When your senior editor locks in… 👀
A screenshot of a text conversation. First person says “Prepare yourself. A new submission window is coming.” In the response, a person is holding out a glass saying “More wine.”

Coming up in the next few weeks: new flash fiction from @worldanvil.bsky.social (tomorrow!) and @coreyjwhite.com (Nov. 19th), as well as a new "ART of the Solar System" visual strip from Cody Schell (Nov. 12th)!

Oh, and an open submission window...

This is another of my starter packs. It's growth has been rather slowed by the fact that many of the publishers and magazines who have published me don't appear to be on BlueSky :🙁#BookSky go.bsky.app/FbCTiqm
