Share a random or favorite word with me that I may include for the upcoming Catober prompt list. Catober is a drawing challenge for October wherein participants draw a cat based on a word from the list. I have some ideas, but welcome yours!

Did I mention this is coming soon? No? Yes? Hey, this is coming soon! Trollbreath Publishing's first anthology, collecting the short stories and poems published in the magazine's first 6 issues! Scheduled for release on November 3rd, and should available for pre-order by the start of October.

Cover for our first anthology, Trollbreath Magazine Volume One (2024-2025). It shows a stylized scene of tall, gray-green trees with a small figure near the bottom in red like a girl wearing a red cloak. Edited by Jennifer & Jeff Reynolds

Hello, book people! I am the book content editor for Reactor Mag and I'm looking for sci-fi, fantasy, horror, romantasy, and speculative books coming out in 2027! If you have an adult or YA SFF/H book out next year (or publicist), share the link/info here!

$94 to go until the base goal is funded. Thank you to the latest 2 backers who just helped us out. 1.8+/- more backers and we can focus on the stretch goals of adding additional authors to the budget. Those who have backed in the past know I work hard to include as many authors as I can in anthos.

With another backer surge last night, the KS sits at 98% funded ($138 needed, about 2.65 backers). If you would like to be one of those two backers or have a friend who is 65% (give or take) of a person then check out the campaign at www.kickstarter.com/projects/526... #sff #kickstarter #ks #booksky

New way (to me) to build a writing habit: 1. Write a sentence everyday. 2. Write 2-4 short stories every month. 3. Submit a short story once a month. 4. Do not revise short story, unless asked to by the publication.

Using Ai as a “reference” sucks because it’s a dead end to learning and curiosity. There are more artists and writers whose work I can be inspired by and I can always dig deeper into them to learn more, but Ai flattens it to the result with no way to find out what parts were stolen from who.
