Hello, friends! We’re back from our little hibernation period with an announcement: we’re leaving social media. (At least for now!)

[Sword & Kettle Press @swordandkettle]

Today’s the day! Thank you so so much for all of your support on this platform over the years. We’ve enjoyed meeting you and connecting with you in this space, and we hope to keep it going in our Discord and in your inbox!

We’re signing off. Take care! 💕

Before we go, we do want to share a (very belated) piece of news! Back in the fall, we nominated these eight incredible writers for the 2022 Best of the Net awards for their wonderful work in Corvid Queen.

You might be wondering: what are we going to do with all the time we’re not spending on Twitter??

[Sword & Kettle Press @swordandkettle]

We also hope to get started on some new projects! We are so excited to announce that we’re a recipient of a Massachusetts Cultural Recovery Grant. Some of those grant funds are helping us print New Cosmologies, but some of them will be set aside for future opportunities.

I have a thing about Little Red Riding Hood. This tale was the subject of my first fairy tale poem, the first professionally published, and many others. I'm delighted that "Her Inside," my latest LRRH poem, will be forthcoming on Corvid Queen from @swordandkettle!

Good start of April, got an acceptance from @swordandkettle for my story 'River Home' for their Corvid Queen website, so keep an eye out for that👀

ICYMI, we’re leaving Twitter!
