My pandemic scrapbook is free on Amazon for a few days. It reads best on a tablet or phone. Give it a go? Could be fun for your commute to work today?

Note: because this chapbook is so image-heavy, it looks best on phones and tablets

Perhaps I should clarify, it's a total stranger! She read my zine and loved it and I am over the moon!
Holy Toledo, I put a digital #zine of images and #poetry about my pandemic experience in #sanfrancisco on Amazon kindle just for kicks and not only did someone read it but they gave me a legit 4 star review, I am so pleased someone out there read it! www.amazon.com/San-Francisc...

Hey everyone: If you're in Sydney, and if you're a speculative fiction writer, there's still some spaces left for various sessions at our Speculative Writing in Focus at Chatswood Library. Can I also ask y'all to share this widely? RSVP here: libraries.willoughby.nsw.gov.au/Events-and-p...

Feeling quite proud to have qualified for Associate Membership to SFWA after five years of writing. I don’t know how far I will get in my lifetime but I feel like I have passed a threshold and it’s really meaningful to me to belong to a professional organization like this.
This is the best thing I have seen today, thank you.

"go indie" is the new "pull yourself up by your bootstraps"
Well, I just made my first book purchase inspired by Bluesky. I had a peek at the Amazon preview of the first couple pages and found myself unable to stop reading. That’s a good sign…
That is a good-looking sky.
