I am thrilled to announce the first installment in our Fairytale Reimagined series, now part of The Writer's Block Anthologies: Marked by the Wolf. The Theme This anthology is a loose Little Red Riding Hood retelling. It is open to most genres as long as your story fits the theme. Your story can feature traditional wolves, wolf shifters, or even a "wolf-like" individual—it just needs to revolve around a character who could be considered a "wolf." Rolling Submission Model We are moving away from fixed deadlines. This anthology will remain open for submissions until it is officially "Full." A collection is considered full when: - At least 10 authors have submitted accepted stories. - A minimum of 100,000 total words has been reached. Note on Selection: To ensure a high-quality reading experience, submission does not guarantee acceptance. The Writer's Block reserves the right to decline stories that do not meet our quality standards or thematic requirements. Submission Details - Word Count: 5,000–25,000 words. - Status: Currently OPEN for submissions. - Publication Date: Targeted for approximately 30 days after the anthology is "Full." Professional Standards & Author Services To be considered for publication, all stories must be professionally edited. If you need assistance preparing your manuscript, The Writer's Block Editing Team offers the following services: - Beta Reading: $.005/word (for early feedback to help you shape your story). - Professional Editing: $.01/word. Please note: Utilizing our editing services improves your manuscript but does not automatically guarantee acceptance into the anthology. Rights, Royalties, & Kickstarter Editions - Rights: Authors grant non-exclusive rights to include the story in the anthology. - Royalties: Paid via Draft2Digital royalty split. All contributors must have a Draft2Digital account. - Special Editions: The Writer's Block reserves the right to create Kickstarter editions. - Profits fund professional artwork, organizers, and advertisement costs. - Authors receive the exclusive benefit of being able to purchase these special editions as author copies at cost.

Hey everyone! I am officially opening submissions for my YouTube audiobook channel! I’m looking for Indie Horror, Thriller, and Dark Fantasy stories to feature in a unique, "real-time" narration format. How it works: - Authentic Storytelling: I, Tirzah M.M. Hawkins, record myself reading your work in single-take, one-hour chunks. It’s a raw, storyteller-to-listener experience. - Serialization: Longer stories will be released in parts first, followed by a final "long-form" video once complete. - Free Promotion: Every video features direct links to your book on Amazon and your social media platforms to help listeners find your work. - No Cost: There is no financial compensation, but also no fees—I even buy the digital copy of your book myself if selected! You retain full ownership of your work; I’m just here to help give it a voice. Ready to submit?

I'm dropping anthologies like they're hot tomorrow!!! We're going to have three of them open. No waiting for specific dates. When they're full, they close. Who's excited???

Tapping is one of my favorite ways to clear whatever is getting in the way. I'd love to start a tapping video library for the Skool. Tapping along to a video is super effective. I've used tapping to help me finish NaNoWriMo in 20 days, banish procrastination, get clear on projects, no longer get triggered by certain things in my life. If you are interested in this, I'd love to know (A.)what is your biggest struggle right now in your author career and (B.) would you be interested in a free tapping session with me in exchange for letting me record and share the video after? Where are the brave people who are ready to move forward and let go of what is holding them back!?!?! Raise your hands. P.S. You can answer A even if you don't want to do a video. I need all the topic ideas I can get.
