BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: Tex Gresham & KKUURRTT are officially joining the RL catalog with their joint novel, POP! — a wonderfully insane, beautifully grotesque, and magnificently disturbed exploration of pop culture and mass-produced art. Dropping Nov. 28, 2025.

Writing a short story is not easy. Writing a short-short story effectively is nearly impossible. @emilylauracosta hits the target perfectly in this piece. No matter where you live, you’ve experienced the sentiment of these anonymous characters. Well done, ELC!

This story is a personal fav and it couldn't have found a better home than @rejectionlit. Check it out.

"He’d see me and Sam at the same time, even after we were too old for it. We didn’t question anything. It made perfect sense, appealed to the childhood need for symmetry, fairness." New fiction from @LeoVartorella! https://t.co/tCz3waAUHZ

Predators abound in “Girl on Girl”. Some come at you mentally, others physically. Both are dangerous and damaging. Beautifully designed story, @emilylauracosta.

an excerpt from our new book

Good gawd. The truth of “Playdate” hits hard. I absolutely loathe this type of parent. So much so that I rarely wanted to attend playdate sessions because I knew how the conversation was going to unfold with the other dads. @emilylauracosta you perfectly captured this experience.

.@emilylauracosta starts the collection off with a solid offering that begs the question: Who is the Glow Stick Girl? Perhaps this is the question that keeps me from attending any class reunions. This story is quietly disturbing & honest & a reflection of so many lives.

Super excited to read this collection of stories from @emilylauracosta. Get a copy from @rejectionlit.

Good morning. I wrote some poetry and the people at @frwell_trans were kind enough to publish it. I hope it makes you cry, but only in the way that you like it. https://t.co/ZUWONbYyLf

fun fact: most of these are legitimate playlists we have & we just needed to find each other & put them in order for it all to make sense 💛

GOOOOOOGLE GUYZZZZ

“Even their lingerie looks limp after a call with you and, well, in our world, limp is bad for business.” the number of times i legitimately smirked while reading this one! 🔥 @FemmeInTheory

When I read this sub I thought, you know what, I wish every rejection I got was just like this. Editors, be more like @macy_skov!

Super excited to share that I have a piece for Rejection Week! Still working on the flightless dragon story, however.

DAY 5 OF #REJECTIONWEEK WE ARE LOOKING FOR @macy_skov! “Unfortunately, this isn’t what I’m looking for. To be brutally honest, I’m looking for this story that came to me in a dream last year.” https://t.co/9yZUUYvFmY

"Even their lingerie looks limp after a call with you and, well, in our world, limp is bad for business." My wife @FemmeInTheory is so insanely talented. Check out her new piece "DEAR CALLER" about men who are bad at phone sex. Up today at @rejectionlit https://t.co/zhoN0k1T2Y

This piece is so fucking funny. I was cackling as I accepted it for RL. @FemmeInTheory is so talented.

DAY 4 OF #REJECTIONWEEK BELONGS TO @FemmeInTheory! Better answer her call! ☎️ 🥵 “The thing is, Caller, we have just had too many cam girls complaining about your utter incompetence at human interaction to allow you to continue utilizing our services.” https://t.co/wmQyyrobq3
