Iffff there's anyone still here - the flash fiction contest is restarting, over on Bluesky. Meet me outside @microwrites.bsky.social in ten minutes for an ass kicking.

QUESTION!

Would it be stupid to put out a call for Issue Three now? I'm just looking at how long it takes to put out an issue, wondering if it's sensible to get started on the next so we might have two issues this year?

[microwrites @microwrites_]

@howlieT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YES

I only finished mine last week so ...

[microwrites @microwrites_]

Not too late, btw, to submit a story. Just saying, like, if you're interested still.

[microwrites @microwrites_]

Next step of the zine - editing! Please get in touch if you're able to help with this step of the process (I forget how I asked last time, imagine I'm doing as well as before). Thank you!

[microwrites @microwrites_]

If you, yes you. That's right YOU would like to be in the next issue of the zine, and therefore on Amazon if that's the sort of thing you'd like, check out the submissions guidance and get writing on the theme of THE SEA before the month is out! https://t.co/u17AQIYl4v

Bad place to buy it, but maybe a good place to drop a little review for your old pal @microwrites_ https://t.co/bxfOEZM2Ig

GOOD NEWS: You have a whole entire month to write and submit your piece for microwrites issue two

BAD NEWS: that month is February.

[microwrites @microwrites_]

@notmoro THAT'S RIGHT

[microwrites @microwrites_]

You absolutely can and should do this. And AND it's my birthday, so wouldn't that be nice for me?

[microwrites @microwrites_]

THEY'RE HERE

[microwrites @microwrites_]

@notmoro Oh no, no funny stuff.

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT

Dan Melis

Slightly unusual in that Dan is a debut writer BUT I can tell you he ALREADY has the first story in issue two and it is an absolute *banger*. I can only advise you to familiarise yourself with his work in issue one https://t.co/PT4OZLVALa

[microwrites @microwrites_]

Enjoy Evie's story? She has no fewer than THREE pieces in microwrites issue one, on sale here (discount code CIDER10), and is the ONLY other person to have an illustration in it too https://t.co/TsoAGwwLvL

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT

Evie Ephraims @Maggie_Dolores

A *prolific* contributor, essentially co-editor on the zine and if that's not enough a talented writer. I've picked a story out with a pin, and it's good. As you'd expect https://t.co/U8UAr9XBQP

[microwrites @microwrites_]

Ifffffff you like this story, read my spiritual follow-up in microwrites issue one, available here with 10% off using the code CIDER10 https://t.co/TsoAGwwdGd

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT

Thom Willis @ManOnThe100

Ah shit it's ya boy - me. Well I'm probably not the person to write this but here we are. Ok so, this story from 2019 acts as a prelude to the story in the zine. Either that or I have no new ideas.

[microwrites @microwrites_]

You know what's coming - if you like Betty's story she's also published right here in the first microwrites zine.

Would you like 10% off? Sure why not, use the code CIDER10 and you've got it! https://t.co/TsoAGwwdGd

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT

Betty Anne Noir @BarzhDu

First of all, criminally underfollowed. Secondly, though Betty has only written for microwrites once before, she already has a strong author voice. Playful, arch, slightly exasperated with the world: https://t.co/JIhkoSlA7A
