#midsummafestival — Public Fediverse posts

One more week!

The countdown is on. 7 days until the 2026 Pearl Prize is announced. Figures crossed🤞

Regardless, I'm proud to be part of an event that celebrates LGBTQIA writers, and I'm really looking forward to getting the 2026 anthology. I can't wait to see my chosen name in print again and read some of the great stories from my fellow finalists. Follow along for updates and a look at my new story,'A different kind of boy'

"In the vulnerability, there's a lot of laughs sometimes," says Finding Glitter in the Storm performer and writer Josh Moyes. #nuerodivergent #lgbtqia #queer #3CR #midsummafestival

I am very humbled & proud to announce that once again, I have been short-listed for The Pearl Prize.

It means a lot to be included alongside other LGBTQIA writers and explore elements of Queer experience. I especially enjoyed writing for this year's theme, 'Turning the names inside out', and I can't wait to share more.

A little thank you to all my loyal subscribers with free access to my recently published story "Shadows of the Digital Dream." Hopefully, celebrating some queer fiction can lift a few spirits at the moment. #LGBTQIA #LGBTQIAstories #Pride #ShortStories #Writing #Trans #MidsummaFestival #LGBTQIA+

First midsumma carnival today with my son. Great celebration of colour, individuality, and all things queer. #pride #Melbourne #midsummafestival
