TLDR: I fucking loved it. A brilliant contemporary love story and transition story all rolled into one
With a heavy boot left hanging above the floor, ready to drop in the next book.

CR: How to Fly (When You Fell from Heaven book 1) by Alyson Greaves.
This is my 3rd Alyson Greaves book and I’m frankly scandalized that her work is not in every bookstore in the world.
She’s a generational talent.

Competitions like this need to be called out, so they learn their good reputation shouldn't be used to steal the bread from writers' mouths. And that we're not all clueless rubes waiting to be taken advantage of.

Venerable magazine Harper's Bazaar is running its short story contest again, with the winner receiving "the chance" of publication in the magazine. Just one catch: per the wording of the guidelines, _just by entering_ you transfer copyright ownership of your story to Harper's parent, Hearst. 1/3

All magic is fuelled by the binding of souls. The binding of human souls is forbidden.
Nadezhda, however, comes to suspect the quiet and well armoured dame knight she has fallen for may be a walking example of such forbidden magic.

Hideous licensing agreement from Red Ogre Review, but what really jumps out at me is the moral rights waiver
Red Ogre (@ogre.red) gets rights to your work upon *submission*.
And those rights are ridiculous. They can change your work, not credit you, use your work for advertising, or put it in an anthology.
Don't submit to this one, folks.

"I was told you're a monster," the hero said.
"So they say," said the monster.
"But you're beautiful!"
"Thank you."
"Have you always been a monster?"
"Heh. I was a young maiden. But I did something forbidden."
"And became a monster?"
"Got named a monster."
"What did you do?"
