Sydney’ @sydboll.bsky.social is the real deal and knows how to tell a horrifying fiction story in addition to her excellent nonfiction work. Plus gore! As an editor, it always brings me such joy to see writers who come through MANOR @manorhq.com starting in infancy and... 1/2

one of the things i love about writing is that the more i write, the more i want to... it's like running. it may be difficult to start, but once i'm on the run, i cannot imagine stopping. #writing

Every spring, a chapel’s congregation meets in a forest grove and waits for the ritual to begin… REGENERATION: A FOLK HORROR NOVELLETTE By Sydney Bollinger @sydboll.bsky.social Arrives June 8, 2026. Order your copy today! ➡️ www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYZ9T5T6

I wrote a novelette! Regeneration follows the experience of sisters Mina and Leanne as they prepare for the Regeneration, an annual fertility ritual involving the women of their community. Release date is June 8 💫

Started this thing with a pseudonym, and now not only is my name out there, my picture is too... 🫣 I try to keep myself out of it, but this seemed like too good of an opportunity to pass up to maybe get some eyeballs on all of the wonderful stories we publish.

I wrote a folk horror novelette! Regeneration will be out June 8, but preorders for the kindle edition are available now. I was invited to participate in a tarot-themed collection of short stories/novelettes with a group of indie authors, and am so excited to release this story.

But there’s never been a better time to subscribe and become a Patron Saint of Foofaraw to get all of our books in print. https://foofaraw.press/#/portal/signup

With another streaming service announcing a subscription price increase today, sounds like it's prime time to get a library card. Come to Kanopy for a catalog of over 30,000+ titles, available without ads or subscriptions through participating libraries. Go to www.kanopy.com to get started.

people who have written a book... how do you figure out the middle? I have a general outline and am able to write the beginning and thr climax through the end, but feel lost in the rising action of it all.

ready to make some zines, restart my substack, and finish my novella draft... will the energy fizzle out? only time will tell (yes, probably)

Finishing up revisions on Death Wish, vol. 2, so it will be ready for Charleston Zine Fest on July 9. So much new material for this one & I'm excited to share it -- and work on the design.

I got stung by a fire ant yesterday and one of the worst parts is I have to take Benadryl to combat the itchiness and burning sensation... but now I'm too sleepy to write! #amwriting

print zines are here! physical rewards will be filled starting this week. all proceeds from this zine go to a local arts charity 🌈🖍️ menshevixen.itch.io/fugitive-color

Ok, so I have a memoir project, a novel revision, and a novel first draft I'm working on. Any advice from the #writercommunity on how to manage multiple projects at once? Do you pick one and stick with it? Work on each based on some kind of regular schedule? Just vibe out? #amwriting #writing

I am working on a couple of book projects and finally decided to give Scrivener a try and, oh my god, this is so much easier than the messy Google Docs system I was trying to use. #amwriting

My partner, who does endurance sports, has longer training sessions in the summer, which means I have longer writing sessions! In the fall/winter, I find myself "squeezing in" writing around life responsibilities and peak running training for autumn races. #HorrorWritersChat

Hi - I'm Sydney/Syd. I'm currently working on a memoir about running & mental health and a queer YA/NA crossover about ghosts and hauntings. I'm drawn to horror b/c it gives me the space to think about and process the dark things I experience with major depressive disorder. #HorrorWritersChat
