Writer-friends! Does music move you to write? Do you like interesting prompts? Do you want to do a cool thing that'll be in print? If yes, you should have a gander at the submission call for 13Tracks Mag Issue 2: 13tracks.com/proposal-form I'm in issue 1 and it's one of the coolest things I've done.

Do any of the authors dealing with the Unbound/Boundless situation have any horror short stories (<6000 words) in their catalogue anywhere, whether directly linked to Unbound or not? If so, please get in touch! Please share! 🦑

I do a lot of IP work, and this is a great thread. Note that many publishers also have in-house IP - it's worth giving your agent a heads up if you'd like to be considered for this type of work.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.
