Descriptions now added where possible for these writers.
See here for Team Halloween writers.
The List in alphabetical order (fiction, non-fiction and a designer or two for your micropatronage):
Pick and choose. And explore Substack. My list is far from complete. And I am happy to say that lots of these people don’t stoop to the fakery of AI (artificial intelligence) which should be called AP (advanced programming) for their writing.
Wanna catch the eye of readers? A great way is to be bold and post in NOTES links to your tomes (no matter how large or small), to your ’Stack, and even to your author website if you have one!
dhw=definitely human written (might be using AI-generated images, though) — Please let me know if you wish to be designated as “dhw.”
NOTE: If anyone doesn’t wish to be tagged here, please let me know. The tagging is meant to help writers be seen, not annoy them. Remember, Chat is a narrow alley and Notes is a wide boulevard.

Some Genre (Theme) Days
See my article: Publisher Agent Fiction Genres Defined, with downloadable PDF.
Genre (mystery, romance, sci-fi, drama, horror, historical, etc.)
Literary (usually anything that’s not of a specific genre and often considered to be more focused on ideas that plot, characters, etc., but I beg to differ)
These genre days are great opportunities to showcase your work and are also inspirational! Sad to say that one of those days now hided in Chat instead of being out in Notes. Oh well.
Here’s a list, showing the “host(s)” who often do a summary of the posts:
Mystery Monday – hosted by
Teaser Tuesday – started by

Thanks for reading. Please check out my first book of recently published eerie short stories (ebook, paperback, audio), and my new book of eerie Sci-Fi stories (Kindle and paperback), both from Wordwooze Publishing. (I even designed the covers.) A third book is out now: The Wiccan Tales. A real Halloween treat. I will be posting an excerpt or two plus the cover design before then.
