Authortunities #30 Oct. 14—Nov. 11
Read For Pixels 10th anniversary fundraiser bundles ➕ RIP LitReactor, Cossmass & Gettysburg Review 😪 ➕ FREE Space and Time #142 from Fall/Winter 2022 〓 read in all 50 US states and 36 countries!
🎃This week I’ve been enjoying the October Fights Blog Hop. AF Stewart runs this annual event every year from October 10-15. There are free books and events from a variety of authors, all horror and paranormal. There is an October Frights Book Fair: https://afstewart.ca/october-frights-book-fair and the October Frights Giveaway: https://storyoriginapp.com/to/fPAZCcZ
Sadly, there have been quite a few magazine and small publisher closings recently. We are all sorry to see them go. A loss for the industry and a reminder to support our small press while we can. Farewell for now to Cossmass Infinities, LitReactor and The Gettysburg Review. You won't be forgotten.
Cossmass Infinities https://www.cossmass.com/update/2023-09-06-permanently-closed-to-submissions/
LitReactor https://litreactor.com/news/litreactor-the-end-of-an-era
