Omg how much fun was this episode of the Niche? I even discovered a whole new thing I was unfamiliar with, and now can't understand how I lived without. Hint: it's to do with rain.
Not Quite Write@notquitewrite.com · 19h agoNew episode, who dis? In this episode of our bonus Patreon show, The Niche, Amanda’s lips are officially UNsealed 😱 Join us as we take our first tentative peek into THE DOSSIER 👀 …. What is The Dossier? Wouldn’t you like to know! 🤭
#NotQuiteWritePrize story 4797 earned a yes from me with its subtle, layered approach to a subject that's very difficult to write about well, in my opinion, as well as its utterly gorgeous prose, which flowed between stark and lush. I was deeply moved.
This is for all of you who participated in the April round of the #NotQuiteWritePrize: my newest shirt, which I will be wearing while I read your stories this evening!
#NotQuiteWritePrize authors... RUDE! I'm here at this ballroom dancing competition with my daughter, right out in public, and one of y'all made me cry! It's my very first story of the day, and 4849 is officially my second YES, so we shall see what @akscotland.bsky.social and @notquitewrite.com think
And we have a YES from me! #NotQuiteWritePrize story 4894 took a couple of risks, including one fairly big one, and in my opinion, pulled it off. I appreciate the complexity of the emotion this story evoked in me. Now to see what @akscotland.bsky.social and @quitewriteed.bsky.social think!
EVERYONE! QUICK! ENTER! IT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT FOR ME TO WIN ANY MORE MONEY FROM NQW!!!

#NotQuiteWrite story 5007 just somehow brought me around to recommending a nonfiction book I recently read, so hopefully @quitewriteed.bsky.social or @akscotland.bsky.social (not telling which) will be entertained by that. Thanks to the author for the fun thought-journey!
Hello #NotQuiteWrite authors! There's an overall vibe this round, an atmospheric, expansive lushness, that I'm really enjoying sinking into. I'm nearly 1/3 finished with my stories. Still no Y or F yet (I'm shamefully pernickety), but that just means I haven't read YOUR story yet! 😉
Great paid opportunity for an artist!!

Okay, I just laughed REALLY hard. 4812, I don't know if I should thank you or shake you and scream, "Why?!" I can't wait to see what @notquitewrite.com thinks. #NotQuiteWritePrize
First 10 read. As always, wrote too many notes for @quitewriteed.bsky.social & @akscotland.bsky.social. No Y or F yet, but: Some truly gorgeous prose Every story's had a rich emotional heart I've laughed I've flinched You've kicked me in the chest I'm loving every minute of it. #NotQuiteWritePrize
I know some of y'all can't wait, so here's my first vague tweet. I've only read a handful, but the two I've liked best so far both included allusions (one literary, one film/tv). They were opposite in most ways, otherwise. One was #TeamEd and one was #TeamAmanda. #NotQuiteWritePrize 4958 & 4831
Who's it going to be? The daredevil episodes are my favorite!
Not Quite Write@notquitewrite.com · last wk.Not to be dramatic, but October NQWP ticket sales have been open for all of 5 seconds, and we're already down to just 3 remaining Daredevil spots for 2026 😨 Better act fast if you were planning on joining the gang with @josh-lowe.bsky.social and @laurajrayne.bsky.social. Max pain guaranteed 😈☑️
Being proud of your story is such a good feeling!
Robert Fairhead@tallandtrue.bsky.social · 2w agoIt may disappoint "Write Winning Flash Fiction" workshop's @akscotland.bsky.social that I chose @notquitewrite.com's Team Ed-Yang over Team Amanda-Yin for July's #NotQuiteWritePrize, but I hope she'll be proud of my story. Because I am! ❤️✍️ #writer #writing #flashfiction #shortstory #writesky
I love that notion: an idea that had to be written!
Trevor Flanagan (Writer) @trevorflanagan.bsky.social · 2w agoAnother tricky set of prompts for the #NotQuiteWritePrize #WritingCompetition but that's what makes it fun 🤔 Right? 😱 The 1st 24 hours had me throwing proverbial jellified ideas at the wall to see what would stick 😱🤣 but eventually I landed an idea that had to be written 💜❤️😎. #WritingCommunity
Mornings are the worst! Glad you got it in!
Brandon Woo@lifeisfiction.bsky.social · last wk.Thank God for Daylight Savings, or whatever the heck Australia does or doesn't do, that made the deadline an hour later than the January/April rounds. Couldn't have woken myself up for last-minute edits without that extra time! @notquitewrite.com #NotQuiteWritePrize #flashfiction #writing
Did some math and realized I only need to sell ONE book (well, one novel or two copies of my short story collection) to hit my sales goal for July Sooooo if you like fantasy or horror, check out my books and help me get there? diannagunn.itch.io

This is so true! Libraries are amazing and librarians are superheroes! Plus, they track their circulation, and acquire more copies of books that are taken out a lot. So reading library books helps authors directly, too!
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 2w agoSomeone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.
