Hello Fiction Writers!
IMPORTANT NEWS!
I’m adding something a bit different to these emails as a test to see if it’s worth doing so. Normally, this email is pretty basic. Meant to simply inform you that the Send Us Your Fiction form is closing in 1 hour. But what if it also included some pretty important news that would be relevant specifically for the fiction writer community? Sorta kill two birds with one stone.
In that vein, from now on I’m going to include at least one reminder, announcement, or CTA for fiction writers in either the Friday or Sunday (this) email. Let’s see if it works.
TiF Summit Volunteers Wanted!
Have you heard about The 2026 TiF Summit happening in January? It’s a 100% virtual conference for both the fiction reader and writing community. A combination of workshops and panels for writers but also sprinkled in will be reading sessions where writers will read their work. A three day event! And I want you to be a part of it! I’m not looking for gurus or experts. I’m looking for guides who feel they have something to share with the fiction community.
But more importantly, right now, I’m looking for volunteers with so many aspects of this project to assist me in making it the best three day event it can be! So, if you are good with tech (for recording and streaming and sound purposes), have ideas for panels/workshops/events/etc., art design (promotion and workshops/panels/events/session designs), social media (promotion of the event via words and images), or just want to read something during the event? Join our Discord server below and when you get to the general chat channel say, “I’m here for the TiF Summit” and I’ll give you the secret role that will give you access to the place where we’re building this thing together!

If self-promoting, submit NO MORE THAN 2 stories! This is a strict rule that will be enforced.
