Thank you, James! I was reading your wonderful 'Shadow' micro from the NFFD competition just a few minutes ago! Just brilliant!

I spy with my little eye... ✍️ How exciting to spot my title on the shortlist! Congrats to all who made it.

During the pandemic, I had days when I felt I was by myself on a shore drained of the tide, dragging a stick across miles of wet sand. There were also days when I was a boy again, sliding down a snowy hill on a flattened cardboard box. And there were days when I remembered the teacher who made us memorize a poem each week, and when we asked why, she said we might one day find ourselves in a wreck at the side of the road and we would recite these poems to stay alive.

A beautiful reminder of what poetry can do.

Oh, my goodness, I'm on the longlist! Congrats, all!

Happy IWD, Ros!

'One of each' -- yay for @trashcatlit.bsky.social, and thanks to lovely editor JP

thanks Matt!

So happy to be published in @okaydonkeymag.com with "Join the Dots". Huge thanks to fiction editor Steve Chang for believing in this story.

Thank you, Sarah❤️

The standard of @welkinprize.bsky.social is so incredibly high I never thought I stood a chance. What a joy it was to receive that e-mail from Matt Kendrick about a year ago!

✍️Totally over the moon with an acceptance today! It came about when the editor of the dream journal got back to me to say they liked it but it needed to be clearer in parts. He added this was not a promise of publication.

Reader, it turned into a much better story as a result. I DID IT!

Thank you @welkinprize.bsky.social and congratulations to all on this sparkling list ✍️✍️✍️

At 3AM, November 17, 1973, "The Colonels" sent a tank crashing through the gates of the Athens Polytechnic. It had been occupied by students protesting the fascist junta. Dozens died, mostly teens, 20s and one boy of 5. Over 2,000 were injured.

The protests it sparked brought down the dictatorship.

Wow, beyond thrilled! Thank you, @matchbooklitmag.bsky.social

Thank you, @welkinprize.bsky.social and @mattkendrick.bsky.social for this honour!

No rejections, no acceptances. Limbo.

I love Carver. Are there spots left?

Oh, what fabulous news! Congrats @jmgatford.bsky.social @flashficfestuk.bsky.social

My Sister’s Life as a Series of Rooms by Nora Nadjarian - CRAFT Room 1 Which is pink or maybe sugar-white, and a cot and little fists stick out of a blanket and peachy cheeks and my mum bent over. The room is always quiet and milky and her little nails scratch…

“She says *Promise not to tell* and I do and we don’t.”

“It’s a girl. *Only if she wants to be* says my sister.”
