As an editor with a fledgling journal and a lot of passion for connecting with other writers, I like to send feedback with my responses to submissions, be they rejections or acceptances. I do this for many reasons, the strongest of which is simply that when I receive a response, especially a rejection, I like…

Great news, everyone! The 2016 edition of the World Unknown Review is currently available for your reading pleasure! Our third year brought an absolutely staggering surge of submissions, which meant it was really difficult to pick a mere ten stories to be features, but I somehow managed to fish out the shining tales that would…

Everyone always reflects on what they did and didn’t do in the previous year, what they plan to do in the next year around this time, and I’m no exception. I’m just spreading my reflections out like butter to help me keep a good pace with daily postings. Today, I’d like to look back at…

So, today was a very good day, despite having to return to work again after five wonderfully glorious days off. It was a very productive day, too, which means I got to squeeze in quite a lot of stuff before slaving away at a mostly dull-as-tombs evening shift for eight hours. One of those things…

I am very, very pleased to announce that the issue of The First Line (Summer 2015) with my story “Laura and Ollie” is currently available for purchase and perusal.

This is pretty exciting for me, because I’m usually a horrible procrastinator who gets all lost in all the things she has going on so a lot of things slip through the cracks, but I’m all caught up reading through my current World Unknown Review submissions! Which is fantastic, because I’ve already got a good…

It’s hard to believe that we’re already half-way into the second week of October, but it’s true. That means the deadline for Submissions for the World Unknown Review is coming up pretty quickly! Submissions will close after October 31st, 2013. At the time of writing this post, I have received no submissions, which means the…

Sometimes, you just need to take a moment to catch up. You see, I’ve had a lot going on, which is why post have been infrequent at best. Work has just exploded to the point where I’ve been charged with taking care of the two top management positions of a struggling store, I’ve got to…

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I’ve had two glorious days off of work (which sadly ends today) and I didn’t want to say anything before, knowing that I’ve been terribly lazy and generally not feeling well, so I didn’t want to have to fess up to not being a very productive writer in those two days. I…
