These readings are always a wild ride - a humorous story will be followed by one that rips your guts out and then followed by one that will give you nightmares and finishes on a charming middle grade fantasy chaser. You just never know! #SWSWQR

You all made my life hard and it was awesome. Do it again next year, too. 🫀

So... big news. The Shirley Jackson submission call has been so overwhelmingly excellent that our editor, Jolie Toomajan, decided that there was no way we could cut this down into a single issue.

Expect a new anthology from us sometime next spring!

I recently found had more time on my hands than I had planned. I'm an ESL teacher and many students were on vacation.
Don't get me wrong, time is a wonderful thing to have as a writer, but as the saying goes, time is money.
I'd appreciate some likes and reposts to help me out. 🧵
