Still can't believe this is happening!!!!
My first full-length collection, DEMONDUST, will be published by the incredible
@GameOverBooks
. If you like horror about mentally ill women (you do if you follow me), keep an eye out for this. ♥️🔪🩸
There's nothing like starting the new year with a new resolution. Ours? We're gonna print more books. Starting with these three. Preorder your copies at
me: my poetry is so bad i shouldn’t even bother with this submission opportunity
an old white man in the paris review:
i want
to touch
you
r female face
lol i got a "not quite, please submit something else" rejection which turned into a "yes we like this, and also are still thinking about your last piece, so can we have both?" acceptance
If I'm being frank, we should avoid saying "it's always a man". Women can & do abuse the implicit trust we have for them.
Terrified to say it, but I had a concerning experience with a 'feminist' horror podcaster a while back & I'm sure she'll get promo from this whole situation.
And, men - a whole lot of that is on us. We need to call out these jackasses when they go over the line - which I see a lot of you doing that today, so good start! But also, it's on us to keep things from getting to this point, because it's not all men, but it's always a man. 7/n
writers, just because you’re not typing doesn’t mean you’re not writing! brainstorming is writing. plotting is writing. having sex is writing. getting ur pussy ate is writing.
is anyone else just not hearing back from submissions anymore? for months now i’ve been ghosted by so many.
is it just me? it’s so discouraging and disheartening.
@AjaSaysHello
not to mention shein has infected the entire market. it’s actually hard to find small businesses to shop from because so many times now they’ve turned out to be shein drop shipping scams
tinder guy: tell me about yourself :)
me: Pascale Potvin is Editor-in-Chief of Wrongdoing Magazine. She was recently longlisted for the Wigleaf Top 50 and nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best Microfiction anthologies, among others. She is the author of SEX, GOD, & OCD...
Today was a great day! Thank you all, so so much, for your support of my pitches- it helped get me interest from an agency!!!!!! ☺️
Then, only a couple of hours later, I get an acceptance from
@perhappened
!!! So in general I am screaming a lot!!!!!💖!!!
@amandaperera
it is actually quite abusive to hold your partner to such a standard that they’re not allowed to feel attraction to any other people life isn’t a movie please grow up
just a PSA to poets/writers to not use the phrase "choose your own adventure" in published work. wrongdoing got an email from the company because apparently, it's trademarked 🥴
a big part of why i liked twitter was for submission call news. is anyone out there curating a newsletter summarizing a lot of the new calls? i would pay money for it i’m so serious
Feedback tip:
Instead of claiming the piece *lacks*, explain what you would *like to see*.
Furthermore, explain *why* you think your suggestions would help the piece—what the specific effect on the reader would be.
Feedback is its own art to be practiced.
So, I wrote and co-directed a feature film.
The teaser trailer for BABY FEVER is here and it's probably the proudest I've ever been of anything.
We are now crowdfunding to afford post-production and distribution. Please check out the campaign & retweet!
This is the best news I've gotten in a while. I'm so happy to say that my debut chapbook, EROTECAY, will be published by
@LupercaliaPress
.
Not bad for a baby poet, eh?
❤️
the MOMENT i had my second publication i made a website to list my TWO publications. i keep seeing these proficient writers going “should i have a website???” YES the answer is YES
SURPRISE

Guess what? I will also be self-publishing a chapbook of CNF in September!
Wouldn't this look so pretty next to EROTECAY on your shelf?
Please contact me if interested in receiving an ARC for blurb and/or review purposes.
my mental health is really poorly written, imo. the panic attacks, for instance, don’t push my character arc forward in any discernible way. please revise.
an agent subtweeted about projects in their inbox- my book included, and i was uncomfortable bc they stated they were afraid i was ‘too abled’ to have written my book. they then reached out to me and i had to outline my life struggles and now i fear i’m being ghosted. so tired!
