Weds Writer; is publishing small runs of independent mags an act of struggle? And when is it ok to steal from a small publisher's table?

#WritingCommunity
Zine writing as an act of resistance?
The Small Publishers Fair tends to be the last, or at least, the last significant event in Clod Magazine and Books' event circuit. We still have an afternoon in Luton Library on 22/11/25, but the Small Publishers Fair is the seaon's last hurrah; a big ticket event spread over two (very full) days, where we do the most business done.

12. I'm going to go with Native American voices. Our local art museum is doing an amazing exibit on Modern Anishinaabe art, so it's been on my mind lately. The anthology Don't Whistle At NIght isn't my usual fare, but it was haunting. #Bookvember #writingcommunity #writesky
The cover of the Indigenous horror anthology Never Whistle At NIght. It has a black background with extremely colorful stylized flora and fauny, including flowers with eyes for centers, floating eyeballs, a death's head moth, and a snake.

Child poverty affects 4.5 million children in the UK. This is a political choice, and one that we must not stand for.

The mainstream media aren't lying to you—they're just telling you the story that fits their angle. Read the independents. Not because they're always right, but because the truth tends to live somewhere between the official version and the one nobody's paying to promote.

The Eccentricity Advantage - Dominus Owen Markham
Why Being the Odd One Out Might Be Your Greatest Asset I've been called eccentric more times than I can count. Sometimes it's said with affection, other times with a barely concealed eye-roll. Either way, I've stopped apologising for it. Here's what I've learnt: eccentricity isn't a character flaw requiring…

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself.

Pass the hat, RTs graciously appreciated, etc.
I'm supporting Feeding America!
