Sadly, my space doggo story was not accepted for the 'Pod. So I submitted my more classic SF story "A Drop of Rain" instead. We'll see if they like that one better. #AmWriting #IndieAuthor #BookSky #AmSubmitting

Hey. A top 5 placing in the Gemini magazine short story competition.

Not quite Fiontan Conquers America, but it still feels pretty cool

I'm happy to announce that I'm the new associate editor of the sf section at @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social.

So I'm open to good review/essay pitches that fit LARB's audience. I've been quietly doing this for a few weeks and already commissioned some things I'm excited for you to read!

A new writing first for me happened over the weekend. Sending a submission in through the post! As a big fan of the USPS and letter writing I enjoyed it.

Something to keep in mind.
#writingcommunity #amsubmitting #ampublishing
One thing new clients don't expect is how the deal points and contract negotiation can take. It can takes several months even with a boilerplate with your agency. I had a client wait four months just to get the contract because the publisher was rewriting their contract and we had a boilerplate.

Trying to wean myself off that other horrible platform. I’ll be keeping this account literary and writerly (with occasional art stuff). Engage with me on those topics please. #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting #litmags #amsubmitting

I’ve published books, signed clients, spoken at conferences…
…and I still open a blank doc and think, “What if this is the one that proves I have no idea what I’m doing?”
You’re not alone.
