MM Schreier, author

Excited to learn that my story "Phantom Conversations" will be included in an upcoming issue of @bulletpoints.bsky.social. I don't write a lot of military fiction, but this is a #scifi tale about family, perception, and the cost of war. Glad to see it land at a good home!

Gah. My inbox is so full of predatory promoters with AI-generated bullshit about how, at the low, low price of $8 billion and my left kidney they can make my books (which they've clearly not read) instant best sellers. It's nauseating. And exhausting.

Le'sigh.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. :)

Hey creatives! Keep writing. Keep painting. Keep making music.

Art has always been a form of resistance.

Who has feminist rage & identifies as a woman? Check out this new #nonfiction #CNF #essays call at Dismantling Press.

"This call is intentionally activist. We are interested in work that is unapologetic, incisive, and impassioned—essays that treat fury as legitimate, necessary, and political."

Another acceptance. That’s 3 so far for 2026.

Here’s hoping it’s the trend for the year!

There’s something very satisfying about signing a contract for a story. Over 100 stories and it still sometimes boggles my mind that people actually pay me for my daydreams…

Me, desperately torn between getting more WRITTEN words in for 2025 vs more READ words.

TFW a random reader hunts you down to tell you how much they loved the story.

I mean, it’s totally warm & fuzzy. But also as awkward AF.

Peeps. If it was you & I froze & ghosted you, know that I *totally* love you & appreciate you reaching out. I’m just a weird duck.

Me counting publications for a Insta post: ummmmm, 131?

How did I miss celebrating the 100 milestone?

I guess I have to up my submissions game so I can celebrate 150!

Go get a copy. This is going to be great!

FMC is a baker which is all weights & fractions & ratios.

Then the otherwise confident, capable character makes a self-deprecating comment about how she’s bad at numbers.

FFS stop perpetuating the myth that women are bad at maths.

It’s. Not. Fucking. Cute.

Me not giving a fuck if a book is any good or not & downloading it IMMEDIATELY because there’s a cat in it named Freddie Purrcury.
