Really pleased to have my piece selected as part of the LISP anthology and huge congratulations to @gilloshaughnessy.bsky.social for her win!

Have now also made a Submission Calls feed using the hashtags #SubmissionCall and #WritingComp: To follow the feed, click the link, then see where it says "Add to my feeds" / "add" at the top. Click the heart & the pin icons. Should then appear in your list of feeds.

Thank you to the always brilliant @freeflashfiction.bsky.social for reposting this one. 🙏

Web submissions are open until 13th October: www.ellipsiszine.com/submissions/

This quote just resonated with me. This is what great music (and great writing) does. We carry it with us and it informs who we are.

My October newsletter is full of freebies for the writing community - example story lists, a character creator template, a story planner, a geeky submissions tracker spreadsheet... Hopefully some useful stuff for you all. PS - very grateful for re-posts to spread the word! #Flashfiction #writers

Just four more days to send your micros, flashes and short stories for the next edition of WestWord. Going live in December. The theme is HOPE, which we all need a good healthy dose of the way the world is right now! westword.uk/submissions/

Reminder to Bluesky noobs to check your settings and make sure your number of likes to see a reply is set at zero. The default is set at 2, it'll be a pretty quiet feed for a while if you don't adjust that. Cheers!

I just looked at what I've got going on next week and I have precisely zero work booked in, so if any #writer needs editing eyes or feedback on anything from a #flashfiction up to a novel, please get in touch. Details about my editing services at the link:

Free Flash Fiction have arrived! Such a wonderful lit mag, do check them out and follow. Their current comp is open for submissions until 23rd October. Welcome @freeflashfiction.bsky.social ! 👋
