Hi Kara, are you referencing the TiF Summit? Unfortunately, we asked for volunteers for the past six months and now that we’re down to the final days I’m not able to open it up to anyone else. I encourage you to be subscribed and make sure you receive TiF Notifications when we open the doors for our 2nd TiF Summit 2027 later this summer so you don’t miss it! Also, I hope this event serves as inspiration for all fiction writers to go Live anytime they want on their own Substack to read their work! 😉

Thanks for doing this, Erica. I'm delighted to be able to upgrade to a paid sub.

So if we can’t remember if we were featured or not …. (I’m fairly sure I am a not.)

Sorry for the delay. I looked it up and you were featured in a past weekly issue in 2025.

I can look it up on my end. I’ll let you know in a minute.

Thanks for this, TIF team! Just out of curiosity, could I submit part 1 of a two parter? It’s not really a serial, just too long for one piece so I split it up when it was published.

Thank you so much for this 😎

Which stories are you wanting - only ones that were featured in the Weekly/Monthly recaps?

Or is it like last year and we can submit anything we wrote that we're proud of?

TiF Team's avatar

You can submit anything you’ve written in the last year that was your best/favorite.

You're tone is far too apologetic. You take a great deal of time supporting fiction writers on Substack. You do it with no real reward to yourself. When altruism has to be adjusted down, that's not a reason to apologize. It's still a reason to celebrate. Thank you for all that you do. I know I don't say it enough.

Very well put. I echo this completely. 🙌 Great work, Erica, and very generous.
