NEITHER OLDER NOR LARGER appears in Omniboz: Tales from the Land of Oz. I remember reaching out to Jendia while the submission window was open and almost talking myself out of writing this piece because a gender diverse Ozma might have already been covered by one of the early announced authors.

Well. We over at @scyllapublishing.bsky.social are thrilled to be working with Nicole Field @faerywhimsy.bsky.social on this. Subs open! www.scyllapublishing.com/anthology 1) Please read the submissions guidelines, and 2) While you're contemplating your sub, remember that sometimes the sapphics win!

The film “Breaking the Ice” is finally getting a wider release no doubt due to ice hockey madness but it is so NOT like Heated Rivalry. But it is great and absolutely worth finding for the sapphics out there. I wrote a review ages ago. www.kissingfingertips.com/p/breaking-t...

At that point in the writing process where you end the day going “woohoo! I obliterated 1000 words today!” #queerwriters #blueskywriters #amwriting

I’m so excited to have my story “What the Tide Takes” out in the world this September. Thanks @scyllapublishing.bsky.social for seeing the vision and helping bring it to life!

It's tough seeing every single freelance artist I know having the same "uhh I haven't had paying work or sales in weeks" posts, it's gotten extremely tough out there for us. If you have the means, please consider treating yourself to a commission or print or book from an artist you like, it helps!

that moment when your most rejected story becomes your second pro rate sale? @scyllapublishing.bsky.social 🥹😭 i first wrote “letters to a lost time” in 2022/23 and i’ve always loved the concept but didn’t have the skill to execute it until this year. i guess some stories never die after all??

Delighted to be able to post that I'll have a story in this first anthology to be published by @scyllapublishing.bsky.social The team's been wonderful to work with. Check out their website (www.scyllapublishing.com) and newsletter for future opportunities.

I'm glad to say I'll have a Goatskin story in @scyllapublishing.bsky.social 's Sapphic Spec Fic anthology. First book from this new Australian small press. Their website already has a call for the next anthology: www.scyllapublishing.com

I am about to start writing a book set in my home city for the first time in my life so I am on foot today scouring neighborhoods and have already found three interesting things I didn’t know existed.

This CAN be done.

None of us can really predict the future, least of all me. I've got two balls, and neither one is made of crystal. But what I can see is you're doing your best. No matter what comes of it, I see you putting in the effort to forge a future of your own making. And babes, I'm very proud of you.

Why is it that we would all open bookstores if we could?

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel.

The sheer number of kickstarters and backerkits I have to sadly walk past because postage to Australia is… sigh. (Yes I do donate to quite a few but…sigh)

Artist! Quote with your woman art!

Opinions: put in a pronunciation guide at the front of the book if you know your names are likely to be difficult for English speakers to get right even in their heads, or just leave it alone and let the chips fall where they may? #queerwriters #amwriting #amediting

I'm giving a workshop on worldbuilding for fantasy writers (from my fairly idiosyncratic point of view!) on Monday 4 May up at Maleny for the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Writers Festival schwritersfestival.com.au

Oooh, one of my favorite books on disability is on sale for $2.56 for the next 6 days at Libro FM! If you ever plan to write disabled characters, please, please read this masterpiece by @amandaleduc.bsky.social, Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space. #BookSky #Disability

What an extraordinary lesson in book marketing. This is the same damn book! UK release on the left, Australian release on the right as far as I can tell. I would happily pick up and read the first and would avoid the second like the plague. Again. Same damn book. Weird. Keeping notes.
