@mizukiyamagen.bsky.social was in my group in @smokelong.bsky.social March Micro Madness and I remember thinking how impossibly, impressively talented she is and how far her writing would go!! Just immensely satisfying to be proven right by these incredible news ☺️ Congratulations!!!

Hello!! I am overjoyed to announce my story "Between Chamisa and Rengyo" has won ✨FIRST PLACE✨ in the Smokey! Am I dreaming?! Tremendously honored to be amongst these incredible authors and stories. Super grateful to the @smokelong.bsky.social judges for seeing something special in this one. 🌿

Yay open access!!

So, this Unbound/Boundless fiasco. I was going to be polite about it, but after this morning’s email: no

We have 14 places left for external participants! Write with us this summer. It's going to be the biggest SmokeLong party yet. www.smokelong.com/a-smokelong-...

So excited to have a story in this wonderful anthology -- preorders available! Thank you @natflashfictionday.bsky.social, what an honour!

"...and it’s when she says the word that she knows we are there, that she sees us, or maybe hears the leathery slap of our wings as we fill her room and watch her,...." My lord, this remarkable piece of writing by @fionamckay.bsky.social in Ghost Parachute! 💙💙💙 ghostparachute.com/issue/may-20...

We're getting ready for a party.

My debut prose pub is out today! Grateful to @havehashad.com and @hexliterary.bsky.social for letting me share this personal piece.

Woke up to an acceptance from swamp pink today!! In utter disbelief that I get to be in such a dream mag.

Many thanks to our FlashFlood editors: @kazbarwrites.bsky.social @saraschansarkar.bsky.social @coffeeandpaneer.bsky.social @sarahillswrites.bsky.social @lunchontuesday.bsky.social @judiwalsh.bsky.social @robwaltonwriter.bsky.social @scooterwriter.bsky.social @amygcb.bsky.social & Cassandra Parkin

I'm absolutely stoked to be a part of my very first FlashFlood this year! 🌊🌊🌊 They are still open for a little while longer - get those micros in, people!

Incredibly honored my little piece "Sweet Fruit for Tired Wings" managed to trickle its way into the Flash Flood's Debut Flash Series. Thank you editors 🍓 @natflashfictionday.bsky.social

"When I was a girl, a woman in my town died in suspicious circumstances." Anyone looking for a story with a great opening and ending to teach, @fionamckay.bsky.social's got you covered!

Really grateful to past me who saved this to read when I had a clearer mind and wow, I'm once again in awe of @aniking.bsky.social. Go read it!!!

Wow
