#CNF (prev pub '22 International Amy MacRae Award for Memoir) dear to my heart—a challenge to write, it reflects on how past assaults/interference shaped me as a parent, & speaks to a fear too many women carry. Huge thanks to @bulbculture.bsky.social for repub. Reads & reshares greatly appreciated!

Thanks for sharing my work from your fabulous flash405 competition, @expositionreview.bsky.social ! Consider entering this comp, flash writing friends! New themes and judge each round.

Hey #amwriting pals! Beyond my #CNF #fiction #flash I love to create #fantasy tales for kids. Excited to announced @chicken_press (Tw/X) acquired my MG Indigenous-Inspired Fantasy Novel "Habitan" release summer 2025. Need #litmag #kidlit friend reviewers! www.chickenhousepress.ca/press/chicke...

Hey #CNF #amwriting friends! Looking for recs for #litmag that accepts previously pub'd CNF--have a fav raw piece (was finalist 8 comps) eventually pub'd in print anthology 2yr ago, but basically no one read it given print. Would love to find a 2nd home online. Suggestions?

This CNF by Cheryl Skory Suma is a tear jerker. 😭

Each anniversary of the day mom ended her life, I share my #CNF below. Our relationship was challenged at best, toxic & abusive at worst, yet there was love waiting in the wings. It's my hope this piece may help others suffering similarly to find clarity/healing. reckonreview.com/today-your-s...

Always an honour to make the shortlist at Blank Spaces Magazine for their flash image prompt contest! Best of luck to the final 5. Perhaps my weird little story will find a home: "The Strangers I Have Known, the Wine Said." www.blankspaces.ca/news/five-ma...

As I navigate my 23yr marital separation I’m thankful for my children (20&22). They’re happy, positive & resilient due to both our roles in their upbringing. Despite our differences, they thrived. I’m hopeful, not sad (but bit nervous to be on my own given my TBI & health issues)

Delighted to have my work selected the winner! Thank you to the Editorial team at Pulp Literature and to judge Finnian Burnett --I've had so little time to write or sub this year as I navigate some big life changes, so they made my summer with this publication news!

Surprised & delighted my little experimental flash "The Art of Tear Eating & Other Non-Predatory Behaviours" won @pulpliterature.bsky.social's 2024 Hummingbird Prize! Thanks to judge Finnian Burnett for her kind comments on this piece. Read in Issue 45, Winter2025 pulpliterature.com/congratulati...

Thrilled to advance to the shortlist @pulpliterature.bsky.social for their 2024 flash fiction Hummingbird comp! Results tomorrow, best of luck to all those on shortlist.

When you bravely think you wrote the perfect piece for a theme comp, then you wait and wait for results…

As I begin to navigate my divorce, the irony of my life’s synchrony to several of my past fiction works hits hard. Subconscious foreshadowing? Example below remains one of my fav, rawest works, very proud of this one. Appreciate a read/comments. www.bulbculturecollective.com/read/back-to...

Grateful to bsky.app/profile/bulb... for sharing the process behind my work they pub'd www.bulbculturecollective.com/read/back-to... . 1 of my fav #fiction works I've written as it dips into my life, appreciate a read of the piece or interview below. www.bulbculturecollective.com/shine-a-ligh...

Always a joy to have my #fiction work in such good company. My piece is part of this comp's 8 shortlisted stories, pub'd in themed Anthology, "Will There Be A Sunset?", out now. www.chickenhousepress.ca/press/though...

Tell me about your dream #litmag. How would their subs work? What focus would intrigue you? Do you care re layout of issues, online vs print, feedback, etc? I believe in honest stories/poetry that strikes the heart. How would you build on that? #amwriting #fiction #CNF #poetry #art #amreading

Many #litmags go under 1st 3yrs or less. Funding main issue. I know it's hard for #amwriting authors to see their pub'd work disappear; I've experienced it myself. If you could create a dream-mag, what would it look like? What mini sub fee is ok to keep mag afloat? Thoughts?

Every yr on Mar 8 I post a clip of of sweet daughter Melissa singing in honour of International Women's Day, & as it happens, also her bday. This one is at age 13yr, "I Hope You Dance," at the Magna Hoedown Showdown semifinals, by the fab Lee Ann Womack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=furT...

Always a thrill to have one of my little #flashfiction pieces make the fab @pulpliterature longlist! Good luck to all the #CanLit writers on this list! pulpliterature.com/announcing-t...

Obviously #litmags using Submittable get dinged by the platform. As starving artists, what do you think is a fair sub fee is to cover this? Do you prefer email sub=zero fees? I sub across CA/US/UK & find sub fees range $2-45 for reg subs. Asking for a possible new litmag ;)

As a writer I thought it'd be fun to lead a book club so founded 1 last fall. NOT reading my stuff only other writers. We meet every 3 mns/select new book. 2nd meet tonight. Really enjoy chatting w gals in club about what THEY like-so informative to chat outside the "lit" world

“My vision has always been to create a space that welcomes new voices, champions them in a way that helps them feel heard, and packages their passion into beautiful, consumable goods that become fresh gems in the literary world.”-Alanna Rusnak

"I sit up & cradle its head in my lap. I stroke its neck. Its eyes are like my daughter's beneath the blazing tree." I've lost a child-this one made me cry so hard. Love, love, love this piece by @dluntz.bsky.social @bulbculture.bsky.social MUST READ www.bulbculturecollective.com/read/a-fall-...
