- working on an #autofiction project or reading #books on it
- reading #literary #fiction
- getting rejected by #litmags
- love #socialhorror (“His House etc)
- are a #journalist or #artist focusing on marginalised groups -

One of my favourite non-fiction short pieces; Underwhelmed in Cuba by Judith Beth Cohen.

Where to publish flash nonfiction. A great list for anyone writing CNF, flash, or both

Recently, a new lit mag closed for submissions after only 50 entries. I wish them the best of luck. May they only have high-quality stories written by actual humans. #LitMags #WritingCommunity

Look what just arrived: my copy of The Baltimore Review's annual print issue! (My story can also be read here: https://www.baltimorereview.org/winter_2025/contributor/joanne-merriam)

One of my stories made it to the second round of consideration at a lit mag back in early February. I sent an email asking if it's still being considered, and they said it might take until next spring for all the editors to read it.

I often wonder why there aren't more calls for Indigenous writers and special Indigenous-themed anthologies/magazines for June. After all, it is Indigenous History month. A shoutout to ALOCASIA for doing so, though! https://alocasia.org #IndigenousHistoryMonth #IndigenousAuthors #Indigedon #WritingCommunity #LitMags #Anthologies

I'm not a fan of form rejection letters which include suppositions of what's wrong with your story.
My most recent rejection included "Sometimes a narrative can be excellent work but simply not be right for the journal. One common reason for this is that the text, though under 1000 words, isn't a flash narrative. This might mean your story would work better as a longer story, part of a longer story, or even poetry."
Another time, I received a form rejection that said my work might be offensive or poorly edited.
Lit mags, don't put stuff like this in your form rejections. If it's personalized and you want a writer to revise and resubmit, ok. But including this in all rejections comes across as condescending or alienating.
Sometimes the story is perfectly fine and just doesn't fit in your issue, and that's ok. I've had stories rejected with these sorts of copy/paste commentary that went on to win contests.
Writers, don't take this stuff personally. Maybe your story does need a bit more revision. Or maybe the form rejection was written by a crankyass. #WritingCommunity #LitMags #publishing #RejectionLetters

February has been a dry spell for me, but I did just receive my author's copies of OnSpec Magazine. My poem "Angakkuq" is featured inside. This magazine is technically a December 2024 release but the print copies were delayed because of the mail strike.
I have three pieces scheduled for print next month: a poem in Strange Horizons, an essay in ALOCASIA, and a story in Flash Fiction Online. In theory, a longer short story will be printed in an anthology, but that anthology has been going through delays for about a year. We'll see. https://onspec.ca/

Today is the day of declining. Three rejections from three different lit mags so far. Time to send those pieces off elsewhere. #WritingLife #LitMags

Don't blame authors if their writing is accompanied by AI-generated illustrations. Unless self-published, we rarely have any say in what images accompany our work. That being said, I'm no longer interested in sending my work off to a certain magazine now that it started using AI for illustrations. #AI #WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity #LitMags #enshittification #AISlop

Looking to read more interesting and unusual poetry and prose.

CW: small press and publishing mini-rant
I loathe the fact that tooting my poetry makes it ineligible for publication in most litmags.

Brief but overflowing with heart and tender voices, Issue 10 (https://stanzacannon.com/issues/issue-ten/) went live a couple of days ago . Give the poets your ear and then, perhaps, give us your voice; submissions are accepted 24/7. Guidelines here: https://stanzacannon.com/submissions.

It’s National Indigenous Peoples month, but I haven’t noticed any pay-to-submit magazines waiving submissions fees for Indigenous authors. Magazines, consider doing this. #LitMags #IndigenousPeoplesMonth #publishing

Here’s a spreadsheet of African lit mags. Support African writers. Read their stuff and buy their magazines. Almost all money paid to the writers comes from the editors’ own pockets. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OSCi0wW8sNOUxVHYCVg0EudNoLDeQmrebyl6TgTkt54/edit#gid=1398659271 #BIPOCWriters #AfricanLiterature #LitMags #Magazines #WritingCommunity #BlackAuthors

If a magazine demands no simultaneous submissions, they should at least have a rapid response rate. It’s unfair to sit on something for months if they’re not going to publish it. #WritingCommunity #LitMags
