So delighted to have a copy of the summer issue of Metachrosis Lit Mag in my hands. They were kind enough to publish my hermit crab piece about my widowed Czech Grandmother’s late-in-life boyfriend, and it feels good to honor her legacy in this inconsequential way. :) #writer #writing #author

shannonfrostgreenstein.com/2025/09/01/w... I am honored to be included in the Fall issue of @doorisajarmag.bsky.social. This flash is directly based on the 2004 Indonesian tidal wave and is, understandably, quite a downer. But the REST of the issue is gorgeous and uplifting! 🤣 #writer #author #flash

Because we all have a moral obligation to speak up. Complicity is now a crime in and of itself. I’m delighted to have my poem included in a collection that calls out injustice and fights for change. I hope you read my poetic rant! #poetry #poet #writer

Because when you pay an actual human artist to illustrate your family instead of using AI to spit out something soulless, you can actually TELL. Death to the robots. Real art lives!!!

I keep underestimating my son, and he keeps surpassing every single expectation I have ever set for him. My heart is so full. ❤️ #asd #AutismSpectrumDisorder #AutismMom #Family

Thanks to @prosetrics.bsky.social for adding my story to this absolutely beautiful glossy tome. The piece is a tale of cochlear implants and the maddening power of sound, and it couldn’t have found a better home. ❤️

Some fiction in the new Long River Review, and this magazine is so freaking pretty! Honored to grace its pages with a true-to-life story about my coworker’s friend’s cousin’s cryptic pregnancy. #writing #writingcommunity #writer #author #amwriting #fiction #shortstory

This was such fun to write. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, the title was totally the first thing to happen. 🤷♀️

Oh, f*ck THAT. After a lifetime of ballet, I feel I have the authority to say that no matter how great a robot’s turnout and feet may be, they will never be Margot Fonteyn or Julie Kent.

New publication! And this one is print only, friends. Stanchion puts out a gorgeous lit mag, and is an independent press which does SUCH good work for the Philly literary community. Don’t miss out on getting a copy of Issue 18! #philly #author #writer #writing #fiction #litmag #amwriting

Your annual reminder that I bought this collage and took it to be framed in 2013. And when the associate asked, “And where will Jesus be going?” and I replied, “…to the crucifixation, I expect?”, she was actually referring to WHERE IN MY HOUSE the collage would be hanging.
Happy Palm Sunday! 🙏
