Venerable magazine Harper's Bazaar is running its short story contest again, with the winner receiving "the chance" of publication in the magazine. Just one catch: per the wording of the guidelines, _just by entering_ you transfer copyright ownership of your story to Harper's parent, Hearst. 1/3

ICYDK, publishing is in a decline. Many authors who have had dependable contracts in the past are now scrambling to make ends meet and seeing lower advances and fewer sales than ever. If you see lots of book publicity posts, it's because we're scared and trying to keep our jobs during The Horrors.

I watched The Pitt on the plane on the way to Toronto and literally me in some scenes because I didn't want to scar anyone for life lol 😅
(It's not available over here so I wasn't about to pass the chance!)
Happy The Pitt premiere day!

Amazon is scraping online shops, even if they have never sold on Amazon, and putting up listings on their search. Stores like mine. Don't buy my shit on Amazon, it's stolen data and there's no way to opt out

Stock and prices are wrong too
