY readers contacted me saying they wished they had griffins of their own. So, with wonderful artist @papertigress.bsky.social 's help...here you go! ❤️

You definitely don’t HAVE to attend a workshop to be a great writer! It’s okay if you don’t have the money or time, or don’t get into one when you apply. You can still write! One thing workshops can help with is building your personal writing community, but you can also do that other ways. ❤️

Got a novella under 30,000 words? I'll offer detailed developmental edits on it for a flat $300 if you book with me today.

Squeezing in some promo while I stuff a sandwich in my face and do day job things: My new novella THE DEAD WITHHELD is out today! Because why wait for Tuesdays for good book news right? www.neonhemlock.com/books/the-de...
