Anyone know any good writing podcats? I'm starting to pitch appearances for my new book. I listen to "Between the Covers," "Another Fucking Writing Podcast," and "Otherppl." I feel like I am missing others now that my commute is just a 10 minute walk to work! #Writing_Community

Wasnât sure about #awp26, but somehow said âyesâ to two panel proposal invites, so I guess Iâm going next year.
If anyone else still needs to round out a panel, send me a message. Open to anything on flash/short fiction, queer lit, small press editing, whatever else you cook up.

Yaâll, itâs getting real. Reviewing the layout and some proofreading notes. Physical ARC comes later, but I printed the pages since I prefer to read this way. Obviously canât tell much from these teaser pages, but @boaeditions typesetter Isabella Madeira did a beautiful job.

As various "most anticipated" book lists for 2025 start to roll out, not seeing many story collections! I know these things are usually novel-centric, but I want me some stories! Who has (or is looking forward to) a collection of stories in 2025?

Gross! This is the main display at Loweâs, right when you get into the store. Halloween stuff is still there but pushed off to the side. I just want ONE spooky month. Is that too much to ask? Itâs only October 4th. The Christmas creep gets earlier every year!
