Gemma Amor

The aim of the symposium is to offer practical, actionable advice, positive support, and to enable women to hold each other up whilst celebrating ourselves

I'll deal with things like:

Imposter syndrome

How to stop apologising for everything all the time

Assertiveness

Boundaries

Negotiation

Setting higher value on yourself and your work

Marketing

Workshopping any issues participants feel comfortable sharing.

I'm excited to announce my involvement in this Women in Horror Writing Symposium, open to any and ALL women, immediately prior to Authorcon VI (Which I'll also be at).

I'm running a course on confidence building skills for birds trying to navigate this industry.

This really is the time of year in publishing where nothingggggg happeennnnnnssss isn't it

Threw books on a bookshelf: Roots of My Fears, edited by Gemma Amor, Fears, edited by Ellen Datlow, and Good for Her, edited by Sarah Jules, Shauna McEleney, and TC Parker

I've had 3 stories edited by Samantha Kolesnik, which makes them special. Those anthologies went out of print years ago.

But thanks to @datlow.bsky.social @manylittlewords.bsky.social & @nefariousbatpress.bsky.social, the stories are back in new books 🖤 hopefully Sam's novellas will follow someday.

Sold out! On behalf of myself, @haileypiperfights.bsky.social, @rjacksonjoseph.bsky.social, @laurelhightower.bsky.social, @manylittlewords.bsky.social, and Pandi Press, thank you!
