I'm now systematically targeting submissions at the Krouse 500 (thanks Erika Krouse), working my way top down, particularly to avoid large submission fees & to get my name out there more. Interested? Get in touch. I'll keep you posted on how it goes #WritingCommunity

Mission submission: targeting the top 100 lit mags this year, top to bottom. So far 12 rejections, 2 from the top 20, giving praise & requesting more work. 8 standard rejections, & 2 top-tier rejections. #writingcommunity #authors #writers #litfic #queerwriters #lgbtq

I've been a little absent, because I have lots of exiting publishing news to share- that I'm not allowed to yet. It seems that weird, transgressive fiction does have its place. And so it should. We're all a little weird and transgressive, aren't we? #writingcommununity

My short story Dog Toothed is a quarterfinalist in the ghastly Killer Shorts competition. Let's all howl in celebration. Careful, it bites. #writerscommunity #writingcommunity #authorscommunity #writers #authors
