“It didn’t occur to me for about five or six years after leaving school that literature was something I could be involved in. Then I discovered it was possible to write stories myself…” —an extract from James Kelman on “Elitism & English Literature”, from a book I’m currently typesetting

Since May 1st I've printed, assembled, and mostly distributed over 700 copies of my booklet "Why Self-Publish Under Fascism?" This coming week I plan to make something new but you can still get these for $3.00 (or $2.00 if you buy 10 or more) from: halfletterpress.com/why-self-pub...

As everyone's getting ready for their holiday vacation, @renfestklingon.bsky.social takes us down a dark road in her tale "Detour". From our "Road Trips 2024" issue! weirdfictionquarterly.com/detour-by-er... #WeirdFictionQuarterly #WeirdFiction #FlashFiction #WeirdFlash

Writing flash fiction is using the language of poetry and the action/reaction of a stage play, all while balancing the need for context and characterization with the added magic of brevity and compression.

Wondering what's going on over the skies of New Jersey? Wonder no more. WFQ has the answer. #WeirdFictionQuarterly #NJUFOs #NJDrones

REMINDER: I vet my followers. Bots and obvious scams get an automatic block-and-report. If your user profile talks about selling book marketing/promotion and email marketing services, that will ALSO get you blocked. (I get a lot of follows from grifters who target self-published authors.)
