INK ALCHEMY AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT:
This month we are spotlighting author, Eric Sterbenk. Growing up as a military brat all over the world, Eric currently lives and writes in Corning, NY. Perpetually reinventing himself, Eric has worked as a stage manager, actor, photographer, professor, software engineer, and stay-at-home dad—although not all at the same time. He has written plays, screenplays, a YA Novel and is currently researching a TV series set in Paris during WW2.
✨ Find Eric's story, 'Happiness Is for Pretty People' in Shift ✨
He's also editor of the upcoming anthology Black Hole Coffee (see below)

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:

We are accepting submissions for Black Hole Coffee (working title), through the end of April.

Need a spark of inspiration? Here, have a prompt: The story is not yet finished… Think of a well-known story, now pick up from the ending. What happens next?

Warmly,
Naomi Artemi
