Hi everyone! I signed up for Fictionistas a month or two ago, but haven’t been that active. I’d like to contribute more moving forward. I write weekly fiction over at Along the Hudson. Looking forward to meeting more fiction writers!

Yes! How could I forget the mighty form that is the short story? I’ve brought shame to the group. Please forgive me, short story authors!

Up up and away! 🚀

Great news!

Hey, it’s Chevanne, writing a mix of poetry, short fiction, and essays that I hope connects with you. Didn’t get to attend the last two meetups but fingers crossed I’ll be free for the next one. Catch me on the Discord.

Thanks for the welcome Jackie & Geoffrey. I write traditional faerie tales inspired by folklore and celtic mythology for adults. I aim to revive the lost art of connection to our magical nature through story and myth. My work includes short stories, novella's and verse, sprinkled with with the odd conversation with fey creatures. All of a gentle and whimsical nature, some illlustrated with pen and ink, line and wash. I post weekly.

Hello from Portland, Maine! I'm brand new here, and to Substack in general. I'm a writer of fiction, as yet unpublished, but have two non-fiction books published about craft beer (What's Brewing in New England, 1997, 2016).
