Happy Pride from the vanilla tub over here to all the other flavours of the rainbow! Flesh Fiction wouldn't have been what it was without your bold contributions, and we've been honoured to showcase such a tasty spectrum of human sexual identity and desire. Love is love, and lust is lust! 🌈

As we brace ourselves for the imminent official launch of Flesh Fiction Volume, let's play a little game... IF YOU DARE, choose a page number between 21 and 296, and we'll share a saucy quote from that page 👀

What a wonderful weekend we had talking all things books on the beautiful Central Coast of NSW. There’s something incredibly invigorating about surrounding oneself with intelligent people and inviting them to talk about their passion subject. Thanks for having us again Words on the Waves! 🌊

Who’s competing in the July Not Quite Write Prize for Flash Fiction? Just a friendly reminder that the 20% early bird discount ends today! Sign up now at notquitewriteprize.com

Gearing up for Day 2 at our local writers festival, Words on the Waves. Looking forward to bringing you our author chats on our ‘Not Quite Write Interviews’ podcast stream.

G'day to our listeners all around the world! Thanks for tuning in to our silly nonsense. May it provide you a few moments' relief from The Horrors. ❤️ Where do you listen from? Let's see if we can collect countries in the comments like Pokemon 😆

My Baredevil podcast episode dropped. I absolutely love the feedback. Go listen! Big thanks to @notquitewrite.com @akscotland.bsky.social, Ed, and special guest @elisescott.bsky.social

My interview is out in WOW, for coming in the top ten of their flash fiction competition with I Need This Like I Need a Head in the Hole, which was originally written for Not Quite Write, where it longlisted. @notquitewrite.com www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cvw...

In celebration of hump day, we figured it's high time we unleash our first Flesh Fiction BAREdevil episode! Join us on the Not Quite Write Podcast feed as we *go deep* into @j--town.bsky.social's steamy shower story, 'Voyeurism and Exhibitionism: HOA Approved' 🥵 Grab a towel. It's gonna get wet 💦

Like it's not hot enough today... look what just arrived from Down Under!! Thanks Ed and Amanda. @notquitewrite.com

It was a fun interview with challenging questions about writing erotica and a ‘plant sex’ theme among some of the competition entries!

Interested to learn more about the woman behind our WINNING Flesh Fiction story? Check out our interview with @jaynerice.bsky.social in the articles section of our website! Link in thread 👀

Unfortunately, we already drank all the wine during recording!

There’s always something a little voyeuristic in a Not Quite Write Daredevil experience… but you ain’t heard nothin’ yet! Join us tomorrow for our 1st BAREdevil ep, where together we’ll learn more than we ever dared about exhibitionist/voyeur communities. And maybe we’ll talk writing as well 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🤷🏼‍♂️

Join us for a little window into our Flesh Fiction book launch! We had the time of our lives unlocking this personal life achievement, and we're eternally grateful to the 31 talented authors featured in this volume for making it possible 🙏

What else could you possibly need? Grab your copy of Flesh Fiction now at notquitewritepress.com For the first 6 orders, we'll chuck in a leftover novelty p3nis straw from the book launch 😂

Some happy snaps from the Flesh Fiction Book Launch! Huge thanks to everyone who came along to show support for our twisted little book baby. And an even bigger thanks to the authors whose work appeared in this volume! @quitewriteed.bsky.social @deankoorey.bsky.social @chloepaige.bsky.social

If you’re wondering where that buzzing sound is coming from, it’s just us 👀 We had the BEST time at the Flesh Fiction book launch! We were so thrilled to see so many people out in support of spicy fiction ❤️ Please enjoy Dean’s on stage selfie. We’ll share some more photos soon, but for now… sleep!

Who would've thought THIS would be our legacy!

We appreciate The haiku from a land where The red sun rises

Proof that poems can and do win us over! Looks like the Queen is gonna make it difficult to trump her leaderboard position, with her eye-wateringly impressive consistency 🙌🏻

Who can help Brandon with this rather specific lit mag search? @chillsubs.bsky.social?

We were fine until you came along! ✝️

It always happens when you least expect it!

Congratulations to every #NotQuiteWritePrize author who made this round such a phenomenally good time, and especially to our 40 longlisters, whose stories managed to stand out from this brilliant group! I am so grateful to @notquitewrite.com for giving me the chance to read so mang glorious stories!

Thanks, Babe 🥰

Licking my wounds. Congrats to everyone who longlisted! @notquitewrite.com

Not the week for me. Oh well. Congrats to all the LL peeps! @notquitewrite.com @akscotland.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social
