Hello, all. Because of the entry system screw up last night and we're a little low on entries, we'll reopen for 24 hours as soon as we can make it happen on Monday morning, so you have the weekend to get your entry ready, and we'll announce Monday when we're open! Share?!

On the 1st of January, the #Curae prize for writer-carers opens for a second time. The demise of twitter is making it harder to get the word out, so do share! thecuraeprize.uk There are around 7 million unpaid carers in the UK alone & Curae shines a light on the role & much more. #carers #writing

Had a handful of homophobic/transphobic messages here today because I’ve created a Starter Pack supporting LGBTQIA+ writers.

Please follow and share this pack to help keep Bluesky the positive place it promises to be.

Lots of new followers and connections on here so I’m sharing my highlight of the year - discovering my cat sleeping in an old doll‘s pram inside a wardrobe. The urge to push her around was strong…

Please, if you are able, support Indy publishers.

As the big 5 buy up all the book shelves with their astronomic discounting.

It would be grand if you could look at.

I'm looking for Creative Writing academics - do you know any here?
I made a Starter Pack for those I've spotted already, but I know there must be many more (and my list skews female right now!).
Reply to be added (or taken off, of course). Thanks!

Because tedious tasks are my therapy right now: are you a short fiction writer (flash or short stories only, please) publishing in litmags or aspiring to? I'd like to make a starter pack of short story and flash people! Comment here and please share for visibility #writingcommunity

New here and enjoying finding lots of lovely book people to connect with. Hoping to this can be equal parts distraction and inspiration - because I definitely need a bit of both!
