4/3/23 Writing Update

Hello, friends! It’s time for the monthly writing update.

I’m currently researching online anthologies to submit more short stories for publication. I’ll keep you updated on how it goes!

Recently, I submitted a short story titled “The Killer Doll and the Dollmaker” to Podcastle [https://podcastle.org/], a fantasy podcast that produces audio performances of fantasy short fiction. My story is a contemporary fantasy that answers two questions no one asked: “What if someone gave Chucky a makeover?” And: “What is doll customization like from the doll’s point of view?”

I still haven’t received word on my previous submissions to Transform the World Anthology or the Queer SciFi flash fiction contest. I’ll let you know when I finally hear back from them.

#RevPit is an annual competition for authors with unpublished manuscripts to win a chance to work with freelance editors for 8 weeks and polish and ready their manuscript for agents. I applied to #RevPit in March, and the winners will be announced later in April.

I’ll also be participating in the Twitter pitch event #MoodPitch, in which authors post mood boards for their manuscripts to attract an agent for representation. I previously participated in #MoodPitch in November of 2022, and a similar event called #KidLitMood in January this year. (No, I didn’t end up getting an agent out of it. Let’s hope it works out this time!) You can find my moodboards for those previous events on my twitter account [https://twitter.com/Labrecqueauthor], and stay tuned for the outcome of this one!

Wish me luck.
