Personally, we’re a massive fan of First Draft Cake.

But yeah, getting to a completed draft of a work is so worthy of celebration and so important not to take for granted.

So, how will you celebrate? #AmWriting #WriteSky

We have a sign! I do love these little tabletop scroll-up signs by Vista Print.

As yes, we have dreams! Some fun ones we hope to launch in 2026 and 2027!

IT’S PERFECT WEATHER FOR SHORTS!

Speculative Shorts, that is.

Books have arrived for our launch at @canconsffh.bsky.social in a month! Woohoo! #SFF #CanLit

There’s no generative AI in our books. Fun fact: Speculative Shorts also states plainly on the cover that the stories fell out of @caitgauthor.bsky.social‘s brain! 😃 #SFF #IndieAuthors

Here’s proof that we have a proof! We proofed the proof too!

It’s a prooftastic day!

Can’t wait to order the author copies for our launch in October! #WriteSky

I don’t know what it is, but I love little pins. Got a pin maker, and I’m having fun with it! #Crafts

Em dashes, like anything, should be used in moderation. Check first with your editor if em dashes are right for you. 😉

I’ve been an editor for years, and even I have to sometimes take a moment to figure out how to conjugate the verbs lie and lay.

And that’s no lie!

Fun fact! @bgordonauthor.bsky.social has completed the first draft of his steampunk fantasy, A Clockwork Spider, so we had to have First Draft Cake!

At Dinsdale Press, we firmly believe in celebrating all the wins… with dessert. 😇

How do you celebrate first drafts, #AuthorSky? #SFF
