Sometimes, as acquiring/commissioning editor, my only wish for people who want to submit to the venue:

Read the magazine/journal/lit mag you are submitting.

Get a feel/tone of it. Otherwise, you will be sending something that doesn't really fit their vibe.

The dude in the record shop where I spent half my teens (RIP Langland Records 🫗) used to give us the odd bit of promo stuff. One day he said, "I've got a load of Babylon Zoo posters, do you want some?" We sort of politely grimaced and said no thanks. He sighed and said, "yeah, no one does..."

Absolutely love this post. Another example why we need to study history from the bottom up, not necessarily top down.

Always and forever: going looking for the murderer. There was a Rob Newman bit about it in the *90s* It's not Hide & Seek, they're not gonna say "fair cop, you found me!"

If you hear a creepy noise, STAY THE FUCK PUT.

If it starts getting closer, GTFO

Do not go looking for the murderer.

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

If there isn't, can we call it "A Clovis" in honour of Sleepwalkers (1992), which mistakenly believes it's about Madchen Amick being targeted by immortal, incestuous soul...vampire...cat...things. but is actually about how a cat called Clovis becomes sheriff of a small town?
