Why all the Writer Scams Right Now?
In which I wonder about the dark forces that may be behind the rash of scams directed at writers and offer some thoughts on how to respond.

As much as I love Starter Packs, long before those, Bluesky had Lists. I started one on #litmags and continue to add to it periodically. You can pin a list (even mine) and see what gets posted by member accounts. Just added @halseyreader.bsky.social today. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Thanks, Fake Elena Ferrante
It was nice to get such a complimentary email about my work, at least until I started to question whether it was legit. It seems I'm not the only writer to get suspicious praise from the mysterious Elena Ferrante.

The manuscript and all files for A Writer's Craft 2nd Edition have been emailed to my editor at Bloomsbury Academic. I guess that means my sabbatical is truly over. Let the semester and the editing/indexing/etc. begin! @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social #AWritersCraft #creativewriting #textbook
