Our Stories Still Matter

The world is going crazy and it feels like everything that makes us human (art, music, self-expression) is being burned at the stake or cast aside as we watch. We get it and yet, we here at the Circle believe that this is all the more reason to keep creating, keep reading,…

I honestly feel like the Twilight Zone would be bliss right now.

How are we doing EdiBuddies?

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Helping Authors Detect Cyber Scams - The Authors Guild Scams targeting authors have exploded as criminals and disreputable companies seek to exploit the emotions and aspirations of writers. With AI capabilities making the scams smarter and more personaliz...

🚩🚩🚩 It sounds like the plot of a thriller, but clever scams targeting writers are on the rise. We’re here to explain how it’s happening—and how you can stay safe.

We’re also taking questions, which you can submit by preregistering for the event here: authorsguild.org/event/helpin...

Your every waking moment needs to be full of the Chicago Manual of Style or else you aren't right for this position. You also need to be a project manager, social media marketer, and typesetting expert for this role.

Since the world is going crazy over AI, this is just a reminder that I will not work on any AI-generated work. And if I later find out that your work is AI-generated, I am not afraid to blacklist you and share that fact with all my #EdiBuddies

On Grief An Essay

I decided to share an (unedited) essay on my Substack for the first time. The subject matter? Grief. It is just a snippet, but thought it would be interesting to share. Feel free to check it out and let me know your thoughts!

An email that reads: The Heron Clan Submission Period continues Hello fellow poets, how is autumn treating you? FOr some this call for submissions is a blast from the past. For others it is a reminder, and yet others a repeat, as you have already submitted Details are the same: three poems plus a 50=word bio. all in one document to: katherinejamesbooks@gmail.com Thanks Doug

Just a heads up, since I’m seeing this sub call going around again: don’t submit here. They published my work without my permission and have refused to acknowledge/respond to any contacts since.

Ugh, why do I need 2-factor authentication on EVERYTHING?! Because someone wants my info? If someone wants to pay my student loans off, let them 😆
