I am so excited to work with @unfortu-nate.bsky.social on their stellar science fiction horror MOONMARROW. 😍 Pitched as: ANNIHILATION x THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE WE LAST SPOKE

I love this idea! I think my theme for 2026 is "embracing the new and amazing." 🥰

In 2 hours I get to announce my 2026 #WriteHive mentees!

Stalking #WriteHive #HiveMentor mentee potentials this weekend. 👀 After announcements, I'll hit those follow back buttons. I want to keep connecting with writers and their beautiful stories.

Happy book birthday to @susannahwilley.bsky.social and her amazing new novel NOSTALGIA. Susannah Willey's novel is a stunning portrayal of the harsh realities of Civil War medicine. Grab your copy: utterloonacy.com/books-2/nost...

A5: If you've enjoyed this chat or #FirstDraftFall, I'd really appreciate you checking out the #WeeknightWriters Pro Discord. You get lots of year-round support & your money helps me keep running events like this one - and eventually start planning even bigger and better events

I've spent a lot of holidays on my own. And I've definitely been the guy who had to work while all my fellow employees have been off with their families. So if you're working or alone this holiday, much love to you. May the day treat you well, pass quickly, and be devoid of assholes. Love you guys.

Years ago, when I was a mentee hopeful, the silence during the submission window was always the worst. So for my hopefuls out there that need at least the occasional note, here we go... 🥰 #WriteHive #HiveMentor 1/

Today begins the #G20WomensShutdown. The G20 Women’s Shutdown will see people from across [South Africa] and beyond band together to pull their labour, their presence, and their spending. #AuthorsAgainstAbuse is joining the fight. sundayindependent.co.za/dispatch/202...

In this moving episode of Alexa Haddock’s Publishing Chat, Alexa speaks with our very own Kasey Rogers, K. J. “Kat” Harrowick, and Justine Manzano about using storytelling and authorship to change how the world understands domestic and financial abuse. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...
