Got something exciting in the works, but before that if anyone needs an editor or knows of a paid remote writing/editing/workshop teaching job or gig, I'd be over the moon for you to reach out!

I'm heading to the post office tomorrow if you'd still like to get in on this!

Hey all! As I'm looking for work I'm sort of scrambling to put funds together. If you would like to help, I'm selling a signed bundle of my fiction and nonfiction collection for $30 (would be less but postage sucks). Just PayPal me: caroljeangavin@gmail.com and leave a note with your address.

Once again, a job disappeared out from underneath me, and I'm looking for work, preferably remote or hybrid. If you know of anything, prizes available (my short story collection, small edit or 30 minutes writing coaching) for anyone who can help!

Hey beautiful people! My collection, Magical Objects is out and available through Bookshop and Amazon. You should get a copy. It's good, plus it would also look pretty atop any "to be read" nightstand pile!

Woke up saw pictures of dogs in hoodies and thought of my poodle: I wish my dog wore clothes, but he's a dog he grows his own clothes.

I'm thinking of mine more like a midlife chrysalis, and whatever happens, whatever I come out as is no one else's business.

One of my favorite things about myself is that I'm always reading things so quickly I misread themβ€”for instance, the description of a blue jay: "blue with white underpants."

I have this in my stack of books, but I'm scared to read it.

In the last couple of months, I've discovered an old passion and started swimming. Googling how to improve my backstroke, I read, "Develop a strong catch phrase." Ok? So, I'm also working on a new passion: stand-up comedy. Phase. It was phase. My brain is confused, it doesn't know what I'm doing.

Well crap. If I keep getting new followers I might start actually being active on here! Could be fun?!

I love freelancing, but for the last few weeks, there's been no work. I'm worried about making this month's bills, so if you have any info on a remote job, need an editor, writing coach, writer, or workshop teacher please keep me in mind, and let me know!

Thanks so much Hannah! I've been terrible about updating here, but did find a home for my collection @emergejournal.bsky.social!

It's 21 stories, around 50,000 words. Flash and long pieces. I'm US based, but would be open to a Canadian/ UK publisher.

Where can I send my short story collection? I need someone to publish it. It's weird, whimsical and dark, full of fairy tale, broken, smart-assy girls, and other things. Someone? Anyone?

Discovered a full draft of a rock novel I forgot I completed? And it's shockingly not bad?

I was there too! One of my favorite moments was when he accidentally said "Caroline" and someone(s) corrected him (which constantly happens in the book) and he seemed not amused. The day after I went to The Booksmith in SF and he was secretly signing books in the back.
