I would really love to edit a Greek myth and folklore anthology written by Greek, diaspora and BIPOC authors. If any publishers or powers that be are listening. I’m shooting my shot.

This is your reminder! 👋 Our #StetChat about worldbuilding is today 4–5 p.m. ET | 1–2 p.m. PT. @logophilius.bsky.social @ncdiaschneebeli.bsky.social @bluecavemoth.bsky.social @magedah.bsky.social @marcellacreates.bsky.social @tanyagold.bsky.social @apastyle.bsky.social @jtillman.bsky.social

Hey Pittsburgh-area journalists! Are you looking for a newspaper gig? Do you possibly want me as a boss? We have four openings right now out there: two part-time social media creators, a full-time food and dining reporter and a full-time high school sports reporter. Threading the links below. 👇

So. Found out a year later that I am in fact allowed to talk to you about books I wrote. I’m even allowed to tell you you should buy them. I’m just not allowed to sell them like…out of my house. Jason can! So. Now that I have fully wasted a year: holy shit I have written 9 books please look

Hi! I'm Anna. I am a disabled and queer author of similarly queer and disabled YA and adult SFF. Will post a short synopsis of each, followed by representation you can expect and links where you can find that work. I will not cover every platform, but my books are available widely. Ready? Long 🧵:

Hey #querying authors 👀👀 I am officially open to queries ‼️‼️ So excited to see what lands in my inbox this month. Please submit if you think we might be a match!

I am always happy to see and hear that comicsdevices.com is being used in schools and comics-making! Nice to know my random research obsession and the time I took to design the website are achieving their purpose 🌟

Join us for our #StetChat about worldbuilding at 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT on Wednesday, Aug. 5.

The portal is open! 🕳️ We want horror stories up to 6,000 words, including flash. Originals and reprints. We pay $0.08 per word. Simultaneous submissions are accepted so long as you keep us informed. More details on our website (below).

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I've heard bad experiences from others at Shortbox before, so this does not surprise me. But it's important to go into these things with open eyes. If you were/are interested in this fair, please read this first.

#Authors: Here's a tangible reason I would not recommend using Claude (or any AI chatbot/platform) for anything to do with your writing.

Maggie Harrison Dupré@mharrisondupre.bsky.social · last wk.

NEW: A large trove of Claude-generated documents have been exposed to the web and indexed by Google. We reviewed what appear to be real medical records, the full names and phone numbers of school-aged children, and company documents marked for internal use only. futurism.com/artificial-i...

My mother, who is terrible with English idioms, every time: Does the pope shit in the woods?

(Forgets the term does a bear shit in the woods) does the rest of the Chex corporation resent the mix division?

Begging y’all to post somewhere besides substack. On my KNEES.

Today has been surprisingly full of good things 💕
