You are added to the list. No problem!

Jeezum, sorry for all my comment typos, too. Ack.

Congrats everyone and thanks to the organisers and experts and of course to Erica for putting all this together. Look forward to getting stuck into some earthly fiction 🌏💚

Also I’m looking forward to reading all of these wonderful stories. 📖🌏

Thank you Erica for this very special edition of Top End Fiction.

The link to my story - Life with birds in the fifty second world is correct, but the author listed isn’t me. Could you correct when you can to: Kate Bown, of Wild and Wonderful.

Thank you, Kate :)

Erica Drayton's avatar

Deepest apologies! This has been fixed.

Kate Bown's avatar

Thanks so much Erica :)

Thanks for your time and effort, Erica. Much appreciated.

Thank you so much for the extra effort in getting the TiF Disruption posted.

Unfortunately, while my story, Silverback, has the correct link, the author link you posted is for another Substack author with the same initials. My author link, which I sent as part of this event registration, is @dakelly all lowercase, no spaces, and should pop up as Memoirs of a Mad Scientist.

https://substack.com/@dakelly

Thank you very much for making this correction at your earliest convenience.

Erica Drayton's avatar

This should be fixed now. Apologies for the oversight there.

Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you for spreading the word, Erica. I truly appreciate the effort you put into supporting this Earth Day project, especially in your current condition. I hope that you'll get better soon ❤️‍🩹.

What a marvelous compendium with thoughts, as Jewish person, in mourning for the wonder that was Pope Francis who died on the Monday after Easter and his efforts to urge world leaders and all of us to seek repair for Climate Change.

Yes his loss is felt throughout the world. What a kind man, dedicated to a life of pastoral service.

Trained environmental scientist who has just published a novella about mass extinction/environmentalism (and dinosaurs) here! This is right up my alley, congrats on the hard work everybody and can't wait to start reading through all these! ☺️🌱

Claudia Befu's avatar

Thank you, Jack! Looking forward to reading your thoughts. Next time maybe you're up for a science & fiction collaboration.

Jack Croxall's avatar

Sure, always happy to donate writing to a good cause 🌍

Claudia Befu's avatar

We actually had a science & fiction collaboration with two scientists who answered questions to help us write informed climate fiction.

Hey that’s awesome! I went into science communication right out of env sci at university but if you (or anybody else reading this) ever want to chat about environmental communication my DMs are always open 🙂

Julie Gabrielli's avatar

Well met, Jack. You might want to check out Hari Berrow’s Substack. She’s a clever environmental writer.

Jack Croxall's avatar

I will thank you!

Claudia Befu's avatar

Thank you so much! It would be interesting to talk about how climate fiction might fit into the field of environmental communication.

Can't wait to read everyone's work!
