Hey everyone! Our Kickstarter is now underway. Over the years, we've published the work of new and established creators and used profits to support worthy causes. Please help us maintain our home for brighter perspectives #sciencefiction www.kickstarter.com/projects/uto...

We are now closed for general submissions, but I am still hunting for an “eco-rebellion” story that includes a fight to save Earth and puts people before profit. Eco-action meets the harsh realities of our planet’s decline. A fight for the well-being of our planet and those that call it home. 🧡🌱

We are open for submissions for the rest of the month! Send us your high-fantasy, your deep-space, your cosy murders, so long as it focuses on long-term relationships www.heartlines-spec.com/submission-g...

Trying to return to writing after being very preoccupied with life really does feel like trying to flex atrophied muscles some days. What a workout.
