The Rainbow Hub is looking for queer writers again. Please, PLEASE be aware that if you want to write for the site, I NEED people who are dependable. I have absolutely no problem if you can’t meet a deadline for a week, AS LONG AS YOU COMMUNICATE WITH ME.
Again, writers will be paid for their articles. Anyone interested can either pm me on here, or send an email to submissions@therainbowhub.com
Signal boosting, as always, is greatly appreciated.
Sooo, the liveblogging this is clearly not happening. Instead, you’ll be getting Roundups towards the end of the retreat. Really, you will! I’ve been taking notes and recordings. I just need to translate the notes from Bethanese to English.
The Circlet Press Writers & Editors Retreat will be taking place this weekend (Friday April 26th — Sunday April 28th). In years past, attendees have taken to using the hashtag #porncamp to share the fun on Twitter. This year, I’m going to try to make fetch happen liveblog on Tumblr as well. I’ll be using several different tags for retreat posts (#porncamp #porncamp liveblog #circlet press #circlet retreat and probably #nsfw when necessary for those of you who don’t work for an erotic sf/fantasy publisher) so you can follow the action by tracking any of those— or blacklist if you’d prefer to keep your dash unclogged.
These posts will include the fun, out-of-context things overheard at the retreat (akin to the HeardAtCirclet twitter account) as well as some of the more helpful highlights from the topics discussed. So keep your eyes out for Circlet Retreat liveblogging this weekend!
(And if you’re a fellow attendee at the retreat, feel free to chip in your own posts to any of these tags!)
I’m super excited to be involved with this project, a book of short stories dedicated to the Katniss Everdeens, Lisbeth Salanders and Hermione Grangers of the world.
The contributors are a mix of professional and first-time writers, including a few familiar names from Tumblr/fandom: eleveninches, gyzym, jibrailis, narrativepriorities, fahye, bookshop, and hellotailor!
The entire project is funded via Kickstarter, meaning the publishing process is as simple as this:
- You pre-order a copy (or pledge a donation) on Kickstarter, which pays for the publishing process in advance
- You receive the book as soon as it’s published.
- The writers and artists get paid without having to deal with the middleman of a publishing house!
The Kickstarter page is here, if you want to share it around! And if you have any questions/comments, just ask! :)
Guys, I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to be part of this project! It’s almost as thrilled as I am at the thought of reading all the stories my amazing fellow contributors are penning. As a huge fantasy fan, I hunger always in this genre for more stories of ladies who resemble the ladies of the real world: to wit, strong, capable, intelligent women who are the heroes of their own stories. So, really, this project couldn’t make me happier :D
Check out the Kickstarter page (linked above), spread this post around, pre-order or donate if you want to/can, and watch… well, at least one of these spaces, anyway! We’ll keep y’all posted as things develop.
Guys, we’re just under $2000 away from meeting our target! Please reblog and send the link to anyone you think would be interested! :) If enough people invest in this, we’re going to add more bells and whistles to the book than we originally planned. :D
My Kickstarter copy of Scheherazade’s Facade just arrived! JSLKDFJLSDJF So excited to read this bad boy.
