New review @strangehorizons.bsky.social!

An obscure folk band is thrust into fame in a horror novel about the perils of social media. How do you preserve creative joy in a world that commodifies art and feeds obsession?

Thanks to @danhartland.bsky.social for taming this monster of a review.

One for the weekend at SH today: @hanacarolina.bsky.social doing some proper thinking about Joey Batey’s It’s Not A Cult (@bloomsburyraven.bsky.social).

She argues that the novel’s particular “aesthetic approach … challenges the romanticisation of artists … and sensationalisation of relationships.”

It’s Not a Cult by Joey Batey

It’s Not a Cult is obsessed with mediation.

Excited to share a new flash in Literally Stories!

Burnout and modern frustrations meet ghosts. Can we truly imagine other experiences, other lives?

I'm thrilled to be the second writer published by @wilywinchesters.bsky.social 🎉❤️

The new lit mag is asking for a queer twist on classical and historical lit.

My story is a steampunk tale of innovation and erasure, forbidden love and public legacy 💔

To expand a bit:

There's a whole culture of noise around writing - cover reveals, giveaways, courting bookstagrammers, launches, awards lists, promo art - and none of it moves the needle more than a fraction.

You know who gets attention?

People who are already successful.

Just write.

CL Hellisen @clhellisen.bsky.social · Aug 11

I think the best thing a writer can do for their career is to keep reading and keep writing.

And do it for themselves, for the joy they get from their own stories.

All the rest is just spilled glitter posing as starlight.

Book 1 in my trilogy A HARD SELL is on sale - only 99 cents! When I wrote it my goal was “write the cutest cuteness I can.” Queer warm fuzzies, fake dating x 3, only one bed, it’s all there. Also perfect for gifting to a friend (or 3) who likes adorable escapism 🥰

I didn't expect to fall in love with Morgan and Kazio as much as I did, but this might be my favorite coupling of the series.

CHECK IT OUT!
