After being published in 2022 and an endearing personal rejection in 2023, I am back here! Hurray! Dancing, dancing! 🥳🥳 The Returnee shows up at 17:40 hours BST on THE DAY. Honestly, I kept checking my email inbox every 10 minutes. 😛😛 So grateful! So happy! Thank you! ☺️☺️
FlashFlood is now open for submissions until 27 April! Subs up to 300 words. You can read our guidelines here: flashfloodjournal.blogspot.com/p/submission-g…
And... let's see how many new followers (not you, s3x bots!) we can get before the issue drops later this month! Take our Monday blues away. Give us a follow. 😁
Cover reveal time, folks! 🥳 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘐𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦 3 front cover features stunning artwork by Iranian artist @ATabaraee, known for incorporating Persian culture, history and social issues in her palette. 𝘐𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦 3 drops later this month. Stay tuned. 💫
Delighted to have a piece accepted for National Flash Fiction Day. Still time to enter! @nationalflashfd
I genuinely welcome all comments on my writing, so long as they are considered. I don't expect everyone to like everything I write. It's not a question of right or wrong, good or bad. #TheWritingLife
I try to give my best effort with what I have. I don't have unlimited funds or unlimited time or a fancy degree. What I do have is access to a fantastic library, a vibrant online community, and a few uninterrupted hours per week. I just write my heart out & see what happens.
Okay, I’m curious—how often do you follow-up on a lit mag submission, provided the allotted time has passed? I don’t do this. I figure lit mag editors are busy enough already, and I trust that if I haven’t heard anything my work is still under consideration.
It's ok to follow-up. And it's ok to follow-up more than once. I've had experiences where the fourth time is the time someone says, "Oh thank you for being persistent. This fell off my radar." How to do it, though? - Be respectful - Be brief - Keep good records - Wait
Ooh, delighted to wake up to an acceptance from @punk_magazine for a little betrayal micro. Happy news for a grey day.
Get your gumboots on. Thank you NFFD team. I'm so happy my story 'Kev Woz Here' will be published 19:50 (BST) on Saturday, the 15th of June 2024

‘I urge you to take this course,’ said Chris the wannabe writer, puffing his chest out audibly. ‘I’ve just learnt so much about perspective, dialogue, body language, and senses. And it’s fantastic value.’
Last day of my latest #WriteBeyondTheLightbulb course today. Another brilliant group. A privilege to work with such incredible writers - they've made my job so enjoyable! Anyone interested in doing this course, booking for August is now open.
Flashflood is open to anyone in any country in the world! I’ll be making a list soon of all the places we have accepted stories from!

I thought you might like to know that the romantic comedy I’ve been writing has been accidentally halted by my writing something about satanism in a Wiltshire village - still commercial fiction though
