I'd be grateful if you can send links for flash stories where climate change plays a role. I'd like my students to write these kinds of stories for an assignment, but I don't have many models. Thanks!

Thanks so much for reading and sharing, Dawn. 🙏

Attention! (Fun to write that, that’s all). Pleased and proud to share that my story made this fancy longlist. As you were.

Excited to share this. My feather of a story is in one of my fave journals.

Applications due in ten days!

the writing process

Hey all, if you're looking for editing and mentoring services, I've compiled this extensive list of recommendations. I can’t personally vouch for all of the writers/editors on this list, but you might find it handy. Also, let me know if you'd like to be included! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

So excited to be included in this lineup. Thanks @psmokejournal.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️ Looking forward to reading the other stories.

Love this story! Quick, worthy read.

"Before the summer girl sang, they hadn’t known they had souls, hadn’t known they could be serious." I loved this story by @eileentomarchio.bsky.social in @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social.

Ahhhh!!! I already know I'd LOVE to read 4 of these collections because I ❤️ so many of their stories. I'm guessing the authors I don't know here have stories equally as good. Congrats all, good luck, and based on my sample of 4, you're all winners and I'll keep an eye out for your collections.

"I get up when it’s still dark because, if I wait until after the Tuscan sun rises, it will be too hot to bake a cake." This shortie by @brechtdp.bsky.social in @fracturedlit.bsky.social stretched my heart. Recommended read.

Naw, thank YOU.

AAAAH!! Look, everyone! I made THE LIST! Again. SO excited. (Thank you Hugh). Oh, and if you don't subscribe to his newsletter you're missing out. Great stories (I mean, other than mine 😊), music rec's, random interesting stuff. But don't blame me if you get less work done.
