Resharing this job listing as I’ve noticed 99% of the applicants so far are male. I’m always a proponent of diverse creative teams, so if there are any women, enby, trans, and/or gender nonconforming writers who would possibly be interested, please reach out!

So... #SmallPressDay is sponsored by @brokenfrontier.bsky.social this year. Or to put it more bluntly the entire running costs (hosting, app subs, payment to an artist for this year's poster, etc.) come from my pocket. On top of BF's running losses. So if you enjoy SPD please chip in if you can!
#SmallPressDay is run by a tiny team of volunteers happy to give up their time for free for the community. But there are still costs we have to take on (hosting, artist for this year's poster, apps, etc.). Want to help? Donations to the Broken Frontier Ko-fi welcome! ko-fi.com/andyoliver70...
