If you haven’t had a chance - check out my story in issue 10 of @radonjournal.bsky.social.

So much to admire in this piece--the tight focus, the characters, the threat, the anxiety, the implications. And I love the direction it sent my mind in with these lines: “Fuckin’ weird, right? How fast they responded to all this."
Very weird indeed!

Thanks so much for the love!

Radon Issue 10 Infographic stats

Issue 10 Infographic

Record-breaking 1,700 submissions but a simultaneous record-breaking low number of acceptances.

Word count in Issue 10 remains the same, though, as we began accepting work up to 5,000. This issue also marks the first of no reprints, resulting in fewer veteran author subs

Psyched to be featured in Issue 10 of @radonjournal.bsky.social alongside these insanely talented writers!
