Although I’m gleefully rubbing my hands together like a fly at getting historical fiction as my assigned genre, I see a lot of scarily talented names also in my group. Might be the end of the road for me 🫡

Thank you! It’s on the NYCM forum master list if you can find it amongst the hundreds of others 😅

First place, baby! 🏆 I’m stoked to get another group win with my bittersweet ghost story “Living, Baby!”

‘I overheard one esteemed editor at the edge of our group ask another what they thought of the latest Rebecca Yarros novel. Both of them had read—and enjoyed—the entire juggernaut trilogy. They spoke with neither irony nor surprise, and although their delight wasn’t entirely uncritical (they are editors, after all), it was genuine—and unabashed.’ – Kate Whitfield

Managed to crack the top 10 for the first time in @twistinthetale.bsky.social for my third round story “Are You a Parking Ticket?”, which got a clean sweep of ’most heartfelt‘ trophies, amongst others. ❤️
Also clawed my way onto the final leaderboard—20th overall! 🥳

CYCLES — VOLUME 3 | PDF to Flipbook Volume 3 of Juniper Zine's Issue #02.. PDF to flipbook converted using heyzine.com

A story I wrote a while back for @twistinthetale.bsky.social is now published over a gorgeous three page spread in Juniper Zine!
“A Well-Travelled Gardener’s Guide to Native Australian Flowers” is a subtexty 300 word story that got me lost in 1800s floriography archives to pull it all off. 🌸🌼

My story "Bodega Cats" made that sweet, sweet longlist! Thank you @twistinthetale.bsky.social for liking my little story about Muffin the pickpocketing cat 😸

Today another person called my writing "delicious". I might have to trademark the phrase.

Can confirm. #librarians #booksky

Film criticism is an environment where straight, white, cisgender, and male voices have dominated for over a century. Now we FINALLY have an influx of diverse voices who offer more context, expertise and analysis! And now, of course, people say critics are worthless now. What a fucking coincidence.

Part of Florida's school book law ruled unconstitutional Siding with publishers and authors, a federal judge Wednesday ruled that a key part of a 2023 Florida law that has led to books being removed from school library shelves is “overbroad and unconstituti...

So, so good!

When we started FFTRP during the 21/22 SY, we were hoping our research efforts would lead us to ruling (or law) that would affirm students’ First Amendment rights.

While we expect an appeal, the judge’s 50-page order offers freedom strong footing.

It is! It sometimes morphs into “tinklebutt” which is a whole different thing.
And thank you so much! It was such a surprise 😊

‘Maybe that’s where we should keep them, all the warm things, the good things. Out there, free.’ ☀️

Godmothers, Godgirls

This was meant to be my first published story, but in a lovely turn of fate, it’s now my second. 🥹
‘Godmothers, Godgirls’ is an ode to women working in crisis. Originally written for @twistinthetale.bsky.social, you can now read it here flashfictionmagazine.com/blog/2025/06... #FlashFictionMagazine

The word “twinklebutt” has been used so much at home since the shortlist dropped. So not only have you revived some darlings in your story, but you’ve created new ones in my house. Congrats Jo 🥳

Thank you so much!!! I’m still screaming 🤠
