COVER REVEAL for @danaiwrites.bsky.social Vile Lady Villains.

Thrilled to be in this anthology - not just because I loved the piece they accepted from me, but because its an awesome TOC of authors I admire!!

Coffee and a book. Currently reading the Florida Writers Association anthology (2025). One of my shorts makes an appearance though I'm mostly enjoying all the other stories in here. Get a copy 👉 amazon.to/3WN4EEt #floridawriters #shortstoryanthology #coffeeandabook #currentlyreading

This story by @parkeriswriting.bsky.social ruined my whole morning, and I mean that as the highest of compliments. Perfect Halloween read.

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

My 100% no-AI book finally triggered an AI-generated scam. (Spoiler alert to the scammer: you don't need to ask an author if your readers can read and review a published book.) I brushed up the grammar and present to you: AI scam email as book promo! 😂 (Cover photo, graphics, and edits by me.)

This was a very interesting story and so were the other two stories this week!

I have a story in this! The ToC is wild, the stories are incredible. If you want a weird west anthology, that's the one you NEED. Buy a copy, and check out 'Five Lemons in a Net', my story of trauma, soul-eating shadows, and of course, the importance of shopping lists 🔥

I've got a new flash story in this one. Lots of great weird west stories. Come and get 'em! 😁🙌💙

Great issue 🔥🔥🔥

It's a hard choice but I'm going with: “The Regrettable Loneliness of the Great Wizard Graveblossom’s Door” - Worlds of Possibility, April 2025 --cozy fantasy comedy with knock-knock jokes-- It's a funny, silly, intimate little piece and I love it. www.patreon.com/juliarios/sh...

It’s that time of the year again! If you’re voting for the Hugos, the Nebulas or any other SFF awards, I hope you will consider my two very Greek, very angry offerings. Both free to read!

One last #ShortStory to write about before I call it a weekend: this one is not my usual cup of tea, but it's oddness and strangeness appealed to me. It's beautiful. @bethgoder.bsky.social #AmReading #AmReadingFiction #Booksky #WritingCommunity #WritersLife strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...
