Good morning from the pages of The Best American Mystery Stories 2019 @hmhbooks #BestAmerican2019 Endless gratitude to @DownAndOutBooks for originally publishing "A Damn Fine Town." Look how far we've come :) https://t.co/Sa4iCDyTa7

. @redividermag is open for submissions of fiction, flash, poetry, personal essays, and more until May 1. "Mon Petit Chou" by Meg Mullins was my favorite flash fiction piece they recently published

Speculative fiction has many functions. Sometimes it's just escapist, and that's okay-no judgement. But sometimes the best way to think about the problems and tensions of your life or your society is to contemplate them on a different planet. Distance can strangely bring clarity.

Enjoyed this clever, flash fantasy "Blood, Bone, and Water” by Ash Huang. Free to read https://t.co/USYy8boPb5 #amsubmitting to @OrionsBeltMag

with shout outs to @TheMysterious @oldrutigliano @DebbieBabitt @joebrosnan_ @KenJaworowski @kristenloesch @amychua @LisaScottoline @LindaCastillo11 @thewritinghippo; thanks for the camaraderie & all the great reading!

Read the charming "The Story of Ennui" by Douglas Watson in @EcotoneMagazine and #amsubmitting hybrid work for their Valentine's Day reading period closing tonight!

Swept up by this Bay Area story from Issue 50 of Washington Square Review. Read "Droughts" by Lillian Giles https://t.co/XnS4DHHb76 It inspired me to submit one of my own for the next issue of @on_squ! #amsubmitting cc: @arleysorg @effies @shivzb

Dear writers, editors, publishers...Please do not add people to your newsletters without their permission. It's annoying and overbearing. Let subscribers come to you and sign up because they choose to. Thank you.

Well that wasn’t so hard! 😉 Actually, it was BY FAR the hardest thing I’ve ever put myself through!!! 🤯 But what an education!! And it feels like a successful sociological experiment as I can literally claim to have found kindness and support from people in EVERY COUNTRY IN
