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? Fill out the form here to share your story details: 👉 Author Submission Form For real-time support and writing sprints, don't forget to join us in The Writer's Hangout on Discord! Next Step

Hi everyone! I wanted to officially introduce myself. I’m Amber, Tirzah’s partner in crime here in Skool. We’ll both be actively involved in editing, teaching, and guiding discussions throughout the community. As part of our monthly editing thread, we understand that not everyone will be comfortable sharing a work in progress. Some projects simply aren’t ready for feedback, while others are being kept close until publication. We respect that completely. Because of that, we’re adding an optional creative alternative very soon. ✍️ Biweekly Writing Prompts for Editing Practice Every other week, we’ll share a creative prompt you can use to write a flash fiction piece. These pieces may be submitted to the monthly editing thread for a chance to receive a professional edit from one of us, which will be shared with the group for learning purposes. This gives everyone a low-pressure way to: - Practice craft - Experiment with technique - Learn from real edits without sharing from a current manuscript 💡 Prompt Submissions Now Open We’re now accepting prompt ideas from the community. You’re welcome to suggest concepts, scenarios, constraints, or craft-focused challenges. While we won’t be able to use every submission, we’ll be building a rotating prompt pool for future sessions. 📘 Flash Fiction Anthology Opportunity We’re also exploring a flash fiction anthology series built from prompt responses written inside this community. - Participation is optional. - Submitting to the editing thread does not guarantee anthology inclusion. - Pieces not selected for the editing thread may still be invited to submit for an anthology. - All anthology selections will be carefully curated and need professional editing. - Anthologies will be published with shared royalties on D2D, the same as our other anthologies. More details will come later. For now, just know that strong prompt responses may have a second life beyond the classroom. 🧪 Example Prompt You are an ant.
