Publication day! Come on, don't be afraid, the house on top of the hill will open its doors wide for you 👻 It was so much fun to write, huge thanks to @blackharepress.bsky.social for giving my house a home!!!

As someone who isn’t “well known” in the writing community, doesn’t have the most publications, and probably doesn’t come off as a very strong writer, I am always terrified magazines might view what I send as poor AI writing and easily dismiss it. I trust every place I send my writing to +

The subscription drive (to increase staff and contributor pay) is running until the anniversary of the magazine. We're about halfway to the goal. Thank you to everyone that has subscribed so far! clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

Reading @clarkesworldmagazine.com through the years and eventually working up the nerve to send my first submission ever to your magazine has fundamentally changed my life. I’m so glad you followed through and did it.

Massive power outage due to storms where I live. Might be days before it’s fixed. Definitely can’t do something like stay in a hotel or something until resolve. Very not great situation for a lot of reasons :/

New story up on @blackharepress.bsky.social patreon. You can join now to read my story and many others!

At the Nebulas, @maryannemohanraj.bsky.social, the founder of Strange Horizons, spoke about the origins of the magazine and how it started at a time where there were few opportunities for short story writers, particularly new writers, to have their work published. (1/3)

It’s pub day for the WOMEN OF THE WEIRD WEST Anthology, an imaginative, multicultural collection of weird wild west stories! My story “How To Kill A Yaoguai” is in here, inspired by Chinese immigrants in the 1800s and the women who were often trafficked to the so-called “new world."

Thankfully caught an extremely wrong science thing in the first draft before another human being had to see that lmao

Contract signed, I’ll have a science fiction horror flash piece forthcoming in @blackharepress.bsky.social patreon 🎉

An interesting warning for writers: There have been ads, making their rounds on social media, advertising writing contests with large prizes. Beware-- some of these contests are tricks to get you to submit files that will then be used to train AI models (LLMs). READ THE FINE PRINT!

Man, this poem by @marissalingen.bsky.social in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social feels so relevant for writing. You can be a novelist, short story writer, poet. You can write sci-fi, romance, horror, anything you want. Don't let anyone ever tell you what you can write or what kind of writer you are.

BY THE WAY, I had a poem out in @smallwondersmag.com earlier this year Daughter was not born, but emerged from the last fox’s mouth in the last forest of the world ... smallwondersmag.com/piece/foxes-...

As a writer, the house is what you build. You build your house with reading, writing, sentences, practice, again and again. Inside that house, you'll soon accumulate work you've actually completed, poetry and stories and books. Continued...

My feed is FULL of speculative poetry links, I’m in heaven 😍

Most random story idea popped into my head today. I am not a creative person at all so I’m holding on to these threads for dear life and dreading the eventual “oh actually that doesn’t make sense” moment of realization that’ll hit at some point

In a world where "AI" submissions are a plague, human-written stories are the cure for an editor's breaking heart. Don't let the flood discourage you from sending your work out there. You are better, no what the hype of the moment says. We want your stories. Not the slop-infested noise.

Really exciting news today. My short story “Six People to Revise You” is a Hugo finalist! Congrats to all the finalists! See you in Anaheim!!! www.lacon.org/hugofinalist...

Our not-so-little story, We Begin Where Infinity Ends, is a Locus Award Novelette Finalist. Grateful to everyone who read, loved, and recommended this story. May all your infinites be boundless✨🪲💕

Hey, my poem, "The Church At The Edge of Time" (in @strangehorizons.bsky.social) was used to teach how to write speculative poetry 😱 poemancer.com/writing-spec...

I have a new story out today in @apexmag.bsky.social! "The Island of Sea Turtles and Blood" is a happy love story on a remote island where everything is delicious and perfect 😀 (oh, the title? Don't mind that.) Loosely inspired by the Japanese urban legend of Hanako-san.

The best part of the Poetry Nebula Award is that you can read the entire slate of nominees with only five minutes of your time. Poets are like late-night robbers, coming to beat your heart with emotions, and then fleeing before your nervous system alarms go off. Links below

Kaleidotrope will be open to fiction and poetry submissions April 19-25. Kaleidotrope is currently open to artwork submissions.
