Thrilled to get first place in my group for the 1st Round of the @nycmidnight.bsky.social 500-word Fiction Challenge!🎉 It's my first time entering the contest, and it's been a lot of fun. I've just submitted my short story for the 2nd Round, and I can't wait for the feedback! #500WordChallenge2025

Thank you to @ontarioarts.bsky.social for awarding me a Recommender Grant for Writers! A special thank you to @kidscanpress.bsky.social & @owlkids.bsky.social, two incredible Canadian-owned kids book publishers, for recommending my ongoing children’s novel. It’s both validating and inspiring 🎉💛

If you're an audiobook listener consider the switch from Audible (owned by Amazon) to Libro.fm! You can even choose what independent bookstore you'd like to support with your subscription! Also check out what your library offers, most offer a free audiobook service like Hoopla or Libby!

I just learned that Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. An alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform (and yes it's really easy to transfer your lists from Goodreads to StoryGraph). You know, while we're moving things.
