Hey, friends! I will have one more slot opening for developmental edits starting this Monday.

Flash, poetry, or short story (with a strong focus on characterization, symbolism, and inner symmetry). All genres welcome!

Let me know! 💜🌌

Since leaving Twitter, I've been really struggling to reach readers and connect with others in the writersphere. I feel like I must just do social media all wrong 🙃 So yeah, if you're a horror reader looking for new books, please check mine out and share! And other writers, hi, let's be friends!

Hey! The bug book is cheaper on our website than it is on the Zon. And if you buy directly from us, we get more than a buck fifty per sale. And we don't put our workers in danger. And we pay taxes. And we promise not to buy something you love only to destroy it.
