We need to see from successful writers of novels saythis. Magazines don't care about your accolades, meaning magazines don't care that you haven't published yet. Short fiction is hard and it is NOT a classroom for novel-writing. It is its own discipline. Become great at short fiction.

I finished TAPEWORM by @apthayer.bsky.social last night and it was so fucking good. Lucky me, I got to text him that. Onto MUÑECA by @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social. FUN FACT: Cynthia was my VONA cohortmate in 2020 under the tutelage of @tananarivedue.bsky.social, now she's the horror baddie.

I'm out of this world to be attending the fall speculative writing workshop at @mccormackwc.bsky.social! I'll be in the YA Fiction Cohort with @tehlormejia.bsky.social! #writingcommunity #mccormackwritingworkshop

Eugenia has already said here everything I was going to say about this. One thing I will add is that the lasting thing I gained following this project was a deep hatred for AI slop and LLMs as anyone who has heard me speak on ths subject since knows. I saw how the sausage was made and rejected it.

People get so mad they miss that people are the point

Just going to leave this here. I wrote in 2023.

Okay party people, you can find #SomtoIhezue reading "When Trees Laugh It Sounds Like This" on our youtube channel! His award-winning story "We Begin Where Infinity Ends" will be included in the anthology. Enjoy! youtu.be/zu3cLrOg2Kg... http://kck.st/4wtYJ6...

Congrats to @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social and the entire GCWS team (volunteers, speakers, everyone) for what everyone is saying was a fantastic weekend!

We survived GenCon Writers Symposium 2026, y’all (and that’s saying something considering the occasional tornado). I was so busy running around I barely got to enjoy it. Luckily, my interns and friends made sure to slow me down to experience what we were curating.

This year's GenCon Writers Symposium was amazing! Check out this thread from @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social to learn why the convention is a must-attend for writers. Maurice and his staff have truly transformed the Symposium in the last two years. I can't wait to see what they do next time!

A friend who I greatly respect and admire just dubbed me The Queen of Weird. I wear that crown proudly. #Necronomicon

Re-Upping cause we at GenCon baby!

Cats out of the bag! Stay tuned to find out who all coming to The Cookout
