With under 60hrs to go, I'm afraid I'm going to be pretty insufferable with updates. We're more than 70% to our next stretch goal of more interior art. After that, we have goals for more word count (up to 150K!) and a second translated story. If we hit all 3 quick I can leave you alone! :) Back now!

Yeah…I think I’ll just continue to support our Canadian dairy farmers.

Help us fund this magical @starsandsabers.bsky.social book and get great perks in return!

We already knew Neil Gaiman was a scumbag, but here's new info just in case anyone still needed convincing. www.vulture.com/article/neil...

Hi SFWA colleagues, It occurred to me that you only have around a week and a half to snag a copy of Benny Ramírez and the Nearly Departed from the Nebula Voter Packet, and I hope you will do so!

I’m one of the “and mores” 😂. Excited to be included.

💀 Calling all women and nonbinary horror writers! We’ve got something special brewing just for you. Submissions will be opening soon for a future project (think 2026-2027), and we can’t wait to spotlight your voices...

I’ve started blocking anyone I see using it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Voted and went to see Sinners. All in all a good afternoon. ❌🧛🏻

Just finished reading this myself and truly loved it. Check it out.

With one week left to go, we're funded and closing in on stretch goal #8: interior artwork! We're already 30% of the way to that goal--can we make it 50% by the weekend??? Follow the link below to get the book and all the stretch goals now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/kot...

I haven’t been online all that much lately because I’m trying to be good and actually write. But I gather there’s been more bullshit against trans people and people with autism. Just to be clear: my world is richer for having trans and autistic people in it. I am 💯% supportive of them. Fuck bigots!

UK readers! THE LIGHTHOUSE HAS A UK COVER! Look at its beauty! Yes it’s got a doggie on it that the US cover doesn’t have and I keep trying to explain to my irl floof he’s on an international book, but he just keeps asking for breakfast. @panmacmillan.bsky.social @zenoagency.bsky.social

I’ve had a very productive writing day indeed. 🙂

Update! We will be closing to submissions on April 30, 2025. Right now, we have 1,000 submissions pending, so we are going to close while we get caught up. We will re-open once we have gotten through our pile. Thank you to all the strange authors that have trusted us with your work.
