Truly a dream to see FAMOUS MEN WHO NEVER LIVED in paperback. I'm so lucky! Imagine making something up and having the privilege of seeing it in the world as a physical object, and then hearing that other people connected with it.

the literary genre spanning job cover letters, residency project proposals, and individual funding applications is called auto-fanfiction

harsh writing advice:

dracula is public domain so he should be in what you’re writing

[CRIT @CRITWorks]

seems illogical and unfair that adding and deleting words is writing but opening and closing a word doc isn't??

[mattie lubchansky @Lubchansky]

[Julian K. Jarboe @JulianKJarboe]

If a call for submissions has a deadline that's midnight tonight (such as several I am regrettably going to miss) I get what that's going for but that is a huge mistake. Everything gets an automatic January 4th extension, bare minimum, for everyone's sake, like come on.

[Neon Hemlock Press @neonhemlock]

And if you're a writer, we're accepting submissions to the anthology until Jan 15th. 8¢/word. <6000 words.

Sling salt in a circle, call the corners, and breathe life into the unutterable cadences that call forth the void.

Full guidelines here: https://t.co/DFwVB1ciSg

Do you have an audio file? Are you an audiophile? Whichever applies to you, head to https://t.co/mCFIMhXt5Y and send us your finest MP3s, MP4s, and WAVs!

[Julian K. Jarboe @JulianKJarboe]

Telling as a form of showing something else is basically how unreliable narrators work-- also why so many of those are first person, which is actually distancing rather than intimate-- and it's just a matter of knowing what choices you're making for the text and why. It's fine!
