Like, fuck them SO HARD. And not in the good way.
May every win this month be dedicated to the good fight. You are all awesome, and this community is badass.
Let us celebrate our writerly wins and keep sending our stories into the world in the face of all those who want to ban books, crush the creative spirit, and generally be massive buttheads.
A place for all your writerly wins, achievements, publications, goals smashed, small victories and big news.
With no more preamble necessary, let us get on with The Tooting.
(PS if you want your name in the March toots, please make sure you post your wins in the March toots thread on the forum.)
(PPS If we missed you off the list, we are extreeeeemely sorry. Give us a nudge via the usual channels, and we’ll add you in).
