What to expect from Issue Five when it’s available in two days? 1. A gorgeous mystery from @emharriettwrites.bsky.social about a man whose memory was stolen, the villagers who take him into their campfire, and the witch down the road who guides him toward new meaning. Deep and delightful.

Issue Five drops October 1. Gods trapped in vacuum cleaners. Monks trying to remove their brains. Sentient reality-surfing swords. Rainbow zombie fungi. Magic boys going undercover to fight a child-eater. And more potent transformations: www.patreon.com/Adventitious...

nice: query letter & synopsis were easier to write than I feared less nice: gonna spend the next week agonizing over every single verb

Nothing makes me lose respect for a publication faster than seeing they allow AI subs or use AI for story art (or, god forbid, cover art). 🙄👎

It sucks that so many publishers/lit mags see the em-dash as an AI red flag. I love the dash-- it's my favorite piece of punctuation-- and I don't want to remake my entire writing style all because some slop machine co-opted it.

Let's go! Preorders are open for STELLAR PARALLAX, an anthology of hope in the dark from @inkedingraypress.bsky.social that I'm so proud to be part of! 🔗www.wordsmakeart.com/collections/stellar-parallax-human-hope-in-grimdark-worlds #anthology #writingcommunity #writersky #smallpress #shortstory
