People. It's time. These aren't just your writerly gold stars for the month but for the whole entire year. Tag yourself, share your star, print it off and staple it to your forehead.
So. How's it been?

MAYBE it’ll be your gem of a story in our submissions tray … seeing as it’s our editor’s lucky day …
I’ve been up since 7am and in that time I’ve won a book, a neighbour bought round a bottle of Bucks Fizz to say thanks for the loan of a thing AND I found an old book token so bought another book from Blackwell’s for a mere £3.01.
Interested to see what the rest of day holds … 🤞🤞

I know I’m bombarding you with stories but proud of the diversity. One aching epic space tragedy, one sliver of painful nostalgia & now this darkly comic anti-colonial murder romp romance set -again- in Myanmar, a country that obsesses me. Thank you NFFF! So many great writers sharing these pages!

Love this piece of defiant cakey love “Then you licked the smear of jam off my nose as I kissed your softness to my tongue.” @joycebingham.bsky.social in @neitherfishnorfoul.com 🧡🧡🧡🎂
A cake story born in @writershq.bsky.social a while ago, but it only found its true voice last year. Delighted to share this issue with so many wonderful cakes, I mean stories.
The first story I accepted for this issue. Classic cake, unexpected setting and a delicacy of touch at one with the lightness of a Victoria Sponge. Dare you not to be moved.
