New story day! "Oasis" is out to read now on Phano, and I'm grateful to @ammansabet.bsky.social for giving it a beautiful home (and illustration!). Do give it a read: www.phano.co/articles/oasis

Have you read? Look for the Helpers by Dave Walsh at Phano When all she wants to do is help war orphans and they aren't quite good enough. www.phano.co/articles/loo...

Fusion Fragment really puts a ton of effort into boosting their writers! Lovely plug for a story of mine that came out in Phano magazine. Give it a read!!

"Ted's Endless Meat looked exactly as if it was designed by a billionaire, which is to say, expensive, inhuman, and pointless." My story "The Only Good Billionaire" is live now in Phano #8. The billionaires are coming to save us! Beware! Be hungry!

For more of Sam’s fiction, you can check out his recent publication in Phano, “Gratitude of the Dispossessed.” www.phano.co/articles/gra...

"Within every image resides a disavowal of the image. In the beginning God created cancer." "Rubicon" is a story with a slow start to a hypnotizing exploration of being and meaning.

🔥 Phano 8 is live! www.phano.co/issues/issue-8 “Rubicon” by Jimmy Christon “Special Economic Zone” by E. M. Woodruff “The Only Good Billionaire” by Andrew Kozma Phano 7, if you slept on it: www.phano.co/issues/issue-7

The best tip (imo) for illustrated books: never repeat what's in the text in the image. Always add something to the narrative in the image. Think of the art and words as two widgets in a machine with slightly different jobs that work together to make the machine work.

Avoiding AI in creative endeavors is about preserving the human communication between the artist and audience that happens through what we make. Let’s not alienate those in our community with purity tests around AI and instead get clearer about why connection between humans is sacred in our arts.

That feeling when a story in the submission pile won't let you go, and you have to hold off on reading the rest of the stories that are queued up for your review. Not untill the spell fades and you can give the rest of them the proper attention they deserve.
