I haven’t been on here much because my day job is 5 jobs in a trench coat, so please forgive this blatant self-plug! But I found out a little bit ago that my debut short story collection was longlisted for The Story Prize. Just breathless and stunned and joyed and don’t know what to say!

Wowsers. This place is such a breath of fresh air after the former bird app. Also: it’s just nice to see an app that’s actually making literary content accessible, instead of burying it under 3 billion crypto scam tweets.

1. here's the whole thread for those who are curious 2. I said this on twitter, figured I'd repeat here — if one of you is interested and intrigued by this, but feel overwhelmed by the idea or the money, I'd be happy to help and advise in some way, could cover some web presence fees, etc.
