So happy to have received an acceptance from the wonderful @rustandmoth.bsky.social for their Winter 26 Issue. I have loved their magazine for a long time and cannot wait to share another poem with you all x

Thinking of writing something for our biohazard horror call? Here are some of things our reader, Zoe Davis @meanerharker.bsky.social would like to see 🦝 This call is open for eight more days. Give us horror and your dark biology 🖤 All the details are here: trashcatlit.com/call-for-bio...

A lovely acceptance today from Stoat Poetry. 'If you care' is going to be my first poem published about living with FND, a condition that has completely changed my life. It's scary putting something so personal into the world, but I know this one has found the perfect home x

What an honour to be picked! I definitely write more poetry than prose, so when I get a little nod that my stories aren't half bad it's always a huge boost. Thanks loads to @trashcatlit.bsky.social and @therelphian.bsky.social for the nomination and good luck to everyone else x
