Hi everyone -

A wee thread on what's happening with Riot Act 🧵👇 -

[Riot Act @riotactmag]

@jonsfain Thanks, Jon - it was my pleasure! All the best :)

[Riot Act @riotactmag]

I also hope one day to spell contributors correctly

[Riot Act @riotactmag]

More importantly, not being able to give conrtibutors the time, feedback and attention their work deserves means that I wouldn't want to continue. If we can't give people the experience they deserve, we shouldn't promise it! (3/5)

Finally, thank you so much for your submissions, your support and your creativity. Hopefully in future we can pick up again and showcase more wonderful work.

Thank you for making us laugh in 2020 - no small feat!

The site and our social media will stay up, and as all contributors were made aware upon their submissions being accepted their work is entirely their own and published on a non-exclusive basis. If you'd like your work removed from the site, just drop us an email (4/5)

Eeeeeeeee! My story with @trampset releases tomorrow. It’s a piece I know I will always be proud of. Can’t wait!

Meanwhile, gracious folks as they are, they’ve posted a shout-out to one of my earlier pieces published @riotactmag. It’s a humorous take on vanity. Give it a read?

[Riot Act @riotactmag]

We told you comedy was therapeutic! 😉 Thanks Mike - it's been great working with you!

[Riot Act @riotactmag]

@BernardPearso19 Thanks Bernard! Happy Christmas to you and yours too 😊

[Riot Act @riotactmag]

A lot of people in the UK will be having an especially tough time over the next few weeks - there's not much we can offer but if your Christmas plans have fallen through or you'll be on your own we're sending a massive hug and hope you're okay. Our DMs are open!!

[Riot Act @riotactmag]

We are! (or I am... there's only one of me!)

[Megha Nayar @meghasnatter]

@little__erin @perhappened @bedfellowsmag @CobraMag @HoneyLiterary You’ll have to check with them but as far as I know, @SampaguitaMaria, @MixedMag, @riotactmag, @CPQuarterly and @TheBitchinK are run by womxn.

[Linda McMullen @LindaCMcMullen]

Honored to have my story, 'Welcome to Your Fall 2020 Language Immersion' in @riotactmag! And yes, it's just as COVID-filled as you'd expect. #writingcommunity

@jonsfain Thanks for being part of it, Jon!
