Connecting Readers to Writers Info #1

Changing the posting method

Descriptions now added where possible for these writers.

The list is getting unwieldy, and Substack seems to be choking on it, so I am posting this info and will post the writers in 2 separate lists (alphabetical by first name) on separate days: A thru M (on Tuesdays), N thru Z (on Wednesdays).

Some time ago, I posted several flash fiction pieces in response to Thorny Thursday, originated by Katherine Elaine and now hosted by

Joseph L. Wiess

. Then I decided to put them together in a book and expanded some of them into fuller stories. And that inspired new stories. I will be posting one of these new stories in its entirety here around November 13th and leave it up through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend (November 28th through 30th). Now, that’s truly “flash” fiction!

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!

More Ways to Be Seen!

The more ways for us writers to be seen, the better! My little list is just one small way. Here are some others so far:

Soaring Twenties, a tri-weekly newsletter and monthly magazine run by a collective of creatives, collaborating to make the internet human again. Run by

Thomas J Bevan

and

Vanya Bagaev

. Strictly for HUMAN creatives. No AI. Hooray!

The Library, curated by

Winston Malone

and

J. M. Elliott

. Promotes writers on Substack and also those who are published. How to Submit. Also check out their Buy Indie page. Browse the Stacks by category.

The Tall Tales Fiction Critique Community, started and run by

Addam Ledamyen

.

Auraist, started and run by

Sean McNulty

. Highlights books for your perusal (some stuff is behind a paywall). Check them out and let me know what you think.

How to support other writers here:

• Restack something you enjoy

• Subscribe, even as a free subscriber (there are still quite a few people hoping to make a living off their writing here, but they appreciate your eyeballs either way)

• Follow here and on other social media

Publisher Spotlight

Your opportunities to get your work published are evolving. One of the latest is right on Substack, where people like these are seeking out your works and either presenting them in print or online (or both in some cases).

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:
