DEADLINE EXTENDED THROUGH TUESDAY! We still have a few spots left for one-on-one editor consults! If you already registered for the WriteHive Lite retreat, you should have received a link to apply for the consults. 🐝

Lite is our super chill retreat where you have the chance to have a FREE consult with an editor! You can talk about anything writing or publishing related (self, indie, or trad). Free opportunities likes are rare, especially from professionals as knowledgeable and approachable as our guests!

Don't miss out! Applications to have one-on-one time with an editor at this year's WriteHive Lite virtual conference close on September 19! Attendees can join workshops but if you're looking for 1:1 time, don't miss your chance! Registration and details on our editors: writehive.org/writehive-li...

Currently at the @writehive.bsky.social Indie Ink Awards ceremony. Can't wait to see who the winners are!

THE FEALTY OF MONSTERS was nominated for This Book Made Me Hungry/Thirsty and regardless the outcome, I will be milking this until the end of time

Very excited for this! STARS AND SOIL was a Finalist for Writing the Future We Need: Disability Representation by A Disabled Author and also Writing the Future We Need: Gay and Lesbian Representation!

Go watch these if you can. Someday I'll write something that actually makes the finals of these awards. At least that's my hope.

THE REANIMATOR'S REMAINS is in the mental health, disability rep, Neurodivergent rep, and LGBT categories this year (I think, it's been a while). Can't wait to see everyone there!

It's going to be a big indie party, come on in !!

The Indie Ink Awards winner announcements take place this Sunday Sept. 14 at 3pm ET/12 pm PT! If you'd like to receive the Zoom link to attend the ceremony, please RSVP: forms.gle/4t6TJGcmA6jQ...

Strutting around with the @writehive.bsky.social tote bag that was made for me. Literally. 

We won’t talk about the fact that it’s carrying medical records. On my chronic illness-400 doctor visits a year-thing. . . . . . #amwriting #choosehappiness #indieauthors #chronicillnesswarriors

My story "The lucky one" is set to be published in February 2026!

My @writehive.bsky.social mug came in! It’s so funny because 1) it’s true and 2) I watched this mug come to be in real time at #WriteHive2025!

This weekend, I attended the free virtual #WriteHive conference, and had a great, informative time! Thank you @writehive.bsky.social for hosting so many great speakers during this event

#WriteHive2025 has come and gone so quickly! Wonderful programming over 3 days. I'm still catching up on the recordings... amidst packing for #Readercon @writehive.bsky.social @readercon.org #WritingCommunity (I introduced a friend this year @cynthialamb.bsky.social !)

Huge thanks to the #WritingCommunity for the love & support for Glitch & Fragments of Us during #BluePit 💙 I also had a wonderful time at the @writehive.bsky.social Annual Conference this weekend! Feeling inspired & energized! ✍🏻✨ To all the new friends/followers, welcome! 🤗 #amwriting #amquerying

@writehive.bsky.social conference is over and I already miss it. Lots of videos to catch up on. Already started working on my next short story!

I want to read but I want to write but I want to attend #WriteHive2025 panels ahhhh why are there so many fun things to do and so little time to do them in

Attending #WriteHive2025. So amazing and, best of all, it's online!

Ending my #WriteHive2025 with two fabulous panels: -How to Blend Genres -Hopepunk: Writing with Empathy in Dark Times My pen is almost out of ink. Can it make it through the last excited note-taking sessions? Stay tuned.

Now at the panel I am on. :D Coop publishing is a good route to go if you want to be with likeminded folks with the same goals etc. Community IS a thing and good. #WriteHive2025 #panelthoughts

Am totally blown away by the #WriteHive2025 conference. I think it just might be the best virtual con I’ve ever experienced. So well done, and everyone was great! I had an absolute BLAST!

Despite what is going on in the world today, we must never let go of our humanity, our kindness, our resolve, and our community. We must continue to create safe spaces, pockets of resilience. Thank you to everyone who joined us at this year's conference! 🐝 #WriteHive2025

Thanks to all who joined my panels at @writehive.bsky.social this weekend. I'm not sure if they will be available after the event, but if so, I'll share the links. WriteHive is a fun, free on-line writers conference. I have fun every year. Learn all about them at writehive.org

I had an absolutely blast at #WriteHive2025! I learned so much, and I cannot wait to apply it all to my projects. Thank you to all the moderators, panelists, and everyone working behind the scenes with @writehive.bsky.social. You're doing tremendous work for the writing community. 💛

Super, super glad I attended the Comp Titles panel led by @ltdavila.bsky.social at the @writehive.bsky.social conference. Lauren gave a lot of great insight and advice. After Q&A, I submitted THE DEVOURING's comp titles for workshopping and she said they were perfect! 😍 #WritingCommunity

I've never written a pure mystery before, so the Breadcrumbing Clues in Mystery Novels discussion with @writehive.bsky.social was fantastic to help me figure out where to start learning the aspects of this genre. Thanks to the panelists for their great insights! #WriteHive2025

Many takeaways today today about breadcrumbing (or seeding) clues in your mystery. Thanks to the amazing panel: @historyneverwas.bsky.social @alverneball.bsky.social @bobbynashwrites.bsky.social & @writehive.bsky.social #WritingCommunity #Booksky #Fictionwriters&authors #Writerly #Queerwriters
