The season of change reminds us that stories, too, evolve, drafts turn to books, ideas to worlds. 🍂
Writers, what’s something in your writing life you’re ready to “let fall” this season, a fear, a bad habit, or a story that no longer serves you?

Autumn is the season of change, why not let your draft go through a little transformation too?
Quick edit tip: cut back on filler words like really, just, suddenly. Your writing will feel sharper instantly.
When you’re ready for a deeper polish, I help authors edit with care. 😎

Author of Slide-Backers: An essay of the experiences of the cohort of delusional time travellers

It’s the oldest story in the world; Girl gets boy, girl dumps boy, then girl gets boy back when the universe develops a glitch in the spacetime continuum.

The moon calls, and the wild answers. In countless books, the wolf howling at the full moon is pure literary magic.

What's your favorite book with a powerful wolf or moonlight scene?

It's my book's bday! The last piece of #WildforAusten goes into place tonight at its launch at Changing Hands Phx. There are so many to thank. I'll be expressing gratitude over the coming days. Today it feels right to thank #JaneAusten for inspiring so many of us to read, watch, argue, laugh & love.

So grateful for this review of World By Design from JG MacLeod!! It's such a wonderful feeling when you get a review from someone you admire. #WritingCommunity #Poets #Poetry #Poems #Authors
I was in awe as I read Norb Aikin’s poetry collection, World By Design. This isn’t my first ‘rodeo’ with Norb; I’ve read many of his poems before, but what strikes me every time I DO read his work is the natural beauty and perfect arrangement of the words on the page. Its FORM impresses me. When specific words flow from one line to the next, they resonate within me – so much so, I sometimes wonder how interconnected humans are in experiences of pain, longing, resilience, and hope. A perfect example is, “while I’m simply carrying/ too much, and someday I’ll break from it/ before I’m able to wake from it.” I can feel the weight in the words and they capture that feeling of suffocation many of us experience. How can I read lines like “I can't keep a thought in one place in my head”, “it’s the facing each day with self-imposed punishments”, or “’Why am I like this?’“ and not see myself, or people I’ve known, in them? And therein lies the hidden truth: the quiet simplicity of Aikin’s art on the page, recalling, rejoicing, and restoring what the poet might have been, what the reader can still become – a complete catharsis by the end of the ‘confessional’. If you enjoy other lyrical writers – Leonard Cohen comes to mind – you will love “Pocket Annie” and "Enablist". Both Aikin and Cohen use words to capture the existential emptiness and yearning for human connection that drives all of us. What does ‘I love you’ even mean? That’s a good question. Younger readers might identify similar themes to Billie Eilish’s haunting struggles with depression and loneliness in the pages of this book. The line, “she doesn't know what it is, just that it is…” captures this hidden vulnerability. World By Design deserves to be read more than once. Ponder each line. Let them twist around inside your head until they reach your heart and hopefully, find a place to rest.

ARCANE X SHADOW & BONE

The heir to a dark planet plots revenge against the ruling pyromancy cult with help from a girl with star power and a lovable alchemist

🔥17th Cen Science Meets 20th Cen Tech
🔥Chronic Pain Rep
🔥Queer as the Norm
🔥Found Family

#PosterPit #Q #YA #SF #F
A fake movie poster titled "The Promise of Darkness." The background is gray with a faded image of the stars from NASA overlaid with alchemical illustrations from the 1600s. A more prominent rectangular image of the stars is at center with triangles depicting the three main characters. One is of a young White woman who is conjuring fire in her hands. The second is a of a young man with brown skin and long dark brown hair pulled back as he looks off in the distance. The third is of a young white man with glasses and short hair looking up. Text reads: chronic illness rep, dystopian sff, celestial and science magic, and friends to lovers above the images. Below, text reads: One will rule. One will burn. One will change everything. Now querying in inboxes everywhere. From the producer of "being personally victimized by the show ARCANE, and the director of "ready to throw hands for every woman in Star Wars" comes an epic tale of rebellion, magic, and love.
