Ahh this is me! Thank you to the judges for seeing so much in my little story and to my writing friends who critiqued it out of first draft mediocrity πŸ¦„ I think a writer is only as good as their #WritingCommunity and I wouldn't be here without them

Featuring dark prophetic dreams; defiant hope; the grief of losing family, culture, stories; genderbent Aeneas and Anchises; a post-climate-collapse future where the classical world-ocean becomes a grim reality... aaand lesbians. wrote this w/a concussion hope it makes sense 😭

I'm proud of this book & its writers. I'm proud to be in it. I'm proud of the editorial team, their compassion, good humor, & encouragement. My story, a retelling of Aeneid Book 4, comes from my Latin-love (gratias tibi ago, Magistra!) & the loss I feel as a mixed NDN woman

Oh I should add... I'm in this with a soft near-future fantasy about a spirit welder binding the souls of extinct animals to scrap metal recreations to give them a second life ❀ Please consider giving it a read

Haha what the hell I just went viral on TikTok without downloading TikTok. Thanks to the magic of ✨️ story thieves ✨️ It is surreal and cool and semi-annoying to have my reddit full of comments on an oldddd series from that. Moral of the story: don't steal but thanks??

Saw Smile yesterday and it was good cheesy-body-horror fun until (spoilers) the takeaway message that you'll never overcome your trauma and it'll ultimately kill you and ruin your loved ones' lives. That was... a thematic choice πŸ˜‚πŸ€•

Nothing like getting rejected by a SF editor who thinks Enceladus isn't in our solar system πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­ One of those "do I laugh or cry?" moments The most frustrating part of this job: you can't control what obvious shit a reader doesn't know ❀️
