paracelsus arrived

paracelsus arrived
before the south gate
was unlocked

while he waited
to ask the watchman
if the pestilence had come
to wittenberg before he had

the east gate 
was opened like an eye

and the morning’s early sun
that had risen from where it waited

its shining entered 
the town like a tide

Marriages seemingly made in heaven can very well end up like hell on earth
😠😡😔
"Ghost Baby" - a short story of love & upheaval, of individuals & society, of harmony & expectations

Please welcome Matt Samuel to the #CYASuccess family.

“When I signed up for the 2021 CYA conference, I was very excited about the opportunity to get some direct feedback, with their Editor Assessment sessions. I had never done any pitches or face to face with editors or publishers before, so I was more than a bit nervous.

I received some great feedback from a couple of editors. And one of these editors was Rowena Beresford of Yellow Brick Books (now Riveted Press). Rowena and I only had 15 minutes to discuss 2 manuscripts. But in that time, she suggested a few things to help improve one story and she invited me to submit that story to her once I had made the changes. I took her feedback on board and submitted within the week. Then a few weeks later I was offered a contract.
 
Without CYA, I would never have had the chance to meet Rowena. Which means without CYA, I wouldn’t have a book being published!”

Read Matt's full story at www.cyaconference.com/cyasuccess/matt-samuel

We're thrilled to have Rowena back with us at #CYA2024.

What is a web literary pill?

A #literary #pill is a #metaphor for something that has the potential to #enlighten, #inspire, or #heal through #literature. It is often used to describe the transformative power of literature, and the idea that reading can be a form of #healing.

Finally had my first bout with Grimmish! What a remarkable book. It's an especially good read for authors who want to explore Michael Winkler's unusual writing craft.

I absolutely enjoyed the creativity of this "exploded non-fiction novel"...the blend of memoir, writing tips, historical happenings, footnotes, social/psychological commentary and full on made up mischief, mayhem and mess (warning: there is lots of male on male sporting violence in the book).

What's also remarkable is that in addition to the innovation and craft he brought to this book (based on an American boxer's bouts in Australia in the early 1900's), Michael Winkler's dedication to the project...his self-publishing journey - his shortlisting for the Miles Franklin Literary Award and then the publishing deal with Puncher and Wattman is like going twelve rounds in and of itself.
