Unfortunately due to lower book sales, the coming uncertainty in the US and budget issues, I am reluctantly putting the "Mmeory" open call for spring of 2025 on hold for now. I'll update everyone in a few months with any news. Apologies for those working on submissions already.

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

Uhhh, hi! It's me, Bookshop.org, a place to buy books online where every purchase financially supports indie bookstores instead of some billionaire.

I'm doing this! Parsec meeting Nov 16.
Triangulation: Dark Hearts is open for short story and poetry submissions about women anti-heroes.
We’ve received a number of fantasy and horror pieces. We want science fiction, too. We love anything speculative, but right now sci-fi is a less competitive genre.

Yup. As a small indie publisher I love my fellow indie publishers: @bourbonpenn.bsky.social @neonhemlock.bsky.social @seizethepress.bsky.social @tenebrouspress.bsky.social @thedeadlands.com @oldcharliebrown.bsky.social @psychopomp.bsky.social and more. Check 'em out! Show them some love.
One lesson I've taken from this industry is to be wary of creators who are only excited about themselves and their own work. I want you to love what you make! But what other writers set your imagination on fire? Who else do you celebrate? Who do you show up for?

I'm excited to be driving from Pittsburgh to Reading, PA to go to the IX Art Show today. I follow some amazing artists on Bluesky who will be showing art there. It will be awesome to finally see your work in person.

Good advice.
My "reading as a writer" formula that hasn't failed me yet is this:
Read fiction to improve story.
Read poetry to improve style.
Read non-fiction to improve ideas.
