Writers, Readers, and Supporters,

NEW PUBLICATION:
We are excited to announce the release of Remembering Tomorrow: Speculative Stories of the Past & the Possible! Experience a temporal trip with this collection of six stories about memory. From a society where memories serve as currency, to another in which there exists a sinister force behind forgetfulness, these stories remind us of the unreliability of recollections and the legacy we leave through the rememberings of those who remain.
Original cover art donated by the talented Jake of Seedbomb. Copies will be sold at their brick-and-mortar store opening up soon on the Ithaca Commons!

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:
Seeking short stories that explore the battle between good & evil, breaking free from oppressive forces, resisting tyranny. This could be in any timeline, planet, reality. Resistance takes on many different forms, and we want to see what you come up with. Show us what hope and resistance can look like.
We're accepting submissions for Against All Odds, an anthology of resistance and hope, through the end of February.

​W​RITING PROMPT:
Need a spark of inspiration? Here, have a prompt: Describe a location (where you are reading this, perhaps) without using adjectives.
.
Writer's Block? Next time you go to bed, think about your story as you fall asleep. Let your subconscious take over. Sometimes you can dream what happens next in your story!
Until next time, and stay tuned for future projects, workshops, and events!
Warmly,
Naomi Artemi (formerly Daniluk)Â
