the Montréal SFF anthology Unréal is now up for preorder on the @flamearrowpub.bsky.social website! my queer, bilingual and dare I say funny retelling of the Quebec legend La chasse-galerie is in eminent company among the work of Sylvie Bérard, Erik Choi, Rich Larson, Geneviève Blouin, and more!

thank you @canconsffh.bsky.social for another great convention 💖✨ (not pictured: the bazillion key cards I ended up with by constantly locking myself out of my hotel room)

We have RE-OPENED for short story and poetry submissions from Canadian/Turtle Island writers 🍁🍁🍁 Our extended period will be open until October 18th. We'd love to see: ❣obvious Sci-Fi or Fantasy elements ❣ relationships shown on-the-page heartlinesspec.moksha.io/publication/...

nearing 40 agent rejections, not a single one personalized -- I have pretty tough skin now but some days the spectre of "not good enough" is harder to shake off ...

We made these games and they're all on sale! 🍂🦊 Kitfox Fall Sale: store.steampowered.com/publisher/ki...

After waking up to the good news of the demise of one corrupt televangelist (may more follow him soon), a brief reminder that our first anthology, Trollbreath Magazine Volume One (2024-2025) is available for pre-order (print pre-orders via Barnes & Noble) magazine.trollbreath.com/trollbreath-...

Reminder, Plott Hound Magazine will be open to submissions through October 15th. For fiction, we're looking for short stories, flash fiction, and reprints. We also publish poetry and an essay every issue. Submit via our Moksha portal: plotthound.moksha.io/publication/...

I was appalled at how all the editors and investigative journalists discussing the Thélyson Orélien scandal were convinced Pangram couldn't possibly be wrong. any author's career and reputation is one AI check from ruin. I also don't think it's a coincidence that Falade and Orélien are both Black.

power cut for maintenance so witchy vibes time 🕯️🕯️🕯️

La couverture de mon livre est dévoilée! En librairie le 7 octobre. Incipit : «Je quittai la mort à contrecœur comme l'on quitte, pressé, un chaud repas inachevé. Et tout cela pourquoi ? Pour me retrouver à la rentrée, face à une classe de maternelle.» #booksky www.leslibraires.ca/livres/brule...

de retour d'une 46e édition du @congresboreal.bsky.social émouvante et inspirante 🩷 ma première expérience de panéliste a été super enrichissante, et je suis ravie d'avoir remporté le concours d'écriture sur place! mon texte sera publié prochainement dans Solaris 🥹🎉 objectif personnel accompli!

Schedule Update: we are closing to submissions on September 30th instead of the end of October to reduce staff burn out, and provide additional time to focus on the anthology launch and website performance updates. We will reopen on January 1st, 2027. magazine.trollbreath.com/submissions/

Je suis très fière de participer à la table ronde "Notre imaginaire est-il capacitiste?" au @congresboreal.bsky.social samedi prochain! Ce sera ma première participation à un panel et je suis ravie que ce soit au sujet d'un thème qui me tient tant à coeur! Venez vous joindre à nous 🩷

very jealous of those who get to see the solar eclipse today! I was fortunate to see one in Montreal two years ago and it was magical. thought I'd share this poem I wrote at the time: madihaab.com/2024/04/poem...

lots of poetry this time: Tiffany Morris, Ellora Sutton, Klara du Plessis, Amber Dawn and more, along with the dark fantasy anthology Clocks, where my story "The Wind-up Heart" is in excellent company!

Last year a mysterious patron commissioned a zine of dark trans fable and myth. Editorial intern MJ Woods and I put it together for you with some wonderful contributors. Limited run, 100 copies, coming 9/15. You can get it via Club Serpentine or pick it up here: www.neonhemlock.com/chapbooks-zi...

ngl at this point I'm SO curious to read Bella Chacha. the one nonfiction piece I found by googling was pretty underwhelming so I can't help but wonder just what it is about their writing that managed to bamboozle so many publications.

HELLO AUTHORS. The Deadlands will open to short story submissions (up to 5,000 words) for the entire month of October. but wait there's MORE For the first time everrr we are opening to NOVELETTE SUBMISSIONS (1/3)

one last thought to curb the bleakness of this post: I think community is about to become more important than ever, since that's one thing AI and chatbots can't take away from us.

All Hail one of the original Scream Kings who always gave it his all and was truly inimitable in every role he played. The immensely talented and charismatic Sam Neill. RIP. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment you gave me, and for guaranteeing your presence would always be a memorable one. 🖤📽️🩸

There has been an addendum to this- It should now say at the bottom "Like Lindsey Graham did" 😈🎨🦇 Colored pencil on black paper

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

If you missed my cover reveal yesterday, here it is again with some words I had about the artist. Pre-orders are now open for this book. Some links provided on the linked page but you can get it wherever you buy your books. www.starsandsabers.com/books/the-as...

I'm extremely proud of this story, please check it out 🩷🌿🌷

this time on the menu: Toni Morrison, literary horror, fantasy, and a poetry anthology inspired by Taylor Swift ... though I can't abide her cozying up to MAGA, so take it as a sendoff to my decade+ of being a fan.

I think this is a really neat idea

my purchase moved it over the $500 line >:) support disabled authors if you're able and share this post!
