#PeelingApples is about love, grief, & the small acts of care that shape us. It’s about memory & the things we inherit. It’s about something that happens so slowly you don’t see it until it’s done. It’s real. It’s mine. And soon, it’ll be yours too. More on the book here: shorturl.at/Ia3nw

Now waiting on advance praise for my novella—a piece of literary fiction that moves at its own pace. Exciting (and nerve-wracking) times ahead! #WritingCommunity #LiteraryFiction #PeelingApples #DebutNovella @darkwinterlitmag.bsky.social

This is going to be very cool. A bio and links to every artist we've ever published is being created (you'll have to sign up to be included). It's going to be a place you'll want to be found!

Finally—after months, nay years—we are putting the finishing touches on the back end of the website. Soon, we’ll be rolling out a complete directory of every creator who has ever appeared in our online features or print publications. The #Author&ArtistDirectory is imminent. Watch this space.

🚨 WARNING: Do NOT read the footnotes! 🚨 (Seriously. They’ve gone rogue.) @robwaltonwriter.bsky.social book is a riotous collection of stories where footnotes argue, logic unravels & crisp packets cause dilemmas. Great for fans of Horrible Histories & Terry Pratchett. 🎉 @theemmapress.bsky.social

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.
